I need to research...

John Samuel Claxon
- br March 24, Owen CO., KY.Died Oct. 30, 1953, believe in Delaware CO., IN.
- since he was a Claxon, he was obviously related to my Claxon/Claxton
ancestors in Owen County, Kentucky
- Is he the same John Claxon as John D. "Sam" Claxon I have a photo of,
brother to my Elizabeth Katherine Claxon Oliver?
Points to research:
- census records in Delaware County, Indiana
- census records in Owen County in addition to what I have
- marriage records where available
- check my cemetery records also.
Source: info on him came from:http://genforum.genealogy.com/in/delaware/messages/51.html
in a message from Kenneth Ellis.

Research:
Thomas Oliver Whicker
1850 NC Forsyth Co US Federal Census pg313 taken 26th Nov 1850, Roll # M 432_630

While following up on this last I found my Marinda M. Fry at last! She is there in Forsythe County, North Carolina with her parents, Joseph and Elizabeth AND her siblings, Phebe C., Rebecca J. and Edward G.! This is something I have been looking for, for years and years, in order to find out what her mother's name was. And of course, I also got Thomas Oliver Whickers information, just where it was supposed to be. Thank you Suzanne for the reference!

So I spent time researching that census and came up with a lot of Whickers in there as well as Smiths, a few Starbucks and a lot of CREWS that I made notes what pages they were on. I have to translate my notes into a web page now, for research purposes. But there's another generation beyond Marinda that I have gained...

Evidence of Nancy is found in my grfather's( Warren H Young) handwriting on the back of an envelope. It states that Aunt Nancy Smith married a Wicker. She is the sister to Mary C. Folger. The notes go on to say: Her daughter (Melissa?) was wife of Jo Frank Sullivan. Elza Shelton's mother was a daughter of Aunt Nancy Wicker and a sister of Joe Franks wife and firt cousin of Aunt Polly (Mary C.)

Thank you for the information. I haven't had a lot of time to work on genealogy lately, but at least this is here for the record when I start researching again! Much obliged for the message!
