Hello all,

My mother, Mary Elizabeth (Clanton) Perry (21 Sept, 1942) has told me that she is a descendant of one of the members of the infamous Clanton Gang of Tombstone Arizona. She is also cousin to the singer Jimmy Clanton (b 2 Sept, 1940) (Yes for those who know of him this is the same man who was known as the "swamp pop R&B teenage idol" :) ).

Her mother, Juanita Eugenia Clanton (b. around 1921 d. May 1954) was married to Grant Young Love (b 1905? d. 1978?) in 1939. Juanita and Grant had 2 children that I am certain of my mother and Charles B. Clanton (b 1940?)

Juanita had at least 2 siblings that I know of, Joan C Hawkins (b.? d. 1980?) and Virginia Boggs (b.? d.?)

I remember Aunt Joan pretty well as she lived with us with her husband J D "Gus" Hawkins , and her mother, my great grandma Clanton.

I am unable to find out anyhting beyond what I have just mentioned and am looking for any and all help that might help me continue in my research. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can at least find out the names of great-grandma and great-gandpa Clanton

Thanks in advance
