There was a Clapp Baby Food plant in Rochester, NY.
My father, Fred B. Morgan, was an engineer there. I used to earn extra money by pulling weeds in the large grassy front of the building. I believe it was on Mt. Read Blvd., north of Lyell Avenue, Roch. NY. I am attempting to put together the work timeline of my father. If you have any input I would greatly appreciate it. my email: is : drm4u@cox.net

Army Pfc. Richard E. Clapp, 19, of Seattle, Wash., Korean MIA Identified

RIP2012 — 2012-04-23 22:02:41Z

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 292-12
April 19, 2012
Soldier Missing in Action from Korean War Identified

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in action from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors.

Army Pfc. Richard E. Clapp, 19, of Seattle, Wash., will be buried April 25, at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.

On Sept. 2, 1950, Clapp and the C Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment came under fire near Yulchon, South Korea, and Clapp was killed in action. The Army was unable to identify his remains at the time, and the remains were buried as "Unknown" in a military cemetery on the Korean Peninsula.

In 1951, the U.S. consolidated cemeteries on the peninsula. The unknown remains were interred in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

In 2011, due to advances in identification technology, the remains were exhumed for identification. Scientists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory used circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools such as radiograph comparison, and dental records to identify Clapp.

Today, more than 7,900 Americans remain unaccounted-for from the Korean War. Identifications continue to be made from the remains that were returned to the United States, using forensic and DNA technology.

For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO web site at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call 703-901-7097.

Here is the link to the photos I took at Seneca Cemetery...

http://flic.kr/s/aHsjysURC7

Phoebe Sophia Nave's origins seem shadowy to me. I have yet to find any source referencing her by her maiden name. There was a Nave family resident primarily in Taney County, MO as early as the 1830s and we are fortunate to have some details about them from The Turnbo Manuscripts, a keyword searchable archive of which can be found at the following site.

http://thelibrary.org/lochist/turnbo/index.html

Among the stories related is one which mentions two brothers of Alexander Clapp, Patterson and Irving (see WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE BY WOLVES). From this and available census records we know that the Clapp and Nave families (or members thereof) were residing and/or working in the same localities, so it makes sense that our Phoebe came from this Nave family. Anecdotal evidence is provided by the fact that the marriage record for Benjamin Franklin Word and Mary Jane Clapp lists Thomas Stallcup as a witness. Thomas Stallcup was the son of Delila Elizabeth Clapp by her second marriage. Her first husband was Granville Nave who I presume to have been a brother or half-brother of Phoebe.

If it is the case that Phoebe came from this Nave family, then looking to their origins, the records indicate the elder members all came from Tennessee, and it turns out there was a fairly well documented Nave family which had settled in eastern Tennessee around the time of the America Revolution. That family had roots in Switzerland. Here is a link to a document describing this family...

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~moliving/Nave_2009_0409.pd...

I note that this history branches off to a tree that diverges from the one Phoebe would have belonged to, but it is one explanation for the Tennessee origin of her parents. What I take away from the narrative is that these Nave's were frontiersmen who moved directly into Indian lands. So it is at least conceivable that there was interaction or even intermarriage. But so far I have not found clear link nor lineage that would even suggest Native ancestry. I have a feeling this question will never be answered satisfactorily.

Hi, nice to hear from you. Sounds like it was an interesting trip to the cemeteries. Were you able to take any photos? Concerning the Native American connection. It was only family lore in my wife's family that Radiant Word's mother was 100% Oklahoma Cherokee. Her mother was Mary Jane Clapp but her name was unknown as part of the family story. Now as we see it is more likely that it was actually Mary Jane Clapp's mother, Phebe with the Native American blood or connection. What do you think, any ideas?

I wish I could help you I just wanted to inform that is what my mother used to give us when we were babies in the Panama, Canal Zone and my Uncled would tease her because of the name but I guess it was good because we were very healthy and never really went to the doctor.

But as I said I wish I could help you because I would love to see a bottle myself.

Hi Richard,

Last week I had an opportunity to visit the graves of Alexander, Phoebe, Emma E., Oliver and wife Emma A., Clapp, at Seneca Cemetery. The cemetery is divided into Oklahoma and Missouri sections. The Clapp family plot is in the Missouri section. Oliver's headstone is different than the others, and it appears his remains may have been removed from their original resting place at the Wyandotte Indian Cemetery in Ottowa, Oklahoma. I suspect this happened because Oliver was not Native American, and if that was the case, his parents were not either. Alexander Clapp clearly was not Native American, but I don't have enough information about Phoebe Sophia Nave to make that determination. I am curious, why do you think she might have been Native American?

I have some information on Harold H. Clapp who founded Clapp Baby food.

The last surviving son passed in June:

Jack Clapp, 89, entered this world in Ithaca on Aug. 28, 1921, and passed peacefully on Wednesday (June 22, 2011).

As an infant, his parents, Harold H. Clapp and Anna (Alberger) Clapp began making his food in the basement of their home, leading to the first baby food business (CLAPP'S) based in Rochester.

Jack entered the Navy to serve in WW II. He was one of the original "Flyboys" chosen from the Rochester area. Based out of Key West, he was a subchaser; he then served in the Reserves for many years flying out of Niagara Falls. Jack's life work was as a mechanic.

In 1943, he married Catherine L. Kurtz of Wayland. Together they have seven children. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Catherine Clapp; children, John (Cathy) Clapp, Helen (William) Keough, Suzanne Donald, Elizabeth (David Christie) Clapp, Mary Catherine (Tom Newton) Clapp, Debbie (Eric) Kmentt and Roger Clapp; 17 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.

Services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the Visiting Nurse Hospice. To share a memory with family please visit www.NewcomerRochester.com

Also, do you know if Wesley was married once before his marriage to Alaphan? I have found a Wesley Clapp marriage record earlier, and he would have been old enough.

Re: Gilbert Clapp, Wesley G. Clapp

Clapp1938 — 2011-07-21 16:40:02Z

both Gilbert and Wesley were descendants of George Gilson Clap, one of the first five Clapps to come to this country.

I believe that Wesley married my ggrandmother Vina Huber nee White. My grandmother, was born Baby Girl Clapp to Wesley G Clapp and Vina B Clapp, May 1 1889 in Battle Creek Twp., Calhoun County. Birth information says Wesley was born in New York and Vina in Ontario. Canada. According to my grandmother she was born in Harmonia Michigan, which is no longer in existance. Vina left Wesley around 1892, but was told that my gram had step siblings from Wesley.
I've been trying to find a marriage certificate for them and have searched Michigan records from 1886 to 1888 to no avail.
Vina was married to Henry Huber and lived in Buffalo NY according to the 1880 census. I checked the directories in Buffalo and he disappears from them after 1882.
Do you think it's possible that your Wesley is my ggrandfather?

CLAPP-HATCH connection in VT

Vica1Anna — 2011-07-10 03:51:46Z

Does anyone know anything about a Hannah Clapp who married one Daniel C Hatch in Westminster VT? I do not believe this is not my line but I am interested in drawing other connections by tugging on the threads of this family tree.

Daniel was born 1789 (unknown as to where) and died Jun 5, 1815 in Westminster, VT. He married Hannah Feb 26. 1811 and they had 2 children (and I know some of the descendant history) before he died. I am really trying to figure out who Daniel and Hannah's parents were and if they were related to other Clapp or Hatch relatives in the area.

Thanks for your input. Possibly there is a direct descendant or a distant cousin who can shed some light on these folks.

Here is some of the thing I have learned in research of Joel Clapp and Malinda.

THIS IS THE 1850 LIMESTONE TEXAS
109 32 Clapp Joel 49 M W Farmer 4,000 NC
109 33 Clapp Malinda 49 F W GA
109 34 Clapp Martha L. 22 F W AL
109 35 Clapp Francis M. 14 M W TN
109 36 Clapp Caladona 13 F W TX
109 37 Clapp Texana 10 F W TX
Notice if you will that the show to have moved around a bit.
My connection of this family is through the Matheny Line. here is what I have found.
There was a county Split of Limestone County and Freestone was founded 1850. I have seen dates of on the deaths of Joel and Malinda here is what I have found. Notice the above Joel was born in North Carolina - Martha born in Alabama - Malinda was born in Georgia. Francis (Male) born in Tennessee. - Calodina born in Texas and Texana.also in Texas.
Here is all the children of Joel and Malinda but while I have found info I can't vouch for it 100 percent some may be missing.
John Eldredge Clapp --1825 – 1870 born in Alabama --wife Amanda death in Kaufman Texas
Martha Lavonia Clapp ===1827 – 1890 Married John Hawthorn died in Trinity Texas she then married Thomas Jefferson Clark
Mary Elizabeth Clapp = 1829 – 1890 -- Married Eli Holtzclaw then Simon Butler. I have a source on Eli but nothing on the last?
Lewis R Clapp -1830 – 1877 born in Alabama died in Houston married Rebecca Langston then he married Lavinia Johnston
Francis M Clapp ---1836 – no death date and no spouse mentioned
Caladonia Clapp = 1837 – 1854 born in Texas and died Texas She married William Pipes she had one son James Ely Pipes she died shortly after or during childbirth
Texana Virginia Clapp ==1840 –she married 1857 to Simon M Deerman/Dearman not certain of the spelling.

My grandfather was Joseph Clapp. He was born in Chesterville, Texas - near Eagle Lake, I believe.He was a rice farmer in that area. I believe he also trained & raised hunting (bird) dogs & horses. I have no information regarding my mother's family "roots". If you have any information, please contact me
