Surnames: Claypoole
On April 25, 1788, at Kingston, Jamaica, a son was born to James and Helena Claypoole (Kingston Parish Register, Vol. 1). They named him Abraham George, undoubtedly in honour of (Captain) Abraham George Claypoole, a Revolutionary War army officer, the eldest son of James Claypoole Sr. and Mary Chambers Claypoole and therefore a (half) brother of James Claypoole, Jr. In 1804, four years after the death of Abraham George 'the younger' (Kingston Parish Register, Vol. 2), Abraham George 'the elder' appears to have visited his brother James as records show A.G. Claypoole arrived at Philadelphia from Kingston, Jamaica on August 11, 1804, on the Ship Hanah (sic) (Philadelphia, 1800-1850, passenger list - www.ancestry.com )
