My father was Clarence Henry Clipper. He was born in
West Virginia (Fairfax County). Oral history indicates
that his family (his grandfather) began on a Klippert or
Kleiper family plantation in Hanover County Virginia. When
slaves were freed, my great grandfather, his wife and 10 children
moved to Washington D.C. where most still live. My father is
the son of Henry Clipper. My father's mother was Louise Goodlow.
As both my grandparents were either biracial or one-quarter white,
I am trying desperately to find both sides of the family. My father
died when I was three and I want to know more about him, his families and
where he came from. If you are either side of the family, Black or White, please
write back. Thank you.
