Clapp connections
I just heard from a Clapp relative still living in England. They contacted the Strong family to offer help if needed for anything in the Old Country!
I was thrilled to hear from them. I am related to the Clapp line through my Ebenezer link.
How exciting to hear from a cousin 400 years removed!
I too am related through the Ebeneezer line to Nathaniel, Noah, Noah, “Lemuel” (our missing link), Lewis, Van Renssler, Lydia, Martha, Mary Lou, Cheryl and then me! I don’t know why no one has lemuel in their listings he is in his wife (mary bigelow)‘s family book.
