Cliffords

I owe a great debt to my cousins the late Charles Dick Clifford (last addresses were 136 Grace Court - #5, Fort Mitchell, Kentucky 41017 and 4701 Lebanon Pike Apt. A105, Hermitage, Tennessee 37078), and the late William Robert Brown (last address: 1605 Sako Court, Belair, Maryland)—see Dedication. Edwin B. McKinney (5821 Walnut Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15237) provided information and photographs of Lillian (Clifford) McKinney's family. Mary Ann Cottrell (2233 Turnberry Lane, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46814, provided much material, including letters, photographs and charts collected by her father, Robert S. Clifford. David Parson Brackett (1078 Towne Road, Sequin, Washington 98382-8864) shared his information on the Cliffords and Whites of Hardy County, West Virginia.  

Barbara Martin was generous in providing me with information on her Whitsett ancestors. I appreciate the excellent services of Laura Triggs and her colleagues at the Family History Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in Edmonton, Alberta.

I could not have compiled this genealogy without the help of my wife, Joan. She read census reports, transcribed wills and other documents, helped with the correspondence, read draft copies, made suggestions and provided encouragement throughout the project. See also Clifford, Joan (2005) Joseph Robinson of Fayette County, Kentucky, and Descendants.

Although the Acknowledgement Section is that of the book, I would like to add one name (January 2004) that pertains to the web site. The web site was designed and constructed by my son John H. Clifford (#2045), whose field is computer science. His knowledge of HTML authoring and his time and attention with this project, despite his other duties, made this a great web site.

The following individuals or agencies provided valuable information or advice or both for my Clifford-line ancestors:
