Clifford, R. S. "The Robert Sebastian Clifford Chart." This chart was provided to me by Robert's daughter, Mary Ann (Clifford) Cottrell (#2050) (Fort Wayne, Indiana). The large chart is without a title. I am calling it The Robert Sebastian Clifford Chart. The chart, without sources, pertains mainly to the descendants of Robert's grandfather Joseph Clifford. I do not know when the chart was constructed, but it was probably in the 1930s. Information in the chart agrees well with other documents pertaining to our Cliffords.

Lewis, Lacy Clifford (no date). "Early memories of P. B. Clifford and his children." This is an 11 page typed manuscript of reminiscences by Lacy (Clifford) Lewis (#1335), a daughter of Phillip Bannon Clifford of Altoona, Pennsylvania. A copy of the manuscript was sent to me in the 1980s by the late W. Robert Brown (#2036). The manuscript includes Lacy's reminiscences of her grandparents, James and Matilda (Redick) Clifford, as well as her Clifford uncles and aunts and of course her memories of her parents and brothers and sisters. Probably the reminiscences were written in the 1940s. Perhaps Lacy dictated it to someone who typed it in Lacy's own words. There are many errors in Lacy's account of the Cliffords, but for a colorful unpretentious account of our ancestors, it is a most valuable and treasured document. Indeed, much of what we know of the Clifford's Lockport house is from Lacy Lewis's reminiscences. Unfortunately, page 5, which includes Lacy's memories of Hugh McClune Clifford, my grandfather, is missing.

Lytle, J. P. 1909. The Reed Family. History of Descendants of Robert Reed, Sr., 108 pages. Printed by the Independence Office, Marion Center, Indiana, Pennsylvania. This is an important Clifford reference. One of Robert Reed's (Sr.) sons, Robert Pomeroy Reed, married Sarah Clifford (#55), daughter of Charles and Jane (Gordon) Clifford. Most of the book pertains to Robert and Sarah (Clifford) Reed and their descendants. Although there are few sources, the information, with a few exception, meshes with other documents relating to our Cliffords. John Pomeroy Lytle (J. P.) (#811) was a grandson of Robert and Sarah (Clifford) Reed.

Easton Express Print, Easton Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, 85 pages (FHL film 1429853). This book is mainly in tabular form. There is a brief introduction, followed by tables of names and dates, and then a biography section of a few of the Maxwells, for example General William Maxwell and Captain John Maxwell (see #6). The author, Henry Dusenbery Maxwell (#485) (1862-) was a son of Henry D. and Louisa (Honeyman) Maxwell, and a great grandson of John and Mary (Clifford) Maxwell.

McConaughy, F. 1891-1893. Francis (Frank) McConaughy, MD, born 1813, wrote numerous articles about his experiences and acquaintances in the Ligonier-Fairfield area of Westmoreland County in the nineteenth century. These articles appeared in the Ligonier Echo between 1891 and 1893. They were collected by Michael S. Caldwell. An obituary, with much information about Dr. McConaughy is at the beginning of the collection, taken from Jordan (1906), pages 338-339. Francis McConaughy was obviously well acquainted with some of our Ligonier Clifford ancestors. I have very little "family lore" type information for the Ligonier Cliffords; and, although Dr. McConaughy's comments about our ancestors were tantalizingly short, they give us a kind of information not found in census records and legal documents.
