| The 1850 Alabama census lists John R. Claffey in Jackson Co. My research indicates this might be a misspelled surname and is actually a man named John R. Caffey. If you can shed any light on this question I would appreciate it. |
| In Tallapaloosa, Alabama, Mathew Claffey married Sarah H. Calloway on 22 Aug 1844. Ref. LDS film. |
| A man named Claffy M. Tillman died in Mobile, Alabama 11 June 1910. Does anyone know his Claffy connection--was this his mother's maiden name? Who was she? |
