I am only aware of a few Claffeys associated with the Washington, DC area:
. |
| Helen Claffey b 14 March
1910 was there around 1930. She died October 1981 in West Hartford,
CT. I have not yet determined her family ties.

Thomas Harry Claffey lived and worked in DC from around 1913 and held a
number of prestigious positions. He was the son of John W. Claffey
and Mary Ann Harley Claffey of Trenton, NJ. He was an avid tennis
player, and was invited to a number of functions at the White House during
Woodrow Wilson's presidency. His brother Joseph worked in DC as a
special agent for the Department of Justice. Thomas H. Claffey and his family will be outlined on the New Jersey page. . |
|
In 1905 Charles Claffey (son of James Claffey of Waterbury, CT) was arrested
at the White House for refusing to leave and kept insisting that President
Teddy Roosevelt owed him $10,000. It was deduced that he was suffering
from a mental disorder and his father was contacted.
