MORE QUESTIONS: Who is the Daniel K. Claffee who lived in Providence, RI in 1830? Who is the William J. Claffie who married Carrie E. Briggs 10 May 1888 in Rhode Island? Some of the above Claffey families have a family tie to the Bagnall family.  What is the connection? While Clabby and Clabbey are legitimate surnames, Claffy and Claffey are often mistranscribed this way because of difficult to read handwriting.  Is the Ellen Clabbey who married Edward O'Riley 27 Nov 1872 in Providence, RI, really a Clabbey or a Claffey? Who is Keren Claffee who lived at the Home for Aged Poor in Pawtucket RI in 1890? William Claffy m. Catherine Egan 21 Feb 1848 in Providence, RI vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
