I'm not going to write this post about the family of John Ludwig Clapp

 I had intended to write a blog post about the family of John Ludwig and Anna Margaret Strader Clapp.  They are an interesting family. But after closer examination, I know longer believe they are the parents of the Barbara who married John Philip Clapp, so this family would be considered cousins, not ancestors.  I would dearly love to find who the Barbara is that was married to John Philip, but it appears that more seasoned and determined researchers than I am have not yet found her.  I am eager to hear your theories and ideas, and especially your documentation!
