   I am researching Thomas Clawson who married Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of John and Jane/Jean (___) Wilson Sr. by 1783 in Berkeley County, VA (now WV).By 1797 they had moved to Mason County, Kentucky now Fleming County, Kentucky where they bought land from Elizabeth (Wilson) Clawson's brother-in-law and sister, John and Mary (Wilson) Jones Sr.Sometime between 1811 and 1826 they moved to Ohio, but I have not yet been able to determine where.I have found references to a Rachel Clawson who married a William Berryman and who lived in Allen/Auglaize Counties, Ohio, who may have been Thomas' daughter.
