My ancestors, the Clawsons, moved to Butler County from New Jersey in the early 1800s.  Some are buried in the Clawson Cemetery, located in a neglected corner near a new, large church.  Some of the family then moved to Darke County, OH.  I am looking for any remnants of the family, or any information about exactly where in New Jersey migrants to Butler County were likely to have come from.

I tried to reply to your posting, but think it went to someone else.

 

I am interested in a couple of Lewis names out of NJ and possibly Hamilton Co., OH.  I research this area along with southeastern IN - I ignore the state line between the Little Miami and the Whitewater Valley.  I work with a researcher on the Michael Pearce family of Scotch Plains, NJ to Trenton, Preble Co., OH, who are likely related to my Pearces.

 

I also link to the Dutch and French Hugenot lines along the NY/NJ line.  My Pearce line may trace to LI/CT and earlier MA.  I invite you to reach to preamble at my website instomer@yahoogroups.com on the "Yorker settlement" at the tri-county area of Decatur/Rush/Shelby Cos., IN in 1820.

My families in Butler County are Chambers, Carson and Roby.  They lived in Lemon Twp.
