I went through many years worth of Mark Twain Journals and found this:
The relation of Mark Twain to Cyril Clemens by Isabelle Budd. Mark Twain
Joun. vol 23, fall 1985
page 2 It says that the spril of '84 has more info. I do not have that copy.
Genealogy map pg 1 by Lucius M. Lampton
Genealogy of Lamptons pg 3-49
page 2 says that Pamela Clemens married William Moffett and had
Annie who lived from 1852-1950 and married a Webster.
Their # 2 child was Sam Moffett who lived from 1860 to 1908 and married
Mary Mantz.
Mark Twain Joun. vol 27, #2 fall 1989
Another MT Journal says that Annie and Charlie Webster had a son, Samuel
Webster
and HE gave a servant girl $500 as a Christmas gift to go to Wash. DC and
Phil. PA
and HE went with her for this trip! (So maybe something happened there!)
MT Journal vol 32 #2, fall 1994 pg 11-22
I went to Utah a few years ago and got some info on the family line.
I could not find it last night. I'm going again to Utah in July and will
look up more
info. I'd be happy to make a family line on a web page of all this info
if people think it would help for other research projects.
Thanks for your time!
