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! Jules
