Born in New Jersey about 1785. We don't know his date of death. Hartness Clawson and Sarah Sickels had three sons (John, James and William H. Clawson now DNA proven through thrulines and one daughter Phebe Clawson (DNA proven thru Thrulines) who married a McWilliams.
Sometimes people put down in ancestry Hercules Hartness Clawson but his name is Hartness as proven by official documents (#1 a land deed and #2 his son John's death certificate which make it clear his name was Hartness). Documents on this man and where he exactly lived is hard. Please if you have information about him please let me know so we can share it here. I do have a deed I found for him where he was given land by his wife's father. His father in-law in this deed names him as the wife of Sarah Sickels his daughter and spells his name as Hartness Clawson which proves that Sarah Sickels was indeed his wife! He also shows up on his son John's death certificate where it is spelled "Hartness". He can be found on his daughter's Phebe's death certificate where the name is badly misspelled "H....Kles". This is where I am afraid the name Hercules came from. The name really can't be read properly off of Phebe Clawson McWilliam's Death Certificate clearly but her father's name is Hartness. Please let me know if you have found any other mention of this man's name or any other proof of additional children or where he lived. Thanks - Steve Howell
I would be especially interested in knowing about Truelines that show other children branching down from Hartness.
