  General Notes:

From Jinks Magee:

"George N. Clampitt was Presbyterian Minister, and my gr-grandfather on my mother's side was a Baptist Minister - and they knew each other. The family tale goes that they used to eat Sunday dinner together at one or the other's houses and argue over religion. Geo N. Clampitt was a Mason, and his picture is hanging in the Masonic Hall in Arcadia, LA. A friend of mine went to a function there and took a picture with his camera for me. - Jinks"

He and his wife Mary [born 1822 in Alabama] came to the community of Arcadia in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in 1857 when this was frontier farming country just being settled by people migrating from east of the Mississippi River. And by the way, if you don't already know this, in the State of Louisiana the unit of local government called a "county" in all the other states is called a "parish" which is a tribute to our early French and Spanish Catholic heritage.
