Individual Details
Daniel CLAPPER
(9 MAY 1772 - 18 AUG 1847)
Daniel CLAPPER the oldest(?) son of Emanuel was a bound boy for eleven years to one BRUMBAUGH living near Hagerstown, Md. On reaching his majority he came to Piney Creek to the farm known now as the WOLF farm.
At this early time the country was a wilderness. The said Mr. BRUMBAUGH formerly owned this farm and during Daniel's bondage he threatened to run away when BRUMBAUGH promised him that if he would stay his time he would give him this farm. In the mean time, BRUMBAUGH sold the farm to
Daniel's father, who moved on it. When Daniel was free he came to claim his property when he was told that his father had bought it.
Daniel married Catherine LOWER of Williamsburg and settled in Canoe Valley on a farm now owned by Charles ROSS.
Daniel CLAPPER with his family of 12 children moved from Canoe Valley to Carson Valley in 1827, where his sons Jacob, George, and Emanuel lived for 70 continuous years and died there and were buried in the Carson Valley Cemetery by the side of their parents. The Carson Valley farm being divided, George, living on the one part and the bachelor brother, Jacob, lived with Emanuel on the other part. Daniel had 69 Grandchildren. His progeny extends the length and breadth of our country even to California. The writer is a great-great grandson of the first Emanuel CLAPPER who landed in Baltimore Harbor in 1765.
