NOTE - The 1880 census record clearly shows "John Lightfoot" at an age of only one month. The gravestone of Clarence Lightfoot indicates a birth date of April 1880 which would make him about 1 month old at the time of the census, yet his name does not appear on the 1880 census record as Clarence. Perhaps his full name was Clarence John Lightfoot or John Clarence Lightfoot. A son born later on 2 Dec 1884 was then named John Henry Lightfoot.
.

• He appeared on the 1900 US Census in Carterville, MO on 1 June 1900. ²
