Source: Claire Chantell [chantell@virginia.edu]; e-mail February 2007:

Clem W. Lightfoot: appears in the 1900 US Census at 9 years old (born Abt. 1891). He spends a good deal of time living with his married sisters; in 1910, as I pointed out earlier, he's living with Roy and Edna J. Gossett, and then he appears in the 1930 US Census for Cook County, Chicago as living with A. D. Crisman and Mary (Lightfoot) Crisman; his relation to the head of household (A. D.) is brother-in-law. I can't find any death information or marriage information on him.

bullet  Marriage Notes:


No marriage document has yet been found but there is a birth certificate for an un-named son born in Chicago on 7 Sep 1917 to Clem Lightfoot and Ellen Sullivan. A supplemental birth record was filed later by Clem indicating that the un-named son was named as Joseph Lightfoot. Clem's estimated birth date on the original document was 1886 and Ellen's estimated birth date was 1893. Clement William Lightfoot was living in Chicago at the time so it is assumed that this was the same person unless there happened to be two different Clem Lightfoots about the same age.

This marriage or relationship must not have lasted long because about two years later on 9 Dec 1918 in Chicago, Clem was married to Mary Elizabeth Hand.
