"David Clapp, State Line City, farmer, was born in Orange county, North Carolina, on the 24th of November, 1817, and is a son of John and Margaret (Huffman) Clapp. He came to Newel1 township in 1838; was employed during seven years, alternately, by Squire James Newell and Asa Duncan, and thus accumulated enough to buy the first piece of land. By successive additions he has increased the quantity to two hundred and fifteen acres, valued at $8,500.
He was married on the 24th of February, 1847, to Hannah Blair, who died on the 11th of September, 1852. He married again on the 16th of August, 1854, to Mary Jane Cunningham, who was born on the 25th of July,1834. Four living children have been born unto them: Sarah Jane, John Wesley, James Henry, Charles Asbury.
In politics he is a democrat, and in religion a Methodist." (History of Vermilion County, Illinois, by H.W. Beckwith, 1879, Page 957) [779]
