JESSE H. CLIFFORD, farmer, son of Allen W. and Susan (Moore) Clifford, was
born July 12, 1841, in Pike County, Ind.  The father was born in Kentucky,
March 25, 1816, and came to this county in his boyhood, and located in
Lockhart Township.  About 1835, he married and settled in Patoka Township,
where he lived until 1840, when he removed to Lockhart Township.  Some time
after he started to Indianapolis to transact some business, his son taking
him to Oakland City.  Whether he ever arrived at his destination or not, is
not known.  His fate remains a complete mystery.  He left a wife and son,
a good farm and pleasant surroundings.  The mother's death occurred August 7,
1852.  Our subject who received a limited education in youth, was married
July 25, 1861, to Tasa L. Davis, born December 14, 1842.  To them were born
