Single candidate

Jehu Cliffton

So. Mulberry Ward, Philadelphia, PA

b ca 1772 - d ca 1850 in Delaware

m Susannah Elizabeth

ch Mary, William and Ann

parents Jehu Clifton and Mary Hudson

​1799 Philadelphia Directory, near 72 Cherry Street, house carpenter

1800 Philadelphia, So. Mulberry Ward tax list, carpenter

1803, 1804, 1805 Philadelphia Directory, carpenter, 106 N. 8th (1802 same trade and address given for John Clifton)

1800 US census records Jesse Clifton in MD, John Clifton in MA, Joshua and Joseph Clifton in DE, in addition to JEhu in PA. Jehu was researched based on the W Powell links cited in GAWP5.

Noting the 1802 entry for John Clifton on 8th mentioned above, a similar parallel was found in the Philadelphia deed records for 1805. Here a John Clifton and wife Susannah, bought and sold property on Locust Street. John's trade was a house carpenter. John may be another carpenter in Philadelphia at the same time as Jehu. However, since no census records (1800-1830) or other period records were found for a John Clifton, John and Jehu may be one and the same craftsman.

(The presentation of visually based elements (scale imprints, scale drawings, etc.) is a challenge, especially when moving from the printed page to the realm of an electronic medium. For reference, the original GAWP 5, CAWP, BARS and SOJ publications had pages which were 8-1/2" in width.)
