Jackie Albert Claywell has been found.He was born to Clara Allen and Horace Claywell in St. Louis, MO.When Horace and Clara were married, she had to have permission from her guardian, Lillie (Allen) Vocker, her older sister.
Lillie's and Clara's mother died the same year that Clara was born.Their father died about 5-6 years later.I don't know who raised Clara and Lillie.Clara and Horace were divorced soon after Jackie's birth.Jackie never knew his father.Clara married again, and Jackie took his step-father's name.He also became "Jack" rather than "Jackie".
This information was provided to me by members of Lillie (Allen) Vocker's family.
