Hi Amy-
I have Theophilus Claspell and Loucyntha Anna Dayvolt's Bible and I have already made copies of all the births, deaths, marriages, etc.and would be glad to send you a copy. Since he died in Vanderburgh County in 1931, I went to the health department to find out who his parents were, because they list them on death certificates. His father was Clement (Clemant) Claspell and his mother was George Ann Henn (Hein, Hinne, Hume). They both lived in Warren County, Kentucky at the time Theo was born in 1854, but I haven't been able to find any marriage info on them. Clement was born in Kentucky in 1812 and George Ann was born in Kentucky in 1826 according to the 1850 census. Clement was living (with no wife or kids)with his brother Samuel Claspill(born in 1815) and his family and George Ann was living with Jacob Rees and his family. An Enoch Hinne (from Massachusetts) married Mrs. Fatuna Rees in 1824, so Jacob and George Ann could be step siblings. I found all this info on a Warren County Kentucky genealogical website. I haven't been able to find any trace of Clem in 1860, but he is listed in the 1870 Warren County website as Clement Clasby living with Mary A. and their small children, with no sign of Theo or who Ibelieve is his brother Lemuel (who was born a couple of years before Theo). Of course they would both be mid- teens by this time, so who knows where they were. I did find both of them in Gibson County in the 1880 census. Clement Claspill married a Mary Ann Harlow in 1856, so it seems George Ann died shortly after Theo's birth. By 1880 Mary Ann Claspill is a widow, so we know Clem died sometime between 1870 and 1880. It sure doesn't help research with all the different ways they spelled their last name (and don't even get me started on all the ways Anna Dayvolt's family spelled their name!!!) My great grandmother Shrelda Claspell (married to James Crilley) was Theo and Anna's daughter. Hope this helps:)
