Clarence E. Mulford, creator of Hopalong Cassidy, was born 3 Feb 1883 in Streator, LaSalle Co IL, and died 10 May 1956 in Maine.
Appears in the 1920 census in Brooklyn NY, age 36, b IL, father listed as b NY (apparently incorrect) and mother b IL.
His mother, Grace, is in his household, age 56, widow, born IL, father b Germany, mother born New Jersey.

One biography of Clarence E. says his parents were Clarence Cohansey Mulford and Minnie Grace Kline.[WorldConnect Project shows a child by the name Clarence Cohansey Mulford born 1855, died 1856 in Cumberland Co NJ.]

Clarence C. Mulford m Minnie Grace Kline in 1881 in LaSalle Co IL. He is quite likely the Clarence Mulford who died in 1910 in NY at age 51, reportedly b Cairo IL.Pine Grove Cem, Fryeburg, Maine, shows burials for Clarence C. Mulford (1858-1910) and Minnie G. Mulford (1861-1943).Clarence E. Mulford also buried there.

Clarence, age 10, appears in the household of Harry and Carrie Mulford in the 1870 census of Christian Co IL.
Chauncy C. Mulford appears as a 1-year-old in the household of Harry and Caroline Mulford in the 1860 census of Woodford Co IL.

Hitchner in 1857 in Fulton Co IL.Henry, a plaster mason, was born in New Jersey in Nov 1837 and died in 1928.Caroline was born in New Jersey in Jun 1837.They appear in the 1900 census in Streator, LaSalle Co IL.Both are buried in Riverview Cem, Streator.The name Caroline Hitchner appears twice in 1850 Cumberland Co NJ; not found outside NJ in Ancestry.com's 1850 index.

Cannot locate Henry in the 1850 census.He might be listed as "Howell" Mulford, son of Gustavus Mulford, in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co OH, in 1850."Howell" had a brother named Clarence.Cannot locate this family in 1860.
