I was born in Robertsville,
Ohio to Arthur and Gladys
Clapper.
My grandmother was
Lucinda Jane
Blackledge (
Clapper). Her father was James Franklin William
Blackledge. Her grandmother was Jane Ann
Deveaux (
Blackledge). I know nothing but they came from France, and Jane Ann's father, John Francis
Devaux and Joseph
Robart purchased the property which became Robertsville. John
Devaux had possession of the eastern part of the property, but later traded plus $ for the western end.
If you've heard of Ronald and Todd
Blackledge, father and son football fame, they also came from Jane Ann's line.
I would enjoy any information.
