Q:
I'm having some trouble with missing pieces to my husband's family tree, specifically with two of his great-great grandparents.
1.John Haywood Clemens (Aug 1855-1951, husband of Mary Celestia Mason). I assume he's a decendant of James and Sophia Clemens, but I can't find the missing generation(s)....
