Notes

On October 8, 1813, John Clabaugh enlisted in Captain John Roper's Company of Colonel William Lillard's 2nd Regiment of East Tennessee Volunteers for three months' duty. 'He would be gone for four months. With his Company, he headed southwest into Mississippi Territory under the command of Andrew Jackson. They defeated the Creek Indians in the famous battles of Talladega and Horse Shoe Bend. On February 8, 1814, John was discharged at Knoxville, Tennessee and returned home. About 1816, John and Elizabeth packed up their belongings and with their six children set out with Elizabeth's father and his large family and probably others.' They moved into Alabama Territory and settled on Six Mile Creek in what is now Bibb County.

In 1847 John Clabaugh and Elizabeth moved to East Texas to live near their eldest son Charles. In the 1850 census John and Elizabeth were living near Charles on Larrison Creek in Walker County, Texas. When the Bounty Land Act was passed in 1850 John Clabaugh filed a claim. John Clabaugh died soon after Madison County was formed. In 1855, widow Elizabeth, applied for additional land, but there is no record that she acquired the land.
