Our Clanton Family Thomas Asberry Clanton born 1867 in Grayson, Crittenden County, Arkansas and wife, Malissa Ann Schrimpsher, born 1874 Children: Delbert, Vada, Virgil, Fred, Paul DeLoy, and twins Herbert and Hubert.
My mother, Melba, told me that her Grandma Malissa was a fastidious housekeeper, cussed like a sailor and was part Choctaw. I also heard a story about Grandpa Tom "old man Clanton" and his "mail order bride" (not Malissa). When he heard his bride had arrived, he immediately took off to get her, "high-stepping" through his crop straight to the train station. Didn't even bother to unhitch the mule he was plowing with - just left him standing in the field. Apparently, Tom could not get a "respectable" girl to marry him because he was kin to the infamous OK Corral Clanton's. There is some question as to whether we are related to the "OK Corral" Clanton's. I asked Grandma Vada if we were and she said "yes", but did not want to talk about it. Great Aunt Mae, Hubert's wife, denied it and said "of course not". So, if anyone knows for sure, let me know! Anyone who can provide more details and/or accuracy of this information, please contact me.
