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.
