In this and the next post are the remaining stones in this cemetery. This surname I found interesting, two spellings for the same name. Claflin and Clafflin. At first I thought the first stone was misspelled by the stone cutter but then there were a few stones with the two different spellings. I am assuming they are the same family, they were buried in the same area. I would love to know why, I am a curious sort but I will probably never know the answer to this.

I have two cousins who are brother and sister. One spells his name 'Hanley' and she spells it 'Hanly.' Fixed spelling for names is a fairly recent doing (recent being 19th century).

Contact me at ron@benson-online.com and I will send you the sections from the Claflin Family Genealogy (1903) which covers these folks. Maybe this will help me figure out a few family history questions. I am pretty sure some of these folks are my ancestors.
