Henry Loyd Clawson, son of Firman Clawson and Mary Clawson, was born in Detroit, Michigan, on 13 March 1888.^[1]

He is called Waldo Clawson in the 1900 U.S. Census, which recorded 55-year-old Ferman W. Clawson in Royal Oak, Michigan, with wife Mary Clawson, 58, and five unmarried children. Ferman and Mary were natives of New York, with parents born in New York, who had been married 34 years; Mary had had five children, all of them still living. Ferman was described as a doctor; his birth date was recorded as March 1845. Children in the household were daughter Ina, age 25 (born March 1875); daughter Edith, 19 (born August 1880); daughter Edna, 15 (born October 1884); son Waldo, 12 (born March 1888); and daughter Louise, 9 (born August 1890). All of the children were born in Michigan to parents born in New York; all were "at school."^[2]
