Biography

Madison was born in 1861.He was the son of Levi Claypoole and Elizabeth Grafton.^[1] The two apparently never married as she is known by the surname Grafton in later census records and no evidence of a mariage or divorce has been found.^[2] He passed away in 1936.

He married Anna May Bonner in 1894. The Application for Marriage record indicates on the Parent names-man line "Levi & Claypoole" with the mother's name being written over with Claypoole. The name that was written over appears to start with and E as in Elizabeth.^[3] Perhaps the groom was not on good terms with his mother. Perhaps this was due to Madison being born out of wedlock.
