Research Notes

See Claywell-12. There is still confusion about Shadrack Claywell Jr. Is the man in Claywell-12 a son of the man in this profile or some other? Whose wife was Amelia Rush? There needs to be clarification and a reliable source for this, and if the above statement is incorrect, it needs to be disproved and removed.
