Wow, he was a little closer related than I thought. So many of those Claibornes with variations of the same name gets very confusing. The Mississippi Valley line established themselves in Natchez and were probably among the wealthiest in the state. All descending from the General (William C.C. Claiborne's brother) parishes and counties in both states are nemed in their honor. Even the Pointe Coupee bunch were eventually buried in Natchez city cemetery.

Thanks again for all you help and interest,
