note
"Elizabeth Jr.," 37, in his household in 1860, read as a second wife.

A trader in Livingston County, Missouri, in 1850, with Delila and four sons (Henry C., born Indiana about 1835; Mortimer; John M.; and a baby). By 1860 a hotel keeper in Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska, with $1,000 in real estate and $2,000 in personal property. His grandson Orlando Hines "Ora" Clifford was named for him.

Open questions

  • When did he die? A family note has it that he died about two years before his grandson Orlando was born, so about 1871; not yet sourced. Nebraska death or probate records.
  • Is the 1860 hotel keeper of 48 the trader of 55 in 1850? The ages don't agree.
