Notes for JOSEPH J. CLAYTON:

Joseph J. Clayton went to Oklahoma on horseback with a friend and his friend's daughter. He became friends with the Indians there. The chief indian insisted that the daughter marry one of the indians. During the night, JJ and his friends escaped away and went back to Mississippi. They were out looking for a new place to raise their families.

Later the families took off with a Wagon Train to Oklahoma. They camped along the way. One of the stops was near Aplin, Arkansas. There was a fiddler there entertaining the travelers. "Aunt Edna" (Aunt to MeMe Jones) loved the fiddle and sat near the fiddler. Soon after that she came down with the measles. They had to stop in the area now called Aplin and ended up settling there. They think Aunt Edna got the measles from the fiddler, but no one really knows.
