(1980 memoir)
Before drifting away from the Clapps, I want it recorded Henry's father was Quartus Pheletus. This is the oddest name I have ever heard, and am spelling it from sound so marked the e long. Quartus Pheletus and my father's grandfather were cousins, I think. If you dig around and find I am off a generation or so, you will have a good idea how my mind works. The Clapps came from New England. And that is where Henry got his wife, Lucretia. ["Philebas" is a Greek name, meaning "loving youth." The Clapp/Parsons relationship is still undetermined.]
