     John George Clippinger was born on 21 September 1783 at Northampton Co., PA. He was the son of Johann Anthony Kleppinger and Anna Margaretha Heckman. John George Clippinger married Susannah Haller. John George Clippinger died on 22 June 1869 at Lima, Allen Co., OH, at age 85.

     John H. Clippinger was born on 24 July 1819 at Shippensburg, Cumberland Co., PA. He was the son of Anthony Clippinger and Christiann Hainz. John H. Clippinger married Julia Ann Carey. John H. Clippinger lived in 1850 at Shippensburg, Cumberland Co., PA, Merchant. There is conflicting information regarding the timing of John Clippinger's relocation to Delaware, Ohio. Cemetery records and Findagrave.com memorials indicate burials at Oak Grove Cemetery, Delaware, Ohio as early as 1845 for sons Carey and Davie Clippinger. However, the 1850 federal census clearly lists this family at Shippensburg, and the birthplace of Charles, William, and David as Pennsylvania. It is possible, if unlikely, that there was some cause of a brief relocation from Delaware back to Shippensburg before the 1850 census. I believe the better explanation lies in the inscriptions for children Carey and Davie on the large Clippinger monument: "Children of J. H. and J. A. Clippinger". These inscriptions appear of a more recent origin than the 1840s, and probably were included on the Clippinger monument contemporaneously with, or sometime after the death of the parents at Delaware.

Note: Joseph Anthony Clippinger was a lay minister in the Methodist Church, and preached strong sermans from the pulpit against his father's allegedly abusive use of alcohol. As a result of this public criticism, the family relationships were very poor, and the grandchildren were seldom allowed to visit the grandparents. A story told by Joseph Granville Clippinger (1873 - 1947) was that he had a single visit with his grandparents at age 6 (about 1880), and they were introduced to him as an uncle and aunt. Elizabeth, described as "brown as a berry", brought a plate of bread chunks and milk to Joseph, who then stamped his feet on the wooden floor. A pair of blacksnakes then came up through the floorboards, crawled onto his lap, and ate the bread and milk. This story was repeated to Donald L. Boyd in 2013 by a granddaughter of Joseph G. Clippinger.
