General Notes: Husband - Rev. Ralph Clapp

---

He was born in Martinsburg, NY. [HWC 1887, xviii]

He settled in Venango County, PA, in 1846.

He was a Methodist minister of great ability and considerable celebrity. He enjoyed and retained the intimate, unreserved, and warm friendship of Bishop Matthew Simpson, and many other noted and eminent ministers of the Methodist Episcopal church. July 4, 1853, he addressed the citizens of Franklin, Pennsylvania, and then predicted the building of a railroad to the Pacific coast, and though this assertion was then looked upon by many as chimerical and visionary, his prediction was soon after verified by the completion of no less than three railways to that distant coast. In 1854 he was elected a member of the Pennsylvania legislature and served in that office during the session of 1854-55. During the war of the Rebellion he was one of the Union’s most earnest and able advocates and supporters, never flagging in his fidelity to its cause and faith in its complete and satisfactory success. [HVC 1890, 1099]
