1. "Wyoming County, WV Hertiage...", page 95. James Sizemore, age 10, was
listed in household of Henry T. and Anna (Cooke) Clay in the 1860 Wyoming
Co, WV Census. This was a son of Anna's by a prior marriage. This statement
needs research. When Anna Cooke married Henry T. Clay on 25 Oct 1858, she
gave her parents as James and Docia Cooke. She must have been married in the
1850 Census, because she is not listed with her parents.
