Some men who brought the surname "Clapp" to America include: Captain Roger Clapp, who came to the New World on the ship ''Mary and John'', which landed at Nantasket (now Hull, Massachusetts), on May 30, 1630. He helped establish the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts, soon afterward. He worked for many years in important positions for the town and in the military organization, including a long period as commandant of Castle Island. Deacon Edward Clapp, an older brother of Roger, arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1633.

Edward was married to Prudence, and their son Nehemiah married Sarah Leavitt, daughter of John Leavitt, one of the first settlers of Dorchester and later of Hingham, Massachusetts. Nehemiah Clapp lived in Hing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
