William Cleveland Clawson, was born on 1 August 1840 in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. He was the son of James Clawson and Mary Holdebrand (Clawson was sometimes spelled Clausen). William married Mary M. Ader on 27 June 1863 in Fox Hill, Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey by the Rev. John R. Willox. It appears there may have been a double wedding with William's brother Daniel Clawson because they were both married on the same day by the same minister. William Clawson has been described as having the following characteristics by different sources as having blue (grey) eyes, brown (gray) hair, 5' 9" (5' 8 1/2") tall and his complexsion has been described as light, fair and rubby. He was a farmer by occupation. William Clawson fought in the Civil War in Company F of the 72nd New York Infantry as a Private and later in Company M, 1st Regitment of the New Jersey Calivery as a Private. During the Civil War he was wounded at the Battle of Fair Oaks (Battle of Seven Pines), Virginia on 25 June 1862 and at the Battle of Farmsville (Battle of High Bridge), Virginia on 7 April 1865 where he was shot off a white horse in battle. William Clawson received a "gunshot at the battle of Farmville, Va on or about April 7, 1865 received a gunshot wound to left foot." One last interesting note on William Clawson is that on his right arm he had a tatoo of a dancing girl and on his left arm the crucifixion. He passed away on 24 July 1906 and is buried in Fairmount, Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. William Clawson and Mary M.
