Birth	1 Jun 1900	Central Station, Doddridge Co, WV [1, 2, 3, 4]
	Identified in birth record (a delayed entry filed on Aug 9 1960) as James Minor Clayburn. His WW II draft registration and his son's marriage record identifies him as James Miner Clayburn. In the 1940 Census and on his headstone he is identified as James M. Clayburn. But his 1918 marriage record identifies him as James Cleveland Clayburn, while his 1922 marriage record has no middle name or initial for him at all. We have found no other instance of the middle name Cleveland.
