DearBrickChurch family:
Here is some more information on the Clapps and Whitemans who migrated to Clark Co, IN. My information is on the first three generation down from Valentine Clapp, son of John Phillip Clapp, and Maria Rogers. At the end of this, I’ve also listed the first three generations of Mathias Weidemann (Whiteman) to show how much of that clan intermarried with the Clapp, Cortner, Amick and Albright families in Clark Co, IN.
Thanks for indulging me,
Sid Hall

He served in the Revolutionary War in Guilford Co., NC. Affadavit of George Valentine Fifer: That he fought under General Gates at his defeat and was in the Army in South Carolina before and also fought under General Green in Guilford Co. North Carolina. Witness new both parties when he was a boy and before and after their marriage. Witness further states that Mathias Whiteman was at the battle when ???? was killed and was in the company that took the baggage wagons and was hotly pursued by the British Army. Witness states that he resided in the neighborhood of the parties during the Revolutionary War though a boy at the time and until the death of Mathias Whiteman and came to this state with the widow and family afterward and have lived neighbors ever since. Witness also states that when the American Army retreated to a river, hotly pursued by the British army, that Mathias Whiteman carried one of his fellow soldiers, who was very large and could not swim, across the river safely on his back together with their guns and knapsacks, while many of the Americans were shot in the river. These facts he learned from the soldiers soon after the battle. He also states that he saw Whiteman going and returning from the Army and that he had the name of a noble soldier that is he saw said Whiteman in the ranks when mustered into service and met them (the army) as he returned on two if not on three occasions, Said Whiteman was in the service during mainly the whole of the war but he usually served six month tours.
