My branch of the Clatterbuck family descend from Reuben Clatterbuck who removed to Callaway County, Missouri about 1826. The majority of Clatterbuck's in the United States descend from his cousin, William P. Clatterbuck who stayed and populated Virginia. When you have the name Clatterbuck, there is a certain curiosity about "where did I come from". I did not meet another Clatterbuck outside of my immediate family until I was in college. Imagine my surprise in finding that there are Clatterbucks throughout the United States. Presently there are some 300 listings in the phone book. Needless to say it is not a common name. I figured we all must be related some way or another! Just to keep things interesting, there are also several spelling variations in different branches: Clatterbaugh, Claterbaugh, and Clutterbuck. Once I had researched my Callaway Cousins, it seemed natural to wander off into the Virginia branches. There are plenty of other Clatterbuck researchers who have explored those branches of the family, and I am sure because of their closer connections, have better information than I. I enjoy the puzzle of putting all the branches together and hope you will too.

This site is dedicated to my Grandpa Clatterbuck, who taught me about the importance of family and the joy of family history and the pride in being a "Callaway Clatterbuck."
