Notes:

Married:
He is listed in the 1860 census of Sabine Parish, married with children. After 1860, he is no longer located in Parish records. He married 10 Laura Alford, daughter of Julius C. and Elizabeth Alford (see dwelling 29 of this census) March 14, 1852 in Sabine Parish. They had one child, Laura J. Waldroup born ca 1852. The mother Laura Alford Waldroup died sometime between 1852 and 1857 when Claiborne married a sister of Laura, Frances Alford December 10, 1857. It is the second wife that he is listed with in the 1860 cneus. The first child may have died prior to 1860, as she is not listed with the family in 1860. Claiborne had 3 more children with his first wife. She is listed in the 1870 census as Head of Household with children, Sarah L. and Samuel. Beyond the 1870 census I can find not further records for this family. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, p 38).

Claiborne married Francis Alford on 10 Dec 1857 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. Francis (daughter of Julius Alford and Elizabeth Waddell) was born about 1840 in Louisiana; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Kathy Casagrande writes that Claiborne Waldroup was born Claiborne Parrish Waldrop 1-11-1792 in South Carolina. Claiborne is the son of Hezekiah Waldrop born circa 1772 and Martha Davenport. Hezekiah Waldrop was the child of John Waldrop b. circa 1732 in Hanover Co., VA and Tabitha Parrish. This family can be traced further back to Michael Waldrop b. circa 1680 in VA. The father of Claiborne Waldroup died in MS after 1850 in possibly Holmes County. Paula Jones, a family researcher, states that Claiborne Parrish Waldrop always spelled his name as WALDROP.

No listings for Waldrop or any spelling variation in the Sabine Parish cemetery records.

The History of Sabine Parish, Louisiana (author John Belisle, The Sabine Banner Press, 1912) states that "in 1860 the white population of Sabine Parish numbers about four thousant, and there were less than two thousand slaves. There were few really wealthy people in the parish, and many owned not more than one of two slaves. the owners of six or more in 1861 included C. P. Waldrup.
