Jeremiah's daughter, Mary marries Daniel Clifford in Van Buren County in 1875. Jeremiah and family was in Missouri in the early 1860's. The Ephraim Clifford family moved to Van Buren County between 1856 and 1860. Perhaps Clifford is related to these Cliffords.

Thomas B Clifford may be the patriarch of the family having died in Village, Van Buren, Iowa at age 90 in 1877 (see Find A Grave: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=clifford&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=14&GScnty=635&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=102453325&df=all&)
