My middle name is Clayton. My father and I were named after my grandmother’s brother Clayton Craig. I never did get to talk to Calvin about his family history due to his early death. I know he said his last name was changed from Mumaw to Moomaw. Who knows why! Calvin also stated that his mother spoke and wrote Dutch.
