Gading- probably Clawiter family relation

Krusi

View of the Clawiter plot.  The Gading plot is immediately to the left and shares the cushion-shaped border stones.  This historian has not found a documented relationship between Mary Gading Clawiter and the other Gading family, but this seems to be clear evidence that they were related.
