Hello David,

I've found www.surnamenavigator.org is useful for unusual surnames. Clabby
is a surname that crops up in Ireland as you'll find if you use the
navigator. Clabo is French, it seems, but similar sounding names seem to
crop up in Tennessee.

200 years claim that we came from Ireland in early C18th. name been spelled
Clabough, Clabaugh, Cleaughbeaugh, Cleabough, Clanbough, Clabach, Clebach,
Clabhach, Clapbough, Clabo, may be related to Clabau, Clerbeaux, Clabeaux,
Clabault, Clabot, Clabaud lines. David
