John Francis Hamtramck Claiborne

John Francis Hamtramck Claiborne (April 24, 1809 – May 17, 1884) was a member of the U. S. House of Representatives from Mississippi.

Claiborne presented credentials as a member-elect to the Twenty-fifth Congress and served from July 18, 1837, until February 5, 1838, when the seat was declared vacant as the result of a contested election.

In 1842, Claiborne served as a commissioner on the Choctaws Claim Commission which was set up to disperse land after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.

Gwin and Halsey planned to give Claiborne 32,000 acres of Choctaw lands to cover their debts.

The land deal was never completed and due to a public feud, Claiborne was removed from the commission.
