Here is some Claxton research done by another Claxton researcher. Perhaps it will help. Briston is in the County of Norfolk. My husband is descended from John Langwade Claxton, who immigrated to the US (Georgetown, DC) about 1816.

The Claxtons I couldn't find a home for were:
Thomas Laxton (I bet it's Claxton) m. 26 Oct 1707 Briston, Sarah Smith (I'm thinking these might be Gregory Sr.'s parents but can't prove it).
Thomas Claxton m. 30 May 1719 Briston, Alice Jackson (also spelled Jaxon in someone else's entry) (Maybe a second marriage for Thomas after Sarah
dies?)
Thomas Claxton bur. 6 Mar 1733 Briston
Mrs. Claxton bur. 15 Jul 1753 Briston (probably Alice)
