Subject: !!!NEW UPDATE - IGI Search Facility now includes USA!!!
Dear Listers -
I am so pleased to be able to announce this news. An incredible thing has
happened for those searching for kindred connections in the USA. Our
terrifically wonderful Hugh Wallis has done it again!!! Yes, you can now
search the IGI by town, county and state with only a surname... What was
done for the UK has graciously been extended to US records by harnessing
the information so lovingly put together by the LDS.
Use this new search feature here:

Hugh, we salute you! Your philanthropic work is a gift we appreciate.
Best wishes to all,

The Henry Clay that is the son of Mitchell Clay, Jr. married Honor Clay and
died in Boyd Co., Ky. which was previously in Lawrence Co., Ky. He was born
in 1807 and died in 1869. They moved here from the Giles Co., (Raliegh Co.,)
Va (WV) areas.
His brother Bartley who married Nancy Prince, also lived in that area of
Kentucky.
Marlene (descendant of Henry and Honor Clay)
Don, Is the Henry J. Clay that you are referring to the father of Hiram? If
so I am fairly certain his father is Mitchell Clay, Jr. , the son of Mitchell
Clay from Clover Bottom. By chance do you live in Maryland?
Tim Clay
Hello,
I'm looking for info on Marston Grenville Clay.Born ca. 1772 to Marston
Clay and Elizabeth Williams. Marston the elder was born 1-4 1749 in
Cumberland County Va. I am trying to ascertain if the younger Marston is the
father of Henry J. Clay 1810-1890 who lived in Pike County Kentucky and
Wyoming County West Virginia.
Thanks
Don L. Clay
Hi Ned, remember Steve Smith in Williamsburg? Some of the work that he has
done on John led him to believe that John was in Holland at some point before
arriving here, i.e., the grenadier, being a soldier, Dale had come here from
Holland where England was waging war. Nothing definite, just a possibility.
Something else that really could stand looking into. gynger cook
Do you perhaps have any "ten Cley" of "ten Kley" or "ten Clay" during your ancestor research ?

Roel, I am sorry, but do not have anything on the ten Clay, ten Kley or ten
Klei, names that I can find off hand, but I will dig deeper and see if there
is anything and will get back with you if I can find something, is the name
Dutch?
There is a possibility that John Clay who arrived at Jamestown in 1612, may
have been in Holland prior to coming to America, I really would like to find
out if he actually was. He may have been there with Govenor Dale prior to
1611. gynger cook
Perhaps if we ever discover the last name of Ann, we will be able to find out
if John did marry her in England or if he married her here in America. To my
knowledge there has never been a reference to a James as one of John's
children, so I can't give that theory much credence.
What I do not understand is if James did survive why he would not have been
allotted any land. Was there an age listed for him? In 1619 England was
sending orphans to the colonies, could he have been one of the young boys
arriving? William Nichols, John Clay's servant arrived on the Duty in May of
1619, he was 16, and I believe William was one of the orphans sent to
Virginia, possibly under the sponsorship of John Clay. If James came under
the same type of sponsorship, it is possible that land was not set aside for
them. There are a million things we could guess, but will not know unless we
spend more time researching and sharing our work. We may have one piece of
the puzzle and someone else has another piece that we missed, eventually we
will be able to get the pieces all together, time will tell. Gynger Cook
Hi,
Many thanks for your reply. Interesting scenario - James and John being
close. Perhaps, John's wife took so long to come over because children too
young. Perhaps, James came of age to be able to do his own thing and decided
to join his father ? One of these days - hopefully, I can get some time to
go to the Public Records Office in Kew which is just down the road and do
some digging.
Charlie
Hi Charlie, you have brought a couple of interesting points up that have
brought James close to John, in the ships manifest that I have seen James
last name is spelled Clay, Yardley was a neighbor of our (?) John Clay, and
the Margaret was the ship that arrived at Berkeley after a long and hard
winter voyage, leaving from Bristol.
These 35 men celebrated the first documented Thanksgiving on our shores,
giving many thanks for a safe arrival after such a treacherous voyage. This
ship landed up river from Jamestown, near Charles City County, in fact
Yardley signed the paper in Charles City, so I imagine that some of them men
on board departed the ship at Charles City Co., mainly Berkely Plantation,
and others may have been transported back to Jamestown. If this James Clay in
fact stayed in the Charles City area, he would have missed the horrible fates
of those in the Jamestown areas.
Just a few notes, maybe someone else can add more to the fate of this James
Clay. Gynger Cook
Sorry Gynger - I said John CLEY had 3 years indenture - should read James
CLEY.
I had John on my mind while typing - thinking that he arrived in 1613 but his
wife Ann didn't come over until, I think, 10 years later. Charlie.
Hi Gynger,
I suppose the main reason for bringing up his name, which is actually
spelled CLEY on the passenger list and listed as a joiner, is that I had not
seen his name mentioned before and was wondering if anyone had done any
research to see if he survived the Indian massacre of, I think, 1622.
We know he made it to James Town due to the certificate sent by Sir George
YARDLEY back to London that the thiryfive persons on the Margaret arrived at
James Town all in safety and perfect health. However, in a later list
written by John SMITH, he listed for all the company of men their years of
indenture and how many acres of land each one was to get after their
indenture. John CLEY had 3 years indenture but, for some reason, 0 acres.
He was also listed as dead. However, almost all were listed as dead which
makes me think that John SMITH, who was the historian for Baronet Richand
BERKLEY, added the dead comment many years later. John SMITH lived until
1641.
So, I just found it interesting that this James CLEY/CLAY hasn't been
brought up before.
All the best
Charlie
Hi Charlie, do you have anything that might show that there is any chance
that a James Clay might be the ancestor, or even reason to put that option on
the table? I think that it would be an interesting challenge. Gynger Cook
Does anyone have the descendents of this James CLAY? Could he be the real
forebear of the CLAYS??
Arrived from Bristoll (Bristol) at James Town, Virginia on 4 December 1619 on
the good ship MARGERET.
All the best
Charlie Campbell
Thanks for the help-I will get on those web sites right now! Pat

There were several Henrys per generation - it was a very popular name in
the family.
