Maria Miller's hypothesis is very interesting - I'll have to get her book!
As a descendant of Nathaniel, 1672-1714, you are fortunate to have such an excellent genealogy published in Appendix II, the 1894 second edition of Rebecca Graff's work. I'm very interested in the "Maryland' lines that descend from your ancestor James (1704-1765) - which of his 3 wives is your ancestor?

In the book "Betsy Ross and the making of America" the author states that in John's memorandum book he had these names in case he had the opportunity to escape the Old Mill Prison in Plymouth, England. He thought this man might be related and the others might be willing to help him if he did escape. He was relased when the law changed his status as prisoner of war instead of being convicted of treason and never had to use these names. We all know the original spelling to be Cleypole so if he thought he might be relation then we should probably think so too. His father was William and William was a bro to James, my line. William and James' grandfather was James the emigrant. My email address is jrneath(a)frontier.com

John Claypoole, 1752-1817, of Philadelphia, initially served in the U.S. Army during the Revolutionary War. Later in the war, he shipped out on the 'Luzerne', a U.S. privateer. In the 2nd half of 1781, the ship and its crew were captured by a British privateer and John became a POW in Mill prison, Plymouth, Devon, England. Before and during his captivity, he kept a 'memorandum book' and in the back of that book, he wrote a number of addresses including "Benjamin West, Newman S...treet, London" (BW was the celebrated artist/painter, born at Swarthmore, Pa) and "Haslam and Cleypole, cyder merchants and Fruiterers No. 75 upper Thames Street, London". Until 1787, a Benjamin Cleypole was a partner in Haslam & Cleypole and later married Ann Haslam on May 28, 1789, at Spitalfields Christ Church, Stepney, London.
The John Claypoole in question became the 3rd husband of Elizabeth Griscom Ross Ashburn Claypoole, aka 'Betsy Ross'.
The $64,000 question is: what was the familial relationship, if any, between John Claypoole of Philadelphia, Pa and Benjamin Cleypole of London, England? Has anyone done research into a possible link between these individuals?
