I have a question now - who is the Roseann on the 1870 census? Was
this Elijah married twice?

and, on 8 Apr 1668
Jeremia Cleaton is given 12 acres of land for transporting two persons,
in New Kent Co., VA.
We know from later records that he moved to another county at a later
date. The above material can
be found in CALALIERS AND PIONEERS, by Nell Marion Nuggent, Abstracts of

There are/were many ways to spell CLAYTON in the early years.
I'm sure the clerks always
spelled it like the individuals pronounced the name. Therefore, a man
who spoke with a "cockney"
accent, is going to sound different from a man who, for instance, came
from Scotland or Ireland, or
England. I think I have seen CLAYTON spelled at least eight different
ways, after I had researched
the name CLAUGHTON. And, a lot of times, I believe it was the way that
the transcriber read the
name. If you have ever read much of the Colonial Abstracts, you will
understand what I mean. In
some instances, where two different transcribers have read the same
Colonial instrument, there have
been different spellings on the same name - Claughton/Clayton is a good
example.
I have heard of the name of James G. W. Clayton, but cannot
remember where it was that I saw
it. That may have been in some of the documents from the 1700's in VA,
but, I won't say for sure.
I will keep this in mind when I will do further researching.
Joe
I am curious about the relationship between the administrators, William
Lambert and wife and James Claughton/Clayton. We have the name Lambert
Clayton used many times over in our family. Was their a family connection
with the Lamberts that you know about? I am related to the Clayton family
from western North Carolina. Thanks for any help.
Margie Clayton Klein
MKlein9182(a)aol.com
William Lambert was married to one of the daughters of James
Claughton/Clayton, as was Edward
Smith. This is according to the records of that time.
I am aware of Lambert Clayton families, but, I do not think that
they are related to this group.
Joe
The name CLAUGHTON is used interchangeably with the name CLAYTON in many
of the Record
books of the early counties of Virginia. This is found especially in the
Records of Northumberland Co., VA.
It is also noted in the RE-CONSTRUCTED CENSUS OF VIRGINIA in 1760, and it
is also noted to be such where James and John Claughton are recorded. I
have found the name of James Clayton and
James Claughton are mentioned as owning the same piece of land. These
records are found in North-umberland County and Rappahannock County
Records of the late 1600's and early 1700's.
Here is an interesting note for you, as found in VIRGINIA
COLONIAL ABSTRACTS - Vol I,
by Beverly Fleet.
James Claughton died in 1647 in Northumberland Co., VA. His
estate exors were set by the
court. Found on page 370 of the above.
In Vol. I, pg 369, James Claughton was adjudged to be 23 years of
age by the court, on 20 Sep
1652. This is found in the Northumberland County Records, Book 14, pg 5.
On page 512, it is noted that James Claughton's wife is named
Joane Claughton. 12 Feb 1679.
This James Claughton may have been the one that died in 1698, but,
another James Claughton can be
found at a later date. And, even after that, yet another line of James
Claytons winds up in Spartanburg,
SC where James Clayton is married to Mary Farrow. The name, James
Clayton, continues after that,
also.
To me, this means that the original James Claughton/Clayton came
from England, and was born
about 1600, or thereabouts. The James Claughton/Clayton was born about
1629, but, it is unknown
if he was born in England, or Virginia. This last one appears to be the
one that died in 1697/98.
In Vol II, pg 270, of the years 1646 to 1648, the administraters
of the estate of James Clayton,
dec'd are named. This is in the Records of York County, VA, yet it is
the same James Claughton
mentioned in Vol I of this series by Beverly Fleet.
On pg 487, James Claughton/Clayton was granted 500 acres of land
by Ann Bradshaw on
5 Jun 1658, and on 28 Jun 1664, there is another transcription about the
same land and same people.
In the Book VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS of Northumberland County
- 1678 to 1713,
by Lindsay O. Duvall. The estate of James Claughton/Clayton is to be
administered by John Claughton/
Clayton, whose wife was Ann Pemberton, daughter of Richard Pemberton.
The wives of William
Lambert, and Edward Symth (Smith) were the children of James
Claughton/Clayton. 20 Jul 1698
This probably explains why, and who, John Clayton was in the sale
of land noted in 1702 Records
of Richmond Co., VA. One John Turberville filed suit on the
administrators of the Estate of James
Claughton/Clayton. Richard Smith and his wife, Middleton
Claughton/Clayton, William Lambert,
and wife, and Edward Smith, on 20 Jan 1700 in Northumberland County. Pp
69, 70.
John Claughton/Clayton had son, Pemberton Claughton, who died
about 1714. Pemberton
Claughton/Clayton widow dies before 1716, and John, grandfather files for
guardianship of infant
Pemberton Claughton/Clayton. VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, pp 512, 513.
The name Pemberton Clayton is found in the 1760's and 1770's in Virginia
Records.
Based on what I have seen of the records so far, I cannot say,
for sure, who the father of William
Clayton, born about 1630/1640, was. It is a small possibility that his
father was James Claughton/
Clayton, who died in 1647 in Northumberland County, VA. In the book, and
other publications,
VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, by Lindsay O. Duvall, you will note that
William Clayton
was transported on 25 March 1651 in Northumberland County, VA. This is
found on page 212 of the
above, and in other publications of Records of that time. I believe that
this one is probably the son of
James Claughton/Clayton, who was born about 1600, and who died in 1647.
There is a strong
possibility that this is our William Clayton, when you really think about
it. James Claughton/Clayton
lived around, or in the vicinity of one another for at least 50 years,
or, until the senior William died about
1680, but the son was around until 1705. John Claughton/Clayton also
lived in the same vicinity, and
we know for sure that he was the son of James Claughton/Clayton, who died
in 1697/98, and whose
grandfather, James Claughton/Clayton died in 1647. All this is based on
records that are available.
I cannot say much about Thomas Clayton, as I have not finished
with the Records at this time.
But, he also lived in the area of James and William Clayton. The bit
about Thomas Claytor , 23 Jul 1718
grandson Thomas, son of William Clayton, son Thomas, and my wife
Katherine as exors, really intrigues
me. This is found in Book VI, of Westmoreland Co., VA, by William
Crozier.

I had promised someone out there that I would look up Jeremiah
Clayton. While this isn't the "whole
ball of wax", it will tell you where to look for the information. Hope
it helps. Jeremy Clayton can also be
found in these books, but, at an earlier date.

Frances Huell Clayton, b. 1803 in Lexington, KY, married to Elizabeth
Bourland 1825 in Calloway Co., KY and died in Sangamon Co., IL in 1866.
Are they any connections to any Clayton in Person, Henderson or Hopkins
Counties, NC?
I seem to think there must be some, somewhere. Where did I get the idea?

There was a Charles Gavin Clayton born in 1808 in Orangeburgh District, son
of William Clayton and Mary Gavin. The Orangeburgh Claytons and the Pickens
Claytons were not related as far as I know. The Orangeburgh Claytons first
appear there in 1740s from parts unknown (before Orangeburgh).

Surname: Clayton, Parham, Donnell
-------------------------
Cynthia Rosetta maiden-name-unknown married a Parham. Their daughter, whose
name may have been Effie May, married a Clayton from Baltimore, and *their*
daughter, Thelma Lee Clayton was born in Spartanburg SC in 1900. I'm trying
to find Thelma's ancestors, with very little to go on. I don't know whether
to look in Maryland or South Carolina for the Parhams, whether the Claytons
were already married when they came to Spartanburg, or Clayton met his
Parham wife there. Parham and Clayton are both common names in that area,
but my informant is sure that Mr. Clayton came from Baltimore originally.
Any help appreciated.

The name 'Goins' is quite common here in south-central Virginia, not in
connection with Clayton's, particularly, but as a widely-found last name. I
don't know whether that suggests a Clayton connection or not, but I suppose
it's possible. I can do some local inquiries and find out whether there
were Claytons in the Patrick County region during the 1800's. We have an
excellent local history museum and many well-informed family historians.

Bill,
I haven't seen this one, that I remember. Nor, do I have it on
my marriage lists of Claytons. With
that late a date, there should be someone out there with some info on
this one. I will monitor for you and
if I see anything, I'll put it on here for you.
Joe
Yes, I have seen Gowen (Gowin) Clayton several times, but, most
of those mentions have been in
the Spartanburg area of SC. If your library has books, (genealogy dept)
on deeds, court orders, and the
general stuff like that of SC, in most likely to find his name in these
books. I MAY have seen this name
mentioned in VA at one time. The name is unusual, and it catches your
attention. This is not my family,
but I do look at all Claytons in SC, especially. If I run across a
great deal of information on it, I will put it
on the list. In the meantime, there is probably someone out there who
has some information.
Joe
