I was wondering if anyone has information on Indiana Clayton from VA. Her parents were Edward Clayton and Eliza (Brown) (?) they were listed in the census of 1850 as living in Brunswick Co.
Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tammy
I should have said this is Augustine CLAYTON born 1755 SC, married Katy
SMITH by/before 1782 SC, moved to Barren Co KY c 1806, later to Warren Co KY
where he died sometime between 26 Dec 1834-26 Jan 1835.

Augustine CLAYTON's SC deeds in chronological order
( First : Augustine sells over 2700 acres 1785-1810! Does anyone have more
records of when he purchased all of this? If any of you have more info on
these/other deeds please let me know and I will update the list.
Unfortunately I have only had access to abstracted deeds in many cases with
very limited info. Thanks!

200A on Cedar Shoals Creek,
