Since you mentioned it, my gr gr grandfather fought for the Union in the
Civil War.
His name was William Henry Clayton. And that's as far back as I can trace my
Clayton forebears in ole' Virginny. He fought with the USCT (a coloured
regiment).
OK........If you have any info to add, let me know.
Talk to you soon.

Dear Justin,
I'm just about to leave to go out of town. I'll be gone through next
Tuesday. Toward the end of next week I'll try and mail you a package. I have
information on my great grandfather who fought in the civil war....John Wiley
Clayton and possibly some other Claytons.
Catch you later.

I would be very interested in receiving the file on Lambert Clayton's
military service. Its very kind of you to offer. I'm trying to get as much
information on all the various branches of my Clayton tree, and am
particularly interested in those who served in the Revolutionary War, War of
1812 and Civil War. I just feel that a family tree is much more interesting
when the people in it are tied into the events of history.
I would be happy to share my file with you if you are interested.

Thank you,

Dear Justin,
I am also a Clayton relative of Virginia Greene. I have been to the
national archives in Washington and I have copies of everything they had on
Lambert Clayton. In fact, I have quite an extensive file. If you are
interested I will copy and snail mail these items to you. It is too big to
try and email.
I am a descendant of George Clayton (b. 3-1-1796, d. 4-11-1837) and
Elizabeth Bryson (b. 10-25-1807, d. July 24, 1877) both of Buncombe County,
North Carolina.
Good luck on your quest.

All I know about Lambert Clayton's participation in the Revolutionary War is
found in his Pension Application, part of which is below. On his tombstone,
he is given a much longer service, but this states for one year. He died in
1828.
I am currently revising a book that I published a few years ago on the
Descendants of George Clayton, 1723-1786. Unfortunately, it is a very time
consuming task and I have so little time.
Virginia
On this 23rd day of June, 1825, personally appeared in court being a court of
record by the laws of this state, Lambert Clayton resident in said County,
aged sixty four years, who being first duely, according to law doth on his
oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made
the acts of Congress of the 18th March 1818, & the 1st May 1820: that he the
said Lambert Clayton, enlisted for the term of one year, on the twelfth Day
of May in the year 1781, in the State of North Carolina in the company
commanded by captain John G. McKee, in the first regiment commanded by Col
Sumner in the line of the state of North Carolina, on the (blank) continental
establishment; that he continued to serve in said Corps until the 12th day
of May 1782, when he was Discharged from the service at Stono, in the State
of South Carolina:--that he hereby relinquished every claim whatever to a
pension-except the present, that his name is not on the roll of any state,
except the Untied States; that the following are the reason for not making
earlier application for a pension: that he lives in a frontier part of
Buncombe County and was unacquainted with act for sometime after it passed,
and after it was known to him he made a declaration at Buncombe county in
July 1823 and sent it on to War Department and was sent back for want of form.
And in pursuance of the Act of the 1st of May 1820 I do solemnly swear
that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 12th day of March
1818 and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale or in any manner
disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby to diminish
it or to bring myself within the provisions of an act of congress entitled
"An Act to proved for certain person engaged in the land and Naval service of
the United states in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18th day of March
1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me, any property or
securities, contracts or gifts due to me; nor have I any income other than
what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed; & by me subscribed. That
since the 18th of March 1818 no changes have been made in my property.
Clayton
Sworn to and declared on the 23rd day of June 1825
I John Miller, Clerk of Buncombe County court do hereby certify, that it
appears to the satisfaction of the court that the said Lambert Clayton did
serve in the revolutionary War, as stated in the proceeding declaration,
against the common enemy for the term of twelve months under one engagement,
on the Continental Establishment.
Virginia:
Yes, of course, you're right. Guess I overlooked her parents.
Would love to hear about your branch of the family if you would like to swap
files. Do you have any information about Lambert's participation in the
Revolutionary War? What I have on him is pretty sketchy.

Just re-read this. I'm sure that you know that you skipped a generation. It
is:
Samuel Clayton - Sussannah Morris
John Clayton - Mary Sadler
George Clayton - Ann Reed
George Clayton - Sarah
Rachel Clayton - John Falls
I descend through Rachel Clayton Falls brother Lambert Clayton.

OK........lets move this up in time a bit.
Does any Clayton out there have any info or anything to share re: my
grandfather
Raymond Clayton. He lived all of his 81 years in Lynchburg, VA..as did his
forebears for the century preceeding 1977 when he died.
His mother, Rosa, was a well-known seamstress for the illustrious Astor
family during the beginnings of the 20th century. Any info anyone has would
be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim from NYC.
Abraham CLAYTON was christened in Keighley, Yorkshire, ENGLAND Aug 31st 1834
the son of John Clayton and Anne Bedford? he had a brother named William and
possibly another brother named David.
The 1881 census shows both Abraham & William living in Brighton, Sussex and
both were engine fitters.
David CLAYTON was an engineer living in Brighton, Sussex when he married
Ruth EVENDEN in Sussex in April 1855 they had 2 daughters Ruth & Elizabeth
he died about 1862/3 as Ruth married Henry Barlow LONSDALE April 17th 1864
St Johns Parish Church, Fulham, London.
Henry and Ruth had 2 sons and 2 daughters and they lived in Kilburn,
Middlesex, London having moved there when John SAXBY set up his Patent
Railway Signal Works in the area. John Saxby and Henry Lonsdale both worked
for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and I believe that Abraham,
William and David CLAYTON also worked for them.
Henry B Lonsdale died in 1871 of smallpox and I believe that Ruth returned
to Brighton on a regular basis as on 15th October 1898 Ruth & Henry's
daughter Alice Barlow LONSDALE married David Thomas CLAYTON son of Abraham
CLAYTON in Bolton Lancashire. David was an Engine Fitter of 20 Watts St,
Horwich, Lancashire and Alice was a laundress of Brinscall Hall, Brinscall,
Lancashire.
So does anybody have any connection with this line of the CLAYTON family.
Hello,
I moniter the list as the Clayton's are a collateral line to my family. At this time I am transcribing the Lancaster County Census Records and from the 1920 census, White Chapel District the following.--
Dwelling 6 Family 8 Clayton, Robert Head M B 45 born 1875
, Rose Daug. F B 12 1908
, Bert Daug. F B 10 1910
, Lewis Son M B 9 1911
, Mary Daug F B 6 1914
The estate is still on the books at the courthouse and I beleive if my memory is correct the taxes are paid by a resident of New York State , though I can't put my hands on the notes.
I hope this is of help to you

OK......Thanks. I can go back to a George Henry Clayton who was born in
Radford, Va. He was a Coloured veteran of the Civil War. In fact, his name
is enscribed on the low "wall" of the Afro-American Civil War Memorial
monument in NW Washington DC. Most of his forebears were born in and lived
around either Roanoke or Lynchburg. Any info you have regrading this would
be most appreciated.
I think Robert Clayton (William's son) was born in Roanoke as well. Is that
near Radford?? He died in 1901 at the age of only 33 I think.
Keep in touch. Hope to hear from you soon.
Tim
Tim,
My notes indicate that one Richard Clayton (col) married Hannah
Richards (col) on 8 June 1797 in
Richmond Co., GA. I believe my findings indicate that these were "free"
blacks at the time. I had originally thought that these records were in
the Richmond Co., VA records, but my notes indicate it to be GA. I could
have made a "typo" and put GA rather than VA. There were Clayton
families in both counties at that time, and they were slave owners.
Joe
Hi Marty. I've ordered a few books and a CD that I am hoping will give me at least an idea of names of some ships that might have come out of Liverpool during that period. I'll keep you informed if I find out anything at all.
Amy
Amy, Not all ship records and manifests were kept on file. The colonies
were still a part of England and treated as such. There was no immigration,
customs or other requirements. I have come across the same problem trying
to find out what ship my 8th great grandfather Richard Fenimore arrived on
@1676. If you need help researching leads just let me know as we both
descend from Thomas Claton.
I have forwarded the information you sent to my family. All are pleased
with the additional biographical information you provided and that most of
the family records matched exactly after the family branched so many years
ago. For once it is great to see that family"lore" did not alter the facts
too much.

Joe, I just don't know where to begin. All I know is that Thomas Claton
came from Manchester, born in 1748 and the family history says simply that
he came to New Jersey, and there he married in 1765. I have the lineage
from there on to the present, now I'd like to trace him backwards. I'd like
to know what ship he came on, if he came with anybody else (family history
says he may have come over with some brothers). However, family history
does not record any clues whatsoever as to who his parents were or any
information about him before he arrived in Monmouth, New Jersey. I've been
looking on all the ship's list sites and there just isn't very much
information for ships coming to America during that period (I've chosen to
stick to the year of 1764 as a guess at the time he came over, since he
married in 1765). I'd love to find out more about the line in Manchester,
but I just don't know how to go about it. If you can give me any ideas for
searching, I'd really apprecia!
te it.

Mr. Clayton,
I do not, or, I am not aware of any Claytons on the Mayflower,
and I refer to the original trip in 1620.
My William Clayton, sr, was first known in the Virginia Colony in 1651,
and has been traced up the line from there, through paperwork in the
Colonial Court systems. He was known as a tobacco trader, and he did do
business in both Virginia and Maryland, as in 1664/65, he appointed his
wife, Hannah, to collect debts for him in Virginia and Maryland. From
court papers, it appears that she did do this. After William, sr., died
in about 1666/67 apparently Hannah continued to collect debts of his, in
courts, even up into the late 1680's.
Hannah remarried after her children had all married. I designate William
Clayton, with the small "sr" as my way of saying that the courts gave him
this designation when they referred to him in papers that seperated him
from his son, whom I have designated as William, jr., who died in 1705 in
Richmond Co., VA. From all my readings and tracings, it appears to me
that this William probably came from the area around Liverpool,
England. In Liverpool, there are two Claytons there who are tobacco
traders in Virginia, and both were in business in Liverpool from about
1630 to after 1700. The other Clayton was a Thomas Clayton. The
information I found on this Thomas, traced this family back to about 1500
in England - none of which I copied down. William Clayton in Liverpool
was also Lord Mayor of Liverpool on two occasions, the last time he died
in office in 1714. Our family had many Thomas Claytons in it, but, there
are many families of Thomas Claytons in Virginia around 1700.
In the era of about 1661, there was a William Clayton, Sr., who
came to this country with the group that was headed by William Penn, to
settle Maryland. They arrived on the galley, Kent. This William Clayton
did settle in Prince Anne Co., Maryland, where he remained until he died.
His wife was named
Prudence. His son, William Clayton, Jr., settled in Arundel Co. (?)
Maryland, where he remained until he died many years later. His Will
also named his children. I don't know where this group came from, but, I
am sure that information on them can be found on the Internet. Also,
people monitoring this web site will have some say on this, also.
We believe we may have received a virus in the mail this morning.
It was entitled MEMO FROM
GOD and was sent directly to my address, from a "jerry wiseman". We
deleted it before opening it, and checked our hard drive for a virus -
and there were none. BE careful.......................
