Bruce, I am so grateful to you for this information from James Bellarts
that I had never seen before. I will certainly be trying to get a
copy of this book.
I am surprised, since at least 3 of the sons fought in the Revolution
and later became Methodists, there is a Quaker record from 1895
about them in WV, but that does sound authoritative.
Thanks again so much for helping me on this, as I had thought that
I would never be able to get any clarification on their parents.

Elisha et al. seem to have had a hard time in the world of genealogy,
where unproven lineages have been repeated as though gospel.
For this family, Bell is not helpful. His 1988 Study has Elisha &
brothers as sons of a Thomas Clayton (?c1735-?c1785). He then says
"names of children and parents are only a CONJECTURE." So I
think what Bell says can be discarded for lack of evidence. Likewise
, Bell's 1983 Some New Jersey Families can't help us.
James Bellarts' The Descent of Some of our Quaker Ancestors... (1991)
is more useful. He quotes a minute from the Morgantown, W. Va.,
Monthly Meeting in 1895. Here are some relevant excerpts.
"Little Clayton, son of Elisha and Elizabeth...died yesterday... He
will be buried on land that his grandfather David C Clayton of
Monmouth Co., N.J., once owned by right of a treasury warrant. ...
His father and uncle Elijah Clayton settled out of New Jersey, first
in what is now Fayette Co., Pa.... Their father never settled or
lived here. He returned to New Jersey.
Elisha, Elijah, and Noah were brothers. This comes from several
pension applications or affidavits. Both Noah and Elijah made
dispositions in 1832 that name Elisha as their brother.
Bellarts also cites the will of William Clayton of {Philadelphia
(c1705-1758) (whose wife was Mary Martin) which names David C. as his
son; and also cites the marriage record of David C and Sarah Carter
(in Philadelphia).
So, the line seems to be:
Elisha Clayton (1757-1845),
son of
David C Clayton (1728 - ) & Sarah Carter
son of
William Clayton (c1705-1758) & Mary Martin
Unless there is some newer evidence to the contrary, I think this
should be accepted (thanks to Belarts) as the correct lineage.
What makes this family really confusing is that David C. Clayton was
born in Pennsylvania, then moved EAST to Monmouth Co., New Jersey,
where there was already a large extended Clayton family that was not
related to him at all! I know I am so used to thinking of people
moving west, that when someone like David C Clayton moves east, if
only by a few miles, it doesn't seem right.

Bruce Cogan
Bob, Bruce, Kathryn, Lorraine and ALL Clayton researchers ---
William Hart (1717 - 1799) had moved to current day Fulton Co, PA, by at
least 1760. He lived about 1 mile north of present day Hancock, MD. In
1789 William sold some land to one of his sons and his wife "Jane"
concurred. This much I DO know about my William & Jane.
In searching for Mrs. Hart, I have to take into account that he had 4
children between 1749 and 1756. He may have already been in his south
Fulton county location by then and 1756 many early settlers were killed
in Indian raids. Marriage records show a William Hart (of PA) marrying a
Jane Clayton in 1759. Then, between 1760 and 1769, my William had three
more children.
Conjecture suggests William had a first wife that died about the time of
the Indian raids (in a raid, in childbirth, illness???) and with 4 small
children he sought out a new wife and met & married Jane Clayton in 1759;
then promptly added several more children.
There is no hard evidence that my Jane was a Clayton, but the scant bit
of evidence I've found creates circumstances and time frames for events
that would at the least does not rule out Jane Clayton. Can anybody help
me out here???
Thanks very much, Mike Thorne mhthorne(a)juno.com

Excellent explanation, as usual, Bruce.
I wish I could find the Zephaniah CLAYTON line in all the CLAYTON mix in
NJ & PA. Bell & Bellarts are not very helpful there. Again, only conjecture
seems to be available.

Bruce, I meant to get this reply sent sooner, but I am always very interested
to find messages on the Monmouth Co., NJ Claytons.
My father's family descends from the twin Elisha Clayton, born in 1757
in Freehold Township, Monmouth Co., who, after the Revolution,
migrated with his first wife, Elizabeth King, who died on the trip,
to Monongalia and Marion Counties, VA, now WV.
I descend from his second wife, Elizabeth Little, whom he married
later on the trip in 1793 fifteen miles from Cumberland, Allegany Co., MD.
I have Raymond Martin Bell's 1988 Clayton study, but he seems to waver
about the parentage of Elisha and Elijah Clayton and their brothers
Noah and Job D. and probably sister Euphemia.
In the chart on pii of his 1988 _Study of the Claytons of Monmouth County,
New Jersey_, though he points out that it was speculation on his part,
he placed them as the sons of Thomas Clayton, whose wife was probably
Elizabeth,
who had a brother John Clayton, the father of John and Asher Clayton.
However, in his 1983 _Some New Jersey Families_, on p9, he had placed them
as the sons of William, possible son of Thomas, son of Zebulon.
Lorraine (MurrayRainy36(a)aol.com), who asked the question below,
sent me information in February 2006 that the twins were sons of Thomas,
son of John and Hannah Compton, son of Zebulon Clayton
and his second wife Elizabeth.
I have found in several places that their parents were David and
Sarah Carter Clayton.
This is what was submitted to the 1985 _A History of Marion County,
West Virginia_,
p126, published by the Marion County Historical Society, Fairmont, WV.
After many years of searching, I haven't been able to find documentation
for them as children of any of these choices of parents.
I will appreciate any clarification anyone has that can help me
straighten this out.
I would really just like to have the answer to this settled.

All this I'm aware of Va.?? But I'm trying to pin down any connection he might've had to or with the state of Virginia.??
And whether or not he was related to the late long-time Harlem, NY Congressman, Reverend?Adam Clayton Powell Jr.??? Charles Rangel's immediate predecessor.
He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery along
with his son Powell Clayton, Jr

Subject: [CLAYTON] Powell Clayton
I have information on Powell Clayton and would be glad to share. He was my
g.g.grandfather's brother - they grew up in Delaware County Pennsylvania
(Bethel Township). My g.g.grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Clayton, became a
judge of Delaware county. He wrote a book called, "Rambles and Reflections"
which contains a family history. His brother Powell had joined the US Army
as an engineer and fought for the Union after the civil war broke out. By
the end of the war he had become a Brig Gen. Powell became the arch-typical
Northern "Carpetbagger" after the war going on first to be governor of
Arkansas and then US Senator from Arkansas. When he died in 1904 he was the
US Ambassador to Mexico. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery along
with his son Powell Clayton, Jr. a West Point Graduate who fought in the
Philippines.

Thank you for this wonderful account of your family. Back to their time in
PA, do
you have records of their having brothers, cousins etc with the names of
William, Phillip,
or Stephen? This family appeared to be Quaker and was in Philadelphia
because of the
Wm Penn grants but later moved on down into VA and descendants moved on to
GA and other places South and West.
Thank you, Gwen Holden Skelton

I have information on Powell Clayton and would be glad to share. He was my
g.g.grandfather's brother - they grew up in Delaware County Pennsylvania
(Bethel Township). My g.g.grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Clayton, became a
judge of Delaware county. He wrote a book called, "Rambles and Reflections"
which contains a family history. His brother Powell had joined the US Army
as an engineer and fought for the Union after the civil war broke out. By
the end of the war he had become a Brig Gen. Powell became the arch-typical
Northern "Carpetbagger" after the war going on first to be governor of
Arkansas and then US Senator from Arkansas. When he died in 1904 he was the
US Ambassador to Mexico. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery along
with his son Powell Clayton, Jr. a West Point Graduate who fought in the
Philippines.
Glad to share any other information to any one with questions.

I am searching for anyone who has information on Claude Clayton from
Atlanta. He had a brother named Joseph and sisters Lula, Nora, and
Ora. There were most likely other siblings in that family but I can't
think of them right now. Claude died around 1970 or so.

Sometimes several (many?) different families live on a plantation, ie:
married daughters and their husbands sometimes continued to live on the main
property.
Overseers and sometimes their families also lived there, as did tutors, etc.

I'll have to look thru everything I have for as clue BUT I did see one thing
here.
The name JASPER is very unusual, ya know kinda like SEWARD and LEMUEL and
such that these Claytons were inclined to do. One of the AKNS or CLAYTONS of
the
very early days had a son named JASPER. Buried in Gilmer Co. I'll have to
find it. Also
I have to check dates on this WM and Thomas.
I can't remember all of the Cumberland counties group untiol I get bak to
the site but
there is Sumter, Washington, Tennessee, Sullivan, Hawkins .......... you can
start there for
now. There again it is a deal of counties dividing and consolidating. G

I am looking for information on the wife and children of John Clayton, Jr.,
Botanist of Gloucester Co. VA from about 1722 until his death.
John Clayton, Jr. was born in Fulham, Middlesex, England in 1694.
Emigrated to Virginia, joining his father John Clayton Sr. who was Attorney
General for the colony of Virginia between 1713 and 1737. John Clayton, Jr. died in
1773.
(More information in the link below).
_http://waddell.ci.manchester.ct.us/g_herbarium-clayton1.html_

Any information on the names of his wife and children, and any other
particulars will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

This lineage has been proposed for Joseph Clayton (1821)
son of, John H. Clayton, 1776-1845 m. Rebecca Johnston, 1782-1863
son of, John Clayton, 1747-1780 m. Catherine
etc.
I think the most reliable source for these families is the 1988
study by Raymond Martin Bell. Bell has:
Joseph Clayton (6 Sept 1821 - 1907); married to Catherine Hannah Ortley:
son of
John Clayton (19 Apr 1774 - 3 Jul 1845, Silverton, NJ) & Rebecca Johnson
son of:
Cornelius Clayton(c1746-c1784) & Catherine Rogers
Cornelius Clayton was the son of David Clayton (c1727 - bef 1804) by
David's first wife Rebecca Thompson (d 1746). (David's 2nd wife was
Rebecca Taylor)
(This is not the David C Clayton (c1728-) who married Sarah Carter.)
David (c1727-<1804) was the son of
David Clayton (c1695 - bef 1748) & Esther Taylor,
and we have returned to the originally proposed line
Son of, David Clayton, 1661-1730 m. Amie Cooke, 1672-1730
This David born in Gleaston, England.
The line can be taken back a few more generations, thanks to the work
of Mary & Matthew Murphy (1988, rev 1998):
David was the son of:
Richard Clayton (c1625-) & Margaret ---.
who was the son of:
Richard Clayton (1601-) & Anne Askew.
