WILLIAM ASHBY BLOXTON, Jr. was a "Farmer of 10,000 acres." He was born circa 1808 in *Stafford County, VA. ("age 56" on June 23, 1860 Census, so born 1804 or after, on tax lists also) In 1829, he married his 1st wife: LUCY CLIFT, born in 1810 in Stafford County, VA. (I was told she was the daughter of ARTHUR & HARRIET CLIFT.)
Lucy died circa 1846. They had 4 sons, THOMAS LAWRENCE/LAURENCE, FIELDING "ALBERT", WILLIAM ARTHUR, & ALEXANDER E. BLOXTON.
I just received information that "LUCY CLIFT BLOXTON had to have been the SISTER of ARTHUR F. CLIFT (b. 1816; married to Marion M. Clift) and the daughter of FIELDING CLIFT (b. 1774) and Elizabeth Elkins who were married 31 March 1804. Lucy appears to have had brothers, LAWRENCE CLIFT, ARTHUR CLIFT, and ALBERT CLIFT. [Note that she named children with the middle names of "Lawrence"/Laurence, (Fielding) "Albert", and "Arthur".]
William Arthur Bloxton, one of these sons, lived with FIELDING CLIFT (his grandfather or UNCLE?), in 1850. Elizabeth (Elkins) Clift was the sister of Benjamin Elkins who married Frances Barber. Elizabeth's niece, Rebecca Frances Elkins, married Arba Randall Packard, and her photo was in the family album of Lucretia Jett (Shackelford) Fines, along with the photo of Lucretia's cousin, Orion Bloxton, of Selma, Alabama. Lucretia's grandmother, Catherine (Maddox) Proctor, was the sister of Benedicta (Maddox) Bloxton Fleury. It is odd that Lucretia's sister, Henrietta Catherine Shackelford, wife of Dr. Levi P. Dodge, named one of her two sons "Albert Arthur" Dodge. Maybe there is another connection?"
My FIRST question re above LUCY CLIFT info is:
Did Fielding Clift have a BROTHER named Arthur Clift who was married to a Harriet?
Thanks for any help!
God Bless You! God Bless America and Israel! America and Israel, Bless God! Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6; Genesis 12:3)!
Love in Jesus,
