Savory CLIFTON (c. 1665 - aft. 1753) was prob. born c.1665 in England
[NEHGR 36:323). He may have come in 1686 to Scippican on Buzzard's Bay
at about the time it was established as the town of Rochester in
Plymouth Colony (MA) and may have made his first land purchase c1688,
however the early deeds have been lost. Variant spellings of the given
name have included Savary, Savorill, and Savorie.
He m. c1689 to Dorothy BURGE (BURGESS, BURGE, BURGES), b. 12 NOV 1670,
Sandwich, MA., d. of Joseph and Patience (Freeman) BURGESS [Sandwich VR
1:22, Sandwich Town Records 1:229]. Dorothy died , Rochester, MA.,
sometime between 10 APR 1725 and 1 JUN 1727 [NGS 59:168]
Dorothy (Burgess) CLIFTON is descended from Mayflower Passenger, Elder
William Brewster .
Associated Familes: WING, BOWERMAN, GIFFORD
The BURGESS family is heavily QUAKER, and many of the records concerning
this family were recorded in the Sandwich and Rochester Meeting house
Records.
Very little is known at this time about the English Ancestry of Savory,
although I understand there was supposed to have been some speculations
made in the Clifton Family Newsletter. I have tried to contact the
Newsletter, but to date have never recieved a response.
Children of this marriage were:
1. Benjamin, b. 1 AUG 1690, m. Sarah DAVIS
2. Patience, b. 2 MAR 1693, m. Joseph ROSE
3. Margaret, b. 3 NOV 1695, m. Stephen WING
4. Jane, b. 15 FEB 1697, m. Thomas Bowerman (My Ancestral Line)
5. Dorothy, b. 25 MAR 1699, m. Samuel WING
6. Deborah, m. Joseph WING
7. Sarah, b. 15 OCT 1702, m. Archipus HART
8. Lydia, b. 29 MAY 1705, m. Recompense LANDERS
9. Bathsheba, b. 9 MAY 1708, m. Butler WING
10. Mary, b. 10 APR 1711, m. Daniel WING
11. Savory, b. 15 JUL 1713; No Further Records Found
12. Hannah, b. 21 Jun 1717, m. Simon HATHAWAY
Hope this helps! I have a great deal of information on this family and
future generations if anyone out there needs it. I am always happy to
share data! I am gone quite a bit as I am an Over the Road Truck Driver,
but I will eventually get back to all responses or requests. My fiancee
is also a genealogist and has access to my records....
Also, much of this data is available on my website at
http://www.ddaccess.com/skyhawk/index.htm. I am slowly but surely
getting this all posted over and will eventually have all my database
there... with sources and citations.
Take care!
Yours in the search,

I have been looking for the parents of David P. Davis & Levina Clifton
married in 1824 in Belmont County, OH. I recently found the information
below and wonder if it is Levina's parents:
William Clifton married Polly Sproles Jan 24, 1805 in Belmont, County, Ohio?
Any information would be appreciated.

Just got off the phone with Ted Clifton, or I should say his wife, Ted has a
very bad hearing problem and can no longer talk on the telephone. Just
wanted all of you to know they are doing well, as his wife puts it for their
age.
For new Clifton researchers Ted has been researching his family for many
years and when I started my research shared so much of his finding with me.
He thought his family tied into mine, it may just do that so far we cannot
prove anything.
Also I still have a few copies of our Clifton Book available after these are
gone I will have to charge $35.00 the cost of postage was more than I had
planed for and also the cost of printing. The book has over 135 pages with
scanned documents and color maps. Just let me know. Barbara Clifton Guinn

Searching for early history of Clifton families in Wilson Co Tenn ca 1800.
The family I am interested in has Levin Clifton m Hannah Skean 186, Thomas
Clifton m Letty Rogers 1806, Jesse Clifton m Sally Smith 1819, Benjamin
Clifton m Hannah Clifton 1823, Thomas Clifton m Mansey Scot 1825. No record
where the Cliftons were from, I have my line of Cliftons, Benjamin born c
1830, on into the 1900s. Any one have knowledge of the Wilson Co Cliftons?

Said I would post other DE Clifton lines. Below is the family out of Robert
that married the pirate John Avery's widow. I have a lot of documentation
and court records on this family sent to me by Ted Clifton.
A web page on John Avery is located on my web page

I found a record of birth in the IGI online at
familysearch.com for a Charles Clifton born about 1813 and
all it gives for place is USA. It lists his father as
Thomas and doesn't list his mother. Does anyone know who
this Charles is? I think that my ggg-grandfather may have
been Charles Clifton who would have been born about this
time. On the 1850 census it lists his birthplace as DE on
the 1860 it lists his birthplace as Ohio. I'm fairly sure
this is the same Charles on these two census. I believe
that he and his wife Elizabeth were the parents of my
gg-grandfather Harvey L. Clifton. I'm having similar
problems figuring out where Harvey was born as I've found
him listed on 3 or 4 census records and two say Ky, one says
OH and the other says IL. I know for a fact that this
Harvey is my ancestor yet I've had trouble finding where he
actually was born. If anyone has any information about this
Charles born somewhere in the USA to Thomas Clifton I would
apprectiate your help.

Call this useless information but I was interested and thought I would

Hi all Clifton searchers:
Assuming that all Clifton families came from England. I believe that
everyone who is searching Cliftons would like to know where ( what
County) they came from in England. Out of all 30 Counties that I checked
only two didn't have Cliftons.There are some hints that I could tell
people about the Clifton's from Cornwall and Devon. Hints like did your
Clifton's come from an area in the USA that had Copper mines,Tin mines
,gold mines or even Coal mines then they most likely came from Cornwall.
If they came from Newfoundland they probley came from Devon. I would
hope that we could make a list of all who know where their Clifton's
came from in England and I would like to know if this sounds like it may
help anyone in our search for our families.Please respond.

Does anyone have details of this group of Cliftons? I am particularly
interested in Charles Clifton (born 1822 in DL) and Winnie Kennie (perhaps
Kenney, born about 1830 in GA) who wed in Green County about 1850. They
joined a number of Green County families in resettling in central MS in the
early 1850s, and I descend from their son, Rueben Alexander Clifton.

Hi
I am seeking any information on the following people. William Bullard born about
1799 in Robeson Co., North Carolina. He married Mary or Martha (possibly
Thompson). They moved to Cobb Co., Georgia and then my great grandfather Marion
and one or more of his siblings moved to Oneonta, Blount Co., Alabama. Marion
married Rebecca Bynum, daughter of Asa Bynum, son of Asa Bynum and Rebecca
Murphree, and Elizabeth Bynum, daughter of John Bynum and Betsy Clowdus. Their son
Parker Dometis Bullard, born 10-1-1878, married Laura Omma Webb, born 9-2-1879.
Laura was the daughter of James Alexander Webb, son of William Webb and Martha A.
Clifton, he was born in Jefferson Co., Tennessee on 11-2-1853 and Sarah Agnes
Clifton, born about 1852 in Alabama. Sarah was the daughter of Aaron Clifton and
an unnamed Indian Woman. Sorry if this message is confusing. I would appreciate
any information on these ancestors. It is possible that William Bullard if the son
of James Bullard and Sarah Pittman, but I have no proof.
Also question for the Bullard mailing list. Is there any way I could get the
picture being discussed?
Jenny Lee Tolbert
At the risk of overkill, I thought I might ask once more about a couple
of Clifton's most of us know about but maybe a new subscriber has
recently signed on:
Jonathan Clifton, born 1767, married in Franklin Co, VA(wife #2, Polly on
6/8/1827) and died after 1850 In Franklin Co, VA. He had a son, Austin
Clifton, born 1794/1797 in Amherst Co, VA . He married Eliza Wood(who was
born 3/1804 in Franklin Co, VA) 1/21/1824 in Franklin Co, VA. They both
died in Lee Co, VA.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John (Napa, CA).
Two CLIFTON lines both came to Wake/Johnston Co., NC
about the same time. One line is from Southampton Co., VA
the other from Surry/Sussex Co., VA. Each of these lines
had sons named John. I know the ancestry/descendency of
the John from Sussex Co., VA but could use some help with
the one from Southampton Co., VA. Anyone have this line?
Thanks so much,
Dianna
