My turn with the elusive Clayton's of VA....
Joseph Clayton b approx 1806 , ? VA, m Ruth Roberts 1928 in Washington/Scott
Co VA. Traveled by wagon to Hancock Co IN (Greenfield) approx 1834, where
they were instrumental in starting the first Methodist church (which still
stands) . Joseph died 1867-68 in Hancock Co. He and Ruth had 11 children;
Mary V Clayton Hamilton, Richard , Henry R, Harriet E Clayton Catt,
Emeline Clayton Leamon, James L , Nancy Catherine Clayton Lamb, Issac W,
Martha Clayton Wiggins, John Andrew Jackson, Sarah Margaret Clayton
Winslow...
Were his parents William and Sarah Smith Clayton of Cabell/Kanawa Co VA ? I
think not, only because he didn't name a son William, which I understand was
customary. But can't find proof one way or the other!
Any help? Thanks!
