Biography

Research notes

Age 11 in 1682.

Bought land in Delaware with his younger brother Joshua in 1698.

Supposedly the ancestor of most Claytons of Delaware.

- Hepburn is notoriously wrong on much of his Clayton history; he connected a lot of Clayton families using supposition rather than sources. Baty-260 07:38, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
