Copy from book of transcriptions; Library of State of
A helpful source
for the Person County Carver family is Keith Carver’s book. The copy in my
collection is: The Carver Family Source Book, Volume II, 5th
Edition. Compiled by Keith Carver. September 1992,
Solomon Clayton,
Sr. is included in Brown, Clayton, as individual “SC2” on page
57.
The naming
patterns within this extended family suggest that Frances Carver’s mother’s
maiden name was Draper. Francis Carver named her first son John Draper Clayton.
One of
John Draper Clayton was the eldest of nine children born to
Solomon and Frances Carver Clayton and one of the two who remained in Person
County, North Carolina when seven migrated to Western Kentucky.

John D. and
Elizabeth had 16 children, 13 of whom lived to marry and have families
themselves. Of the 3 children who died, the names of the two who died as
children were used again for later children, Marion Thomas and Alexander.
A large
percentage of the "Claytons" living in
John D. Clayton
is given credit for inventing the first sheet iron flue for curing tobacco in
The following
account appears on page 61 of Alexander R. Foushee's Reminiscences:
In the old days of red tobacco, a rather
amusing and unusual circumstance occurred on the warehouse sale floor in

At the time of
his second marriage John Draper was 70 and his new bride 60. Minerva's first
husband was Aaron Brooks who had been captured during the War Between the
States and died in prison in
John Draper
Clayton lived most of his married life in the Olive Hill area of
John Draper
Clayton is buried on the farm in a family cemetery now deep in the woods of the
farm, but most likely at the time of his death near an access road for the
farm. There is no marker for the grave of Elizabeth Clayton; however, she is most
likely buried with her husband. The cemetery includes two other graves marked
by tombstones and several dozen graves marked only by fieldstones. The
additional marked graves are: James T. Long, a son-in-law of John Draper and
Allen Yancey Clayton, the eldest son of John Draper.
Following the
death of John Draper Clayton, his son, Solomon Daniel Clayton, purchased the
farm. Solomon Daniel Clayton lived on the farm for his lifetime, living in the
house that I presume was built by John Draper. One of Solomon Daniel Clayton's
sons (my Grandfather), Flem Oscar Clayton, lived on the farm and after the
death of Susan Frances Morton Clayton moved into the home place with Solomon
Daniel. Solomon Daniel Clayton and his wife, Susan Frances Morton, are buried
in a family cemetery beside the present entrance road to the farm.
Following the
death of Solomon Daniel Clayton, part of the farm was purchased by his son Flem
Oscar Clayton and another part by his son Nat R. Clayton. After Nat's early
death, Flem purchased the second portion of the farm from Nat's widow.
Following the
death of Flem Oscar Clayton, the farm was sold at auction in two parts,
corresponding to the portions that had been owned by Flem and Nat. The portion
originally owned by Flem and containing the home place was purchased by Garnett
Carr, a great grandson of Marion Thomas Clayton, a brother of Solomon Daniel
Clayton.
Three of the following children married spouses who were
brothers and sisters. Elizabeth Long, William B. Long, and James T. Long were
brothers and sisters.

This 1880 census
contains incorrect information. Most of the ages are incorrect. Simeon had
remarried on April 15, 1872 to Margaret Brown. The name of his wife should
therefore be shown as Margaret or Maggy. These error may be the result of a
poor effort on the part of the census enumerator or possibly the information
was obtained from a neighbor rather than from the family itself. One of
Simeon's sons, Solomon age 43, is listed nearby in household 205, family 210.
Harris, Clayton,
includes information about Simeon Clayton as SC10 on page 62.
See Article 127
in Person
County Heritage, Volume II for additional information about this
family.
See article,
“Sim Clayton,” on page 78 of Heritage of Hopkins County Kentucky.

and Frances Clayton.

d:1850
m:October 21, 1839 [30]
g:Clayton family cemetery, Hopkins County
She was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Yarbrough.
. Brothers
married sisters. Solomon Clayton, Jr. and his brother William Alexander Clayton
married sisters Alcie Yarbrough and Sallie Yarbrough.
Note from Becky on September 19, 2002:
You have Sallie Yarbrough married to William Alexander Clayton. Her parents being Mr. and Mrs. William Yarbrough. And her sister Alsie married to Solomon Clayton. Here is the problem: The Sally Yarbrough, who was the daughter of William Yarbrough and Anna Winstead married Jesse Buchanan, Sept. 29, 1840.
In William Yarbrough's will, he names his children as Samuel W. Yarbrough, Elizabeth Farmer, Charles Yarbrough, Jane Clayton, Susanna Brown, Alsey Clayton, John Yarbrough, Manley Yarbrough, Lewis Yarbrough, Mary Yarbrough, William W. Yarbrough and Sally Buchanan. So the question is, who was the Sallie Yarbrough who married William A. CLayton? Could she and William have divorced and she remarried? I know my Sallie Yarbrough didn't die in 1850, because in the 1870 census of Hopkins Co. she and Jesse are living with Sallie's neice Malinda Clayton Dunkerson.
Ed: Becky is correct! So I
need to see the original marriage bond for William Alexander’s first marriage.
Apparently William Yarbrough is listed there (as Sallie’s father?). The clue to
Sallie’s parents is probably the name of the bondsmand, Francis Marion Yarbrough. At any rate the wife’s of William
Alexander Clayton and Solomon Clayton, Jr. are then not sisters.
In early 1844,
when their first child, John, was only 3 years old, the family moved by covered
wagon to Hopkins County, Kentucky, about 6 miles from Madisonville. The trip
reportedly took 8 weeks.

she recalls that John Thompson remarried within a year of the death of his

See Harris, Clayton where Solomon Clayton, Jr. is identified as individual SC11 on page 62-63.
William P. Clayton was the sixth child of
Solomon Clayton and Frances Carver.
William P. Clayton has previously been the least understood of all of the
children of Solomon Clayton, Sr. All of William’s children were girls, making
it more difficult to trace the family. His second marriage was to the sister of
his first wife. His father-in-law had died before the family left Person
County, North Carolina, so his mother-in-law and her children who were still
living at home at the time moved to Kentucky. The 1880 census indicates that

If this is the daughter of
William P Clayton who was the second wife of Henry Owen(s) then the mother does
not match. William's wife at the time his daughter Malinda was born was
Elizabeth Fuller. DEATH CERTIF ONLY SAYS WILL CLAYTON - NOT WILL P CLAYTON.

WILLIAM CLAYTON
There is a recorded
marriage for Malinda Catherine Clayton to Henry Owen on 09 Apr 1868. Based on
the census, Malinda was born circa 1847. SHE WAS BORN 5 NOV 1847
Henry Owen's first wife,
Nancy Clayton dau of Solomon Clayton Sr, is buried in the Tapp Cemetery, I
think in Webster Co, just south of Poole, Ky. I have a picture of her stone,
but there is no stone for him. I wonder if he is buried in the Shady Grove

The agricultural section of the 1850 census
lists William as having 1 horse, 1 cow, 5 sheep, and 4 swine. The entry for
land is "included". I suspect that this is because he was living on
the farm of Solomon Clayton, Sr. and therefore had no separate land to be
listed.
I welcome assistance in identifying the 13 year
old, John Owen, listed in the 1850 census. I assume that a connection is likely
with Henry Owen who married William P. Clayton’s sister, Nancy.
Possibly connected is an Owen mentioned in Person
County Heritage. Volume I, Article indicates that John Ed Owen “came to
Person County by wagon train from Kentucky around 1850.” He subsequently
married Susan Fuller on 23 May 1857 in Person County. An opportunity for
research!

RECHECK
THIS CENSUS FOR AGES
Fuller Relatives in the 1870 Census with William
Clayton Family
Although a bit afar from Clayton genealogy, I
want to include some detail I have pertaining to Sarah C Van Hook and Mary E
Taylor, both listed in the 1870 census with the William Clayton family. Both
are related through William’s Fuller in-laws.
Mahala
(Catherine), William’s second wife, was born about 1830 in Person Co North
Carolina. She died between 1870 and 1880 Union Co Kentucky. She was the
daughter of Abraham and Sarah/Sally Clayton Fuller who were married 13 November
1818 in Person County, North Carolina. Abraham died before December 1857 in
Person County, North Carolina (Will Inventory). His widow, Sarah/Sally, moved
to Union County, Kentucky were she is listed in the 1860 census but not the
1870. Abraham's parents were Isaiah and Patsey/Martha Williams Fuller.
William
Clayton’s second wife, Mahala (Catherine), had these siblings:
Mahala's sister Martha Caroline Fuller first married William
R Van Hook on 16 November 1852 in Person County North Carolina. They had two
daughters: Minerva Jane VanHook and Sarah C Van Hook. William R Van Hook died intestate in 1858. Martha asked for
and received a year's support, the note on the application says that the estate
will be settled in the next session of the court.
Martha Fuller Van Hook subsequently married James Henry Taylor on 14 February 1860 in Union Co Kentucky. Mary E and Margaret Ann Taylor are the children of their marriage. Martha Fuller Van Hook Taylor died after March 1867 before 1870 in Henderson Co Kentucky.
The explanation
for the two names included in the 1870 census is that both Sarah C. Van Hook
and Mary E. Taylor are the daughters of William P. Clayton’s sister-in-law
Martha Fuller Van Hook, one from each of her marriages.
Thanks to Rosa Barton and Chris Moon for
providing most of this information about the Fuller family.

Webster County was formed in 1860. Check to see
if William actually moved from one county to another or if the change to
Webster is just a result of the formation of a new county.
This census data indicates that William had a
third marriage and a child by the third wife.

A Word of Caution
I find the book Clayton,
The Story of the Clayton Family of North Carolina and Kentucky and Allied
Families (1972) by
Patricia Brown Harris to be very useful. Other researchers should be aware,
however, of an error in the book pertaining to William P. Clayton.
The information in the book for William Clayton
identifies him as “SC13” and appears on page 64 the book. My research indicates
that Mrs. Harris has identified both William Clayton’s first and second wives
incorrectly. She indicates that William was “thought to have married first
December 21, 1865, to Martha Wheeler.” Martha Wheeler married another William
Clayton, William the son of Simeon Thomas Clayton and Mary Painter, not William
Clayton, son of Solomon Clayton and Frances Carver. The William who did marry
Martha Wheeler was a nephew of the William who did not marry Martha.
One way to distinguish these two William
Claytons would be to designate them as NC and KY! William Clayton, son of
Solomon Clayton, Sr. and Frances Carver migrated to Western Kentucky from Person
County, NC. The William Clayton who did marry Martha Wheeler never left North
Carolina.
One small error is the assumption that William Clayton (of Kentucky) was second married to Ann E. Buchanan (October 8, 1874, in Hopkins County, Kentucky). My research indicates that the second wife of William Clayton (of Kentucky) was Catherine Fuller, daughter of Abraham Fuller and Sarah Clayton. William Clayton and Catherine Fuller married on June 30, 1865, in Union County, Kentucky. I identify Ann E Buchanan as his third wife.
Frances Malinda
Clayton was the seventh child of Solomon Clayton and Frances Carver.

What do I know
about William P. Pool?
·
His
mother was Francis Pool born about 1795. Her maiden name was likely Durden.
·
The
James Durden who was the bondsman for his marriage was likely his uncle. James
Durden married Elizabeth Pool in 1824. Thus if James Durden was brother to
William’s mother Frances, and James’ wife Elizabeth was sister to William’s
father, brother-sister married sister-brother.
·
He
is likely related to the William P. Pool who had several deeds registered in
the late 1790s.
1 James Durden Pool b:06 Sep 1850 d:
He
may have been named for the bondsman for
his parent’s marriage. Could Durden be William P. Pool’s mother’s maiden name?

On November 17,
1847, Wm P. Pool was the bondsman
for the marriage bond of Richard (Jefferson) Clayton and Roan Slaughter in
Person County. Twenty-four months later Wm P. Pool married Richard's sister.
June 8, 1824, James Durden and Elizabeth Pool were
married. This is a generation before William P. Pool's marriage to Frances
Malinda Clayton, so Elizabeth Pool could be William's much older sister, but
more likely his aunt. If true, this would explain why one of William and
Frances Malinda’s sons was named James Durden Pool.

They moved to
Hopkins County, Kentucky, in 1858 by covered wagon. Some of Jeff's brothers and
sisters moved with him. Jefferson and Roann had only one child, Solomon Thomas
Clayton.
Harris, Clayton
[need specific citation]
Jeff,
Roann, Solomon Thomas, and some of Jeff's brothers left Person County, North
Carolina in 1858 to come to Kentucky.
They loaded their covered wagons with their possessions for the journey
to Kentucky and it took seven weeks to get to Hopkins County, Kentucky.
Jeff
and Roann settled on a farm across the road from the Mark Bowles farm near
Olive Branch Church and lived there 29 years. The same year that Jeff and Roann
moved to Kentucky, their son's future wife was born on a farm about 3 miles
from where they settled.
The
only child of Jeff and Roann was Solomon Thomas Clayton. Thomas and Elizabeth
A. Buchanan were married in Hopkins County, Kentucky, on June 5, 1873. He was
24 years old and she was 15. They lived with his parents for 14 years. In 1887 they moved to the Dr. Waller farm
about one mile west on the same road in the heart of the "Shakerag
Hills" where they spent the rest of their happy life.
The
home place stayed in the Clayton family until Garnett, Thomas, and Elizabeth
Clayton's youngest son, retired a few years ago and moved to Hanson, Kentucky.
The farm was sold then.
Roann was from
Granville County, N.C. The birth and death dates above are those given on
tombstone over their graves. The spelling of Roann's name varies. [Rebecca Roan
Slaughter Clayton]
The tombstone
over her grave has her name as "Roan". Jeff and Roann moved to
Kentucky about 1858
The parents of Rebecca Roan Slaughter Clayton
were: [98]

Rebecca Roan Slaughter Clayton’s sister was Leatha
(Lucy) who marred at Curneal who died about 1879 and is supposed to be buried
in Clayton family cemetery (She is Pam’s great grandmother.) Leatha (Lucy) had
two sons who are reported to have also been buried in the Clayton Cemetery.
They were: Bailey Curneal (d:1868) and William Curneal (d:1879).

CLAYTON, Robert
TAPP, Lucreacia 09 December 1830
Lucretia is the daughter of William Tapp and
Rebecca Fowler. Born 1810 and died 1864.
From Beverly,
22 September 2002
Susan Lucretia
Tapp, full sister to my Ruth Tapp (my ggggrandmother), b. 1810 in Hopkins
County, KY, d. there in 1864. She married a Robert Clayton December 09, 1830,
in Person County, N. C., son of Coleman Clayton
From the Tapp book [page 275, need
title citation]:
They moved to Hopkins
County, Ky. Apparently along with or before Eli, John, Joel, and Vincent since
Robert witnessed Eli’s deed. They settled in the Shakerag Community of Hopkins
County, a name which was derived apparently from the community by the same name
in North Carolina from whence they came. Robert and Lucretia became membes of
the New Hope Primitive Baptist Church, of the Cypress Creek Association, which
had been established in 1827.
The family of Robert and
Lucretia, along with families headed by Warham Clayton and Richard Clayton,
first appeared in the 1840 Census of Hopkins County, Kentucky.
I have long respected the work of John
Pecarina. On July 23, 1999 John posted the note below on www .genforum.org
Re: Coleman
Clayton of NC
Have found
records only for one Coleman Clayton in Person Co. Coleman Clayton was born in
1760, according to Revolutionary War Veteran Pension Records. This year of
birth is consistent with census records from 1800-1830. He was born in the area
of Granville County that became Bute and later Warren Co. Earliest mention I
have seen is his signature, along with probable father John Clayton Sr and
brother John Clayton Jr, on a 1779 petition to divide Caswell County.
His
1800-1830 census households indicate his children were born after 1790, and
that he may have had as many as two sons; one born between 1790-1800 (Robert)
and one born about 1810 (thought to be John T Clayton, who was married 18 Mar
1834 in Person County to Jane Yarbrough.) Both apparently left for Kentucky in
the 1830s. In his will, Coleman Clayton named only his widow Jane and two
daughters, Nancy and Polly.
Whether
Jane Layton was mother to his children is left for conjecture. The Person
County marriage bond for Coleman Clayton and Jane Layton is dated 6 May 1820;
yet she supplied an earlier bond dated 14 Oct 1793 when trying to receive
bounty lands due to her deceased husband Coleman for his service in the
Revolution.
The
story naming Coleman Clayton as father to many of the Claytons who eventually
appear in Person County records has no basis in fact, although it may have come
from a several generations old oral family history. Unfortunately, this story
is found in several places, including LDS holdings.

One of the
fascinating parts of researching Clayton genealogy is the migration of so many
members of the family from Person County, NC to western Kentucky.
Robert Clayton
and wife were dismissed from Flat River Church in Person County, NC in October
1833. John Tapp and wife also left in 1833. Robert Clayton and wife Lucretia
Tapp joined the New Hope Primitive Baptist Church in 1835.

In December
1778, through the influence of Colonel Richard Henderson and Nathaniel Hart,
the Virginia House of Delegates granted to the Richard Henderson (Transylvania)
Company, 200,000 acres of land in Kentucky situated between the Ohio and Green
Rivers. In 1783, the North Carolina legislature granted the same to the
company. The result being that Henderson County was formed out of part Christian
County and was organized on June 4, 1799. Named in honor of Colonel Richard
Henderson, one of the original founders of Kentucky. The county initially
encompassed all of the territory from which the present Hopkins County was
formed in 1806. Union County was formed in 1811, and Webster County was formed
in 1860. The county seat of Henderson was incorporated in 1810.

Many of these
sources are referenced in the body of this work using shortened names that are
given here.
Clayton, The Story of the
Clayton Family of North Carolina and Kentucky and Allied Families, Patricia Brown Harris, 1972. (The short
reference for this book is Brown, Clayton.)The author privately
published this book. This volume primarily includes information about several
of the children of Solomon Clayton, Sr., of Person County from who Mrs. Brown
is descended. Mrs. Brown is no longer actively doing genealogical research.
Several individuals in Person County have this book in their private
collections. The Person County Library does not have a copy. A copy is
available in the Madisonville, Kentucky Public Library.
One error that I have noted in this book
deserves mention in order to avoid confusion. Although Mrs. Harris’ research is
sound, her information about William Clayton is at odds with mine. Her entry
for William Clayton identifies him as “SC13” in her numbering system and
appears on page 64 of her book.
My research indicates that Mrs. Harris has
identified both William Clayton’s first and second wives incorrectly. She
indicates that William was “thought to have married first December 21, 1865, to
Martha Wheeler.”
Martha Wheeler married another William Clayton,
William the son of Simeon Thomas Clayton and Mary Painter, not William Clayton,
son of Solomon Clayton and Frances Carver. The William who did marry Martha
Wheeler was a nephew of the William who did not marry Martha.
One way to distinguish these two William
Claytons would be to designate them as NC and KY! William Clayton, son of
Solomon Clayton, Sr. and Frances Carver migrated to Western Kentucky from
Person County, NC. The William Clayton who did marry Martha Wheeler never left
North Carolina.
The Carver Family Source
Book, Volume II, 5th Edition,
Keith R. Carver, Pelham, MA 1992 This book
provides information about the descendants of William Carver of Person County.
The book is very professionally done, including graphics for maps that visually
indicate migration. A full index is included. The book was commercially printed
in both hard and soft cover.

This volume
contains a complete index.
The Heritage of Person
County, Volume II,
Person Co. Historical Society, 1983
This volume
contains an index that provides entries only for surnames, not given names.
This makes any attempt to look up common surnames very time consuming.
Historical Sketch of Person
County, Stuart T.
Wright, The Womack Press, Danville, 1974. 232 pages. No index.
Reminiscences, A Sketch and
Letters, Descriptive of Life in Person County in Former Days, Alexander R. Foushee, 1921, Reprinted
1960. 81 pages.
Not a
traditional history book but a treasured collection (especially if one of your
ancestors is included) of letters to the editor of the local newspaper that
were written by Civil War veteran and businessman A. R. Foushee between 1914
and 1920. These letters provide delightful insights into the individuals and
events of Roxboro and Person County as far back as the 1850s.
Originally
printed in 1921 and reprinted by Taylor's Printing Shop in Roxboro in 1960 and
1988. Although an index was not included, someone has created an index that is
available.
I purchased an
additional copy of this book at Taylor's Printing in Roxboro sometime in early
1997 for $8.00 plus sales tax.

Kendall index, this book does not include in the listing the names of the
bondsman/witness(es). For that reason I prefer using Kendall. Ingmire is
presently available for purchase from several genealogical book stores.
One of the great
joys of the genealogy hobby is meeting ones “cousins.” That has certainly been
the case in my experience. Not only have I benefited from the exchange of
information, but I have formed many lasting friendships.
Especially
deserving of credit are many “cousins” who have both shared and been friends.
Jim Clayton has been a Clayton researcher for many years and with such great
results! Gwen Harralson showed me that the word “cousin” is magic. She shared her
knowledge and enthusiasm for the entire Clayton family. Alice Clayton shared
all of research and took us to the cemetery at Shakerag.
Especially
helpful for their particular lines have been the following. Carolyn Dunbar and
Mary Jane Burn for the Villines line; Jim Clayton for the Simeon line; Lewis
Denton for information about Solomon Clayton, Jr.’s son Alexander Coleman
Clayton’s second marriage to Annie Dayton Payne; Rosa Barton for help with
William Clayton’s first and second wives, both Fullers;
The availability
of the Internet has made communication and sharing an everyday occurrence.
Several times I have had the pleasant experience of having an email
correspondent send me valuable information after reading information that I
have posted on the Internet. In many cases such unsolicited contributions have
provided valuable information for my research.
