NOTE:
The Florida Clayton connection to Barnwell District, SC - compiled 050130 rev. 061012
This is written by Kenneth Clayton LeDuc. My mother was Lily Sue Clayton , daughter of Frazier C. Clayton. Frazier C. Clayton was son of William J. Clayton ; who was son of Joseph W. Clayton.
Joseph W.(b.1805,d.1858 ) and Harriet (maiden name unknown) Clayton, my Great-great-grandparents, transferred their church membership from the Bethsaida Church, Barnwell District, SC, to Old Union Primitive Baptist near Lakeland, Lanier Co., GA. Lakeland is 40 miles north of Statenville and 20 miles NE of Valdosta. They then transferred to form a new congregation at Apahoochee Meeting House, Echols County, GA, about 1836.. This information was taken from "The Chinkypin" News published by Dorothy (Mrs. Leroy) Price of Statenville, Echols Co., GA. In addition to Joseph W. Clayton, Isham H. Clayton (b.1782,d.1865) and John G. (T.?) Clayton (b.1795,d.?) came to this area from Barnwell and all three served with the militia against the marauding Seminoles coming across from Florida in 1838. I suspect that Isham H. and John G. were brothers. Isham H. could have been Joseph W.Łus father ; since there were 23 years between them ; they may have been brothers ; or uncle and nephew. There was also a Daniel W. Clayton (b.1801, d.1891), possible J. W.Łus brother or cousin, in the Statenville area. Joseph W. moved to Jefferson County, Florida and died there.
Chronologically :
1742 - Reverend Giessendanner performed the marriage in Orangeburgh, SC, of John Cleaton (Clayton) (born Europe?), son of (unknown parents), and Sirrah Hatcher Fuster, widow, in the Church of Orangeburgh. Sirrah was probably the Daughter of Seth Hatcher (b.1686, d.1756), and Elizabeth (last name unk.)(d.1748) . Rev. Giessendanner also baptized John & Sirrah(Sarah) Hatcher ClaytonŁus first seven children : Sirrah Clayton (b.04/30/1750), John Clayton (b.10/25/1751) , William Clayton (b.12/18/1752), Issom Clayton (b.11/14/1754), James Clayton (b.1756) , Abraham Clayton (b.04/11/1758) , and Jane Clayton (b.11/19/1759) ; Rev. Paul Turquand baptized their 8th child ; Jacob Clayton b.09/08/1770. Rev. Giessendanner also baptized the following Claytons of unknown parents : John Clayton on 10/14/1758 (son of ?? , b. ?, ) and Isham Clayton on 09/07/1760 (son of ?? , b.??); Tobias Hartzog (Hertzog) was suret at the baptism. Note: In 1764 Hertzog was granted 100 acres on the north fork of the Edisto River at WaterŁus Pond. www.xs4all.nl/~sail/orange/01-28.html
1776-1782 Revolutionary War - SC ClaytonŁus : Abraham (Capt., Colleton Co., wounded), Austin (Chester Co., Capt Gowan), Isaac (Gen. MarionŁus), Isham (Co. Unk), John ( 5th Regt) , John (Greenville Dist., AustinŁus Brother), Lawrence (MarionŁus Brigade), and William (Capt. Youngblood).
1778, January 16th, Isham Clayton who wrote his will "being very sick" at his "Fishpond Plantation" in St. PaulŁus Parrish , Colleton District, listing wife, Anna, Sons: James, Isham, George, and Joseph; Daughters: Sarah, Anna, Mary, and Rebeckah. He names Isham Clayton as executor. I found that Fishpond Plantation was near the forks of the Edisto River.
1781 Edmund Jones (wife Mary) mentioned Isham Clayton as "brother" in his the will.
1785 , Abraham Clayton of St. BartholemewŁus Parish, Colleton Co., wrote his will leaving his Plantation to his wife (unknamed), and names sonsŁu Ishem and James, under age. Executor, John Clayton.
1795 John Clayton, Charleston Town District, planter wrote his will mentioning wife, Elizabeth, and children; John, Sarah, Elizabeth, and James George. Wit. David Clayton.
1796 Samuel Riggs, St. GeorgeŁus Parish, Charleston Dist., will was wit. by John and David Clayton.
1797 David Clayton, Charleston District Planter, wrote his will leaving his estate to wife, Sarah.
1798 - Barnwell District was formed from Orangeburgh District.
1798 - George Mackinfuss, St. GeorgeŁus Parish Planter, mentioned daughter Jemimah and husband John Clayton in will.
1800 Barnwell District, South Carolina, census showed only John Clayton as head-of-household
1810 Barnwell District, South Carolina, census showed Joseph (over 45), James (26-44), and Vander (16-25) Clayton
1812 - War of, service of South Carolina Claytons : Isham H. (pvt, RoweŁus Regt.); John L., (musician, RoweŁus Regt.), and Warren, (pvt, AustinŁus Regt.)
1820 Barnwell District, South Carolina, census showed Isom E.(Isom H.?)(over 26), James (16-26), James T. (>46), John (16-26, or >46), and V.C.N.G. (NDNG?) (16-24), Clayton.
1830 census showed John (50-59), John (30-39), Jonas (30-39), V.D.J.(30-39), G.W.(20-29), and V.D.J.(30-39) as heads-of-housholds. Thomas M. Clayton points out that the G. W. in the 1830 census seems to correlate to our J. W. Clayton in that our J. W. was born in 1805, his age and his wifeŁus age agree with those on the census as well as his two children who fit the ages on the census. Further extension of this logic suggests that J. W. Łts father was James Clayton and that his JamesŁu father was Joseph Clayton.

1840 Barnwell District, South Carolina census showed V.D.V.J. and Jonas remaining in Barnwell with some newcomers.
1840 - Lowndes County, Georgia census showed the households of Isham Clayton and Joseph W. Clayton as head-of-households. Joseph W.Łus household showed an older man - his father ? her father ? Lowndes County was the parent of Echols County. The 1850 census of Lowndes County, GA, showed the households of: Isham H., Isham D., Daniel W., and John G. Clayton. Joseph W. had gone to Florida ; Jefferson County.
1897 Bamberg County splits from the SE corner of Barnwell County taking the Fishpond district and the forks of the Edisto with it. The County Seat is Bamberg. Can the Bethsaida Church cemetary still exist ?
I have come across many Isham, Ishem, Issom, Isom, Joseph, James, John and William Claytons, etc., in the genealogical records in South Carolina and Georgia in the period between 1740 and 1840. It is extremely difficult to tie together the relationships. I havenŁut succeeded; but, I do believe that the John Cleaton (Clayton), who married Sirrah Hatcher Fuster in or about 1742 is our ancestor. He is probably my Great8 Grandfather. I have not positively traced back further than Joseph W. Clayton, my great-great-grandfather, and his son, William J. Clayton, my Great-grandfather.

Subject: Re: Joseph W. Clayton & descendants

This is the information I received from another researcher:

Hello Lynn

My Clayton connection is not a direct one but I have still made an effort to
sort them out because of their connections to my Brooke family.
Isham H. Clayton was the third husband of my ggggrandmother Susannah.
Susannah was the daughter of John Prior of England and his common-law wife Eve
Grubbs. Susannah had siblings Tobias, William and Elizabeth. John Prior
also had a son John who came to S.C. after his father's death to manage the
old man's estate and also became guardian of the four younger children.
John Prior, Sr. had also left a wife and a couple of daughters in England.

Susannah's first Husband Samuel Jeter died 1808 and one of their daughters,
Levinia married John T. Clayton who was born about 1795. Levinia died in
S.C. and John also moved to Lowndes County GA with his daughter Susannah P.
Clayton. I do not know the parents for this John T. Clayton but he would
have been a contemporary of your Joseph W. Clayton... perhaps a brother.

Susannah's other daughter by Samuel Jeter was Eliza who married John Allen.
They too came to Lowndes Co.

Susannah's Second Husband was Thomas Brooke son of Thomas Brooke of Maryland
and his wife Ann Dicks. The younger Thomas and Susannah had Three Daughters
and my ggg grandfather Thomas Tobias Brooke. The eldest of these daughters
was Elizabeth who married Daniel Wilson Clayton, again they also moved to
Lowndes County GA. The youngest Daughter Sarah married Jessie P. Prescott
and the third daughter was, Almina, whose given name I learned only last
year in some old documents held by one of my Brooke cousins in Volusia County
Florida. I have not yet found any additional information on Almina Brooke.

Daniel Wilson Clayton was born in 1801 and may have been a brother to both
John T. Clayton and your Joseph W. Clayton. I suspect they may be sons of
Isham H. Clayton by a first marriage but other than a strong hunch and all
these folks moving from Barnwell Co.S.C. to Lowndes Co. GA all about the
same time. It would not have been unusual for the two brothers to have married
half sisters. Since they were all young at the time Susannah and Isham were
married about 1821 in Barnwell they probably were raised together as a large
blended family for at least a few years before their marriages and before
the family moved to Lowndes.

Sorry no proof yet but that is my theory. I understand the Lowndes County
court house burned (just our luck) and there is no will or estate record for
Isham Henry Clayton that would easily prove this. I loose track of Susannah
after about 1851 when Isham published a disclaimer in a newspaper stating
that she had left his household and that he would not be responsible for any
of her debts. I suspect she may have moved in with one of the daughters but
have not had time to confirm that either. Hopefully I can find her someday
in the census for 1860 but she may well have died before then. Too many
puzzles here.

Let me know if you have any clues to confirm or even dispute any part of
this relationship theory. If we keep digging something might eventually turn up.

Candy

This is my response to her:

Thanks for your response to my email. After years of searching, this is the
most promising lead I've had.

A little more information about Joseph W. Clayton:

He was born in SC (perhaps Barnwell County?) in 1805. Around 1828 he
married Harriet A. ? (b. 1807 in SC). Their son William A. (or J.) was born
in SC in 1829, their daughter Rebecca A. in 1830, and their son Marion in
1833. Some time between 1833 and 1836 Joseph W. Clayton and his family
emigrated to Lowndes County, GA. Their son John J. was born there in 1836,
their son Daniel M. in 1838, and their son Delamar M. in 1840. In the 1840
federal census for Lowndes County, GA, Joseph Clayton was listed as head of
a household with the following people in it: 3 males <5 (John J., Daniel
M., and Delamar M.), 2 males 5-10 (Marion and possibly William A.?), a male
30-40 (Joseph W.), a female 10-15 (Rebecca A.), a female 30-40 (Harriet A.),
plus two people I haven't been able to explain, a male 40-50 and a female
5-10. Could these two folks be John T. Clayton and his daughter Susannah P.
Clayton? When were they born?

In 1841, Joseph and Harriet had a son, my ancestor Anguish Butler Clayton,
who supposedly was born just outside of or near Valdosta (the county seat of
Lowndes County). In 1843 their son Clayborn Sidney (Sydney) was born.
Sometime right after that Joseph W. Clayton and family moved to Jefferson
County, FL. Jefferson County is near Lowndes County -- it is the county
just east of Leon County FL where Tallahassee is located. Joseph W. Clayton
voted in an election in Jefferson County 26 May 1845, which meant he had to
have been living in Jefferson County for at least 6 mos., and in FL for at
least two years. In Jefferson County Joseph and Harriet had two more
children: Rosanna A. (AKA Rocksey, Roxanne) in 1846 and Jefferson in 1848.
In the 1850 federal census for Jefferson County, all of the kids listed
above appeared (this is where I determined their date and place of birth),
except for Sydney who was living a couple of families away with Seth B.
Smith and his wife Eleanor and their children Versenoy, Mary A., Josephine,
Shadrock, Sophronia, Narcissa, and Rachael (I can provide birth year and
state for all these folks if you are interested).

Joseph W. Clayton apparently died between 1850 and 1860, as his wife shows
up alone with the younger kids in the 1860 census.

Harriet A. ? Clayton was listed as being unable to read and write in the
1850 but not the 1860 census. Apparently she died some time after 1860,
possibly before 1870, as I have been unable to find her after the 1860
census. The FL census for 1870 was so horrible that I can't find many folks
who appear in the 1880 census, but I haven't been able to find Harriet after
that date.

The Clayton boys did not fare well in the Civil War. Daniel M., Delamar M.,
and Clayborn Sidney all died during the war, Daniel in a federal prison. My
ancestor Anguish Butler contracted dysentery at the beginning of the war,
almost died, later rejoining his unit. Apparently he suffered on and off
from the effects of that dysentery the rest of his life, eventually dying in
1887 (I did some quick and dirty research on this and it is possible for
amebic dysentery to have these effects). I think John J. was taken prisoner
and went blind during the war.

Anguish Butler Clayton married Victoria A. Brickle (her parents were from
SC) and they had several children, including my grandfather, Orlando John
Clayton. Orlando married Virgie Andrews (three of her grandparents were
from SC) and one of their daughters, Marjorie May Clayton, is my mother.
All of these folks were in Jefferson County FL, some in Leon Co. first for a
little while. Incidentally, Virgie Andrews' mother was Florida Grubbs, her
parents were John Wesley Grubbs (b. Camden County GA) and Rebecca Kinsey (b.
SC). John's parents were Benjamin H. Grubbs (b. SC) and Mary Ann ? Bolton
(b. GA). I think Rebecca's parents were Joseph F. Kinsey and Caroline M.
Stanley, both b. in SC.

Even though I now live in SC I have been unable to definitively connect my
Jefferson County folks with their siblings or ancestors in SC.

I want to study your email some more and look through my notes so I will
send more information later. I am attending a family reunion in Madison
County in a couple of weeks and plan to allocate a day to do research in
Lowndes County, GA, which is on the way. If you have any suggestions as to
what I might try to accomplish there re: Claytons, etc., please feel free to
suggest!

Thanks again for your response, Lynn

the notes I have on SC and GA censuses. Will keep you posted -- Lynn

CONNECTION TO KINSEYS NOTE: Connection to the Kinsey family is not known for sure by me at least. I found some trees on Ancestry.com that placed Harriet as a Kinsey and the same Harriet that married Joswph W Clayton. Other trees showed her as a Kinsey but no information about her marriage. It seems plausible since many of the Kinsey brothers and a sister came to Florida in Jefferson County early about 1820. Harriet married Joseph and they eventually made it to Jefferson County FL about 1843. She might have been their sister and that eventually brought them to Florida in the same twonship as the Kinseys. I have only others trees for this information at this time, I have entered the Kinseys info, but I have not made Harriet's surname Kinsey for now.

Butler Clayton is listed as a 42 year old white male farmer, a husband, who was born in FL, and whose parents were born in SC. Ellanona, his wife, born in FL, is listed as a 38 year old white female who is keeping house, and whose parents were born in NC. The oldest child, their 10 year old daughter Dona, attended school that year, and can read but not write. The other children are listed as being "at home", unable to read or write, and include 7 year old son Aubrey, 4 year old Shelly who is listed as a son but who I believe was a daughter, 2 year old daughter Scotia, and 2 month old baby daughter who was probably Docie.

According to information from documents that Nancy Slade provided I discovered a second marriage for Rosanna(Roxanna) that I was unaware of. A search of census records discovered a Roxanna Townsend born in 1846 (a match) as wife of a Thomas Townsend which matches with the marriage info from the documents. It is not absolutely for sure but I think this is a match. I am not sure what happened to her first husband Hillary Standley as after the marriage record from Jefferson County in 1862 he disappears. Perhaps he died during the rest of the war. He was released in Apr 1862 from service in the CSA military. He might have reentered the war and died or died later of disease or injury from the war. Either way he probably died before 1870 when Roxanna would have married Thomas Townsend.

I saw your listing on the Family Tree Magazine site. Joseph Clayton is my
gg-grandfather. Joseph> Jefferson B.> Clanton Mallory> Mary Jo> Mary Jo
Sanders, now Mary Jo Walker. Jefferson was born in FL, as those following
him. My mother's father died in 1923 and she remembers very little about him.
I went to the geneaolgy society in Jefferson Co., Fl and found in a file the
name of William Clayton listed as the father of Joseph. Have you any info
about this? It listed Warren, Stephen, and John as his brothers. The
brother's of Joseph were listed as, Stephen, Phillip, John, William Jr., and
Carter.
I know that there were sibilings of Clant, but not sure of their names.
Would love to know if you have any other info.

Martha filed for CSA Pension with Florida 27 Feb 1897. Pension application states John died 17 Dec 1896. He was blind and application states he died of complications concerning the blindness/desease. This is thus far the last known record of her. Since she is not in the 1900 US Census it is probable she died before that census.
