MY CLAYTON FAMILY ANCESTRAL LINE

If anyone has information regarding the ancestry of Matthew CLAYTON or any other information about him or his wife Sybilla, please contact me.

One source - source #4 listed below - suggests that Matthew CLAYTON's parents are Richard CLAYTON (b. about 1626, d. about 1677) and Margaret ____ of Swarthmoor, Lancashire, England.

(1) Matthew CLAYTON, b. about 1660 probably in England (place unknown), d. about Oct 1698 in Nottingham Twsp., Burlington Co., NJ; m., about 1694 in Middletown, Monmouth Co., NJ, to Sybilla BUCKWORTH (b. unknown); they resided in Nottingham Twsp., Burlington Co. [now Mercer Co.], NJ; their child:

[#2]    i. Martha, b. about 1694, m. John ROGERS Jr.

[I have not seen primary proof that Martha married John; however, some circumstantial evidence suggests she may have.].
