Hi, I'm researching Claytons of Franklin Co and Warren Co IL. They are originally from SC and KY. I'm not sure of the relationship of these Claytons to the ones in Gallatin Co IL. You can find my Claytons at www.mcs.net/~desoto Click on the Clayton button in the table of contents and then scroll down to the bottom of the Clayton table of contents and click on Index. There you will find a list of Clayton names and related families.
