Ed, I have collected a lot of information about this Clayton family as my line married into the Clayton line several time including Tapp and Hicks lines. My information is not documented as well as yours and sources are sometimes missing but I would be happy to send you what I have. It requires about 32 pages but I can easily attach it to an E-mail if your desire. Can you handle .rtf files?
