Sharon Mills If by any chance you come across any Claytons prior to 1824 (earliest for James Clayton) I would be very interested. The first recorded Clayton (James and David) is around 1819 but per history those who moved to Indiana moved from the Ohio river from Washington co??? and Shelby??? I cannot determine what is meant by these County entries. Is it possible at that time there was a Shelby Co in IN or is the reference to Shelby Co Kty?? Allen, Hamilton Co's?????
