I believe there is a connection to my forbears, Daniel and Mary Clayton, who settled in Faribault County sometime before 1870, and who came there from Farmington, New York during that era. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family or of the origins of the village of Clayton. The only vestige of that village today is the Clayton Cemetery where I believe my ancestors are buried. I'd appreciate any information as I am putting together a family history. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
