As I mentioned he married into the Culp/Funck line, and he and wife and inlaws went on to Ohio, and his last son, my great grandfather David on to Iowa where my grandfather and father were born. So that is the specific line. Claytor has been spelled Clater, Clayton, and other close to Claytor spelling. Claytor is the correct spelling. Thanks, CC
