- YORK COUNTY VIRGINIA RECORDS [WILLS]
William Pryor 21 Jan 1646-30 Jan 1646: Oldest Daughter Margaret; daughter Mary; eldest son of my brother in law Joseph Clayton; wife of Richard Kemp, Esq; Capt. Thomas Harrison of the ship "Hannor" Capt. Thomas Harwood; to Mrs. Mary Kerton; two daughters to be executrixes; friends Joseph Clayton, Capt. Thomas Harrison and Capt. Thomas Harwood to be overseers; witnesses John Rose, William Hockaday. (See Histories)
This book is Early Virginia Records; Will of Wm. Pryor mentions Claytons and others associated with the Reynolds of Lancaster and Cecil and Lansfords. I expect William Pryor is an ancestor of of the Susanna Lansford and Reynolds group who had son, Pryor Reynolds. -mfe

William Clayton was born in 1632 in England, son of William Clayton 1590?1658 and Joanne Smith 1610?1644; baptism on 9 Dec 1632 from the Parish Register at Boxgrove. He married there in 1653 to Prudence Lanckford/Langford, daughter of William Lanckford 1597?after 1632 and Eliza Reading 1605?after 1632. In 1677, William sailed on the ship "Kent" from London, England, to West Jersey, where he and his family settled in Burlington. A Quaker, he was one of several commissioners sent from London by the proprietors of New Jersey to purchase land from the native Indians.
Several years later, William settled at Upland, later called Chichester, Chester County, PA, now Chester, Delaware County, PA. He was a member of the provincial council under Governor Markham; served as one of the nine justices of the court of Upland County in 1681, and subsequently of Chester County, PA, and presided at the first council meeting held in Pennsylvania after the arrival of the proprietor, William Penn, in 1682. William Clayton was acting governor of Pennsylvania in 1684-85, and a member of the Governor's council during the drafting of the great charter of Pennsylvania. He and Samuel Pastorious were the first two judges of the city of Philadelphia.
William Clayton of Chichester, PA, carpenter, died in 1689, intestate (without leaving a will). His Will Bond was number 119 and is filed in the office for wills in Philadelphia. There was no actual will, and the bond was written by his widow Prudence. She gives power of executor to her son William. An inventory of the estate was made on Oct 8, 1689.
William & Prudence had 8 children: Prudence, Joseph, Elizabeth, Honour, William Jr., twins Mary & Elizabeth, and Hannah.
PLEASE NOTE: Various family trees posted online do not agree on the dates for William and Prudence, nor on their parentages. So there may well be errors in the above biography. Possibly two William Claytons have been mistaken for one?

The follow bio is the research of Mary Louise Reynolds.
The emigrant ancestor of our Clayton line was William Clayton. He was born near Chichester in Sussex, where he was baptized December 9, 1632. Although a noble lineage has been proposed for him, this line is incorrect. His parents have been proven to be William Clayton (will dated 1658 Feb 1) and Joan Smith (buried 27 Apr 1644), who were married 30 Oct 1631, in Boxgrove Parish, Sussex. Records show that William Clayton Sr. (m. Joan Smith) died in 1658 in Boxgrove, Sussex, England. Our material on the early Claytons came from the late Louis Jones who was also a Clayton descendant . He did research on-site in England. Louis was an engineer and he did genealogy as a mathematician does a mathematical proof, so his work is trustworthy.
