Historical Context
Robert Young Clay Lineage: President Robert Young Clay traced his lineage back to “Captain” John Clay, the emigrant. His lineage flows from Robert Bell Clay, William Young Clay, Dr. Paul Carrington Clay, Marstone, Thomas, Henry, Henry, and Charles, down to Captain John.
Obediah Clay and Family: Obediah Clay was documented as the son of William Clay and grandson of Henry Clay and Mary Mitchell. Land deeds show Henry Clay bequeathed land to William in 1760, who later gifted a portion to Obediah in 1767. Obediah married Mary Chappell, and his 1815 will named his children, including Levi, Betsey, Polly Rutledge, Olive, and Thomas. Levi Clay married Rachel Bruce.
Captain John Claye’s Descent (Proposed): Research outlines “Captain John Claye” arriving in Virginia in 1613. His lineage connects to Sir John Claye (ca. 1558), a coal baron of Wales. Captain John’s son, John Clay, had children named William and Charles. Charles Clay (ca. 1639–1686) married Hannah Wilson and had children including Henry Clay (b. 1672), who married Mary Mitchell.
William Mitchell Clay & Mitchell Clay: Henry and Mary Mitchell’s son, William Mitchell Clay, inherited family land in 1760. He executed land deeds to his sons William Clay Jr., Mitchell Clay, and Jesse Clay. Mitchell Clay’s 1810 will in Giles County, Virginia, identified his children, including Patience Chappel, Mitchell, William, Henry, and others. William Clay’s 1810 will in Franklin County listed his children, including Ezekiel.
