- Alford19 Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent (Waldegrave18, William17, William16, William15, Walter14, William13, Richard12, William11, John10, William9, Thomas8, Walter7, William6, Walter5, William4, Walter3, William2, Guillaume1 Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham)
In previously published Clopton genealogies this Alford Clopton was incorrectly identified as the Alford Clopton, M.D. (1787-1870), who is, in fact, the son of David Clopton, Sir., and his wife, Mary Ann Vanderwall. If any references are found to an Alford Clopton in documents of this period, great care must be taken to connect the document with the correct Alford. The Clopton Family Archives contains several legal documents which refer to an Alford Clopton, however, it is not always clear which Alford is named.
Two Alford Cloptons are listed in the Georgia Tax Digests for the year 1815 living in the John H. Brodnax District of Putnam County. In the 1821 lottery, the fourth, in 1821, an Alford Clopton is granted 2020 1/2 acres in Monroe County, Georgia, in the Leggetts Military District.
It is believed the Alford Clopton living in Monroe County was the son of Waldegrave Clopton, I and his wife, Unity Alford. It is further believed that he had at least three sons. The parentage of these sons must be studied further, and until more evidence is presented, accepted tentatively into this particular Clopton line.
