BIOGRAPHY: Elizabeth Clopton was the widow of William Walker who died 12 Sept. 1718 (St. Peters Parish Reg., New Kent Co., VA.) She was a daughter of William Clopton Gent. who was born in 1655 in County Essex, England. He was a son of Rev. William Clopton of Eastwood Co., Essex, and his wife, Elizabeth Sutcliffe. The Clopton line has been traced back to Edward I, King of England. It has been written that Sir Walter Clopton, one of our ancestors, signed the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 In this the rights of the subjects are compelled to be respected by the authority and these rights proclaimed are a part of the constitution of every English speaking people. Kentwell Hall was the name of the Manor House of the Clopton Family in England. William Clopton, son of Elizabeth Clopton, must have been in Virginia by 1673 since his marriage to Am Booth, daughter of Robert Booth, occurred about that time.

Hello Mr. Harris,

I have documented my line to Robert Booth. His daughter, Ann, married William Clopton. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) William Walker, their son, William, married Jane Bays (father Peter was a Huguenot/Manakin). Jane and William had a daughter named Lydia who married John Warren Jackson and on down to me. Would you like any of this information? I am always happy to share.

Do you know if Robert Booth's father came to Jamestown? I notice there is a Robert Booth on that list.

* Alexander Spotswood became acting royal governor of Virginia in 1710, by which time pressure on the colony to expand had become more acute than ever. In 1716, Governor Spotswood, with about 50 other men and 74 horses, led a real estate speculation expedition up the Rappahannock River valley during westward exploration of the interior of Virginia. The journalist of this expedition was a Huguenot, Lieut. John Fontaine, who served as an officer in the British Army.
The party included 14 rangers and 4 Meherrin Indians, and departed Germanna on August 29, coming within sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 31st. They continued upriver past today's Stanardsville, reaching the head of the Rappahannock on September 2. Fontaine recorded in his journal for September 5 that axemen had to clear the way along the path of what he called the "James River", but which was in fact a creek along the eastern slope named Swift Run, surrounded on all sides by steep mountain terrain. Swift Run is part of the James River drainage system. The expedition had followed the Rappahannock drainage system up to this point.
There they crossed the top ridge of the Blue Ridge mountains at Swift Run Gap (elevation 2,365 feet).
On September 6, 1716, they rode down into the Shenandoah Valley on the east side of Massanutten Mountain and reached the Shenandoah River, which they called the "Euphrates" near the current town of Elkton. There, they fired multiple volleys and drank special toasts of wine, brandy, and claret to the King and to Governor Spotswood, naming the two peaks after them.[1] The taller summit they called "Mount George", and the lesser, "Mount Spotswood".
On the banks of the river they buried a bottle, inside which they had put a paper whereby Spotswood claimed the place in the name of George I. On the 7th, the party returned home, reaching Germanna on the 10th.
After the journey, Spotswood gave each officer of the expedition a stickpin made of gold and shaped like a horseshoe on which he had inscribed the words in Latin "Sic jurat transcendere montes", which translates into English as "Thus he swears to cross the mountains." The horseshoes were encrusted with small stones and were small enough to be worn from a watch chain.[2] The members of Governor Spotswood's expedition soon became popularly known as the "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe."
Of the expedition members, only the following are known by name to have taken part: Lt. Governor Spotswood, John Fontaine, Robert Beverley, Jr., William Robertson, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Todd, James Taylor (great-grandfather of US President Zachary Taylor), Robert Brooke (grandfather of VA Governor Robert Brooke), George Mason III, Capt. Smith, William Clopton, Jr., (second son of William Clopton and Ann Booth Clopton)and Jeremiah Clouder.[3]
In a Richmond news article, dated 16 Feb 1901, honoring John Bacon Clopton, the grandson of William Clopton Jr.. The following is a copy of a handwritten statement, signed and sealed to be found among the John Bacon Clopton papers at Duke University Library, Durhan North Caroline: There was in my father's possession a golden horseshoe which the tradition of the family said was worn by William Clopton Jr.. That is had 7 Diamonds set in it the place of nailheads, was inscribed on one side "Sic Juvat Trancsenderi Montes" and on the other "William Clopton, Knight." That as a child I have had it laid in my hand to look at and that it was of a size to encircle the center of my palm. And that this horseshoe was stolen by Pickpocket Smith, a notorious character, who operated among fashionable of Richmond in 1842 or 3. Witness my hand and seal this ninth day of August, 1897. Signed: Joyce Wilkinson Wallace
[edit]

A commemorative plaque and pyramid-shaped stone at Swift Run Gap (at the south side of U.S. Highway 33 near the Skyline Drive overpass) mark the historic crossing of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.[5] The Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail both pass nearby as well.


Also at this location, a Virginia Historical Highway Marker, # D10 Knights of the Golden Horseshoe, is located. It reads:
On 5 Sept. 1716, in this region, it is believed Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood and his party of government officials, gentry, Native Americans, soldiers, and servants crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Shenandoah Valley. Their adventure into Virginia's western lands began at Germanna late in Aug. and ended when they returned there on 10 Sept. According to legend, Spotswood gave his companions small golden horseshoes on their return and the group became known as the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. The journey has been fictionalized and mythologized in literature since the 19th century.

June 26, 1758 in New Kent County, Virginia². He married Mary Jarratt September 4, 1711 in St. Peter's Parish Church, New Kent County, Virginia³, daughter of Robert Jarratt and Mary.
There are many troubling elements regarding the listing of the children currently found in both the Lucy Erwin and Gene Clopton, Clopton genealogies. The Erwin book did not list Elizabeth or Richard. Gene Clopton notes the Parish Registry is mutilated, and Richard is listed as Richard son of Walter and Mary------, and concludes Richard "must be "Clopton" as no other Walter and Mary is known in St. Peter's Parish at the time." The registry notes the birth or baptism of Anne, a son, Mary, Walter, and Rob(ert). No proof has been offered that Walter (born 1720, died in infancy). Cordelia Belle Clopton, lists the children as Walter, Mary, Robert, Deve(reaux), Naomi, Margaret, and Anne. There is a strong belief that at least some of the children may belong to another Clopton male. There are a number of Clopton adults of this period who have not yet been connected with a family.

It has been written that Sir Walter Clopton, one of our ancestors, signed the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 In this the rights of the subjects are compelled to be respected by the authority and these rights proclaimed are a part of the constitution of every English speaking people. Kentwell Hall was the name of the Manor House of the Clopton Family in England. William Clopton, son of Elizabeth Clopton, must have been in Virginia by 1673 since his marriage to Am Booth, daughter of Robert Booth, occurred about that time. Am Booth was born in 1647 Her father, Robert Booth, was Clerk of York Co., Va. and a member of the House of Burgessess 1653-54. She was formerly the wife of Capt. Thomas Dennett whose will was proved 1 Aug. 1673, by whom she had four children.

Notes:

Hello Mr. Harris,

I have documented my line to Robert Booth. His daughter, Ann, married William Clopton. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) William Walker, their son, William, married Jane Bays (father Peter was a Huguenot/Manakin). Jane and William had a daughter named Lydia who married John Warren Jackson and on down to me. Would you like any of this information? I am always happy to share.

Do you know if Robert Booth's father came to Jamestown? I notice there is a Robert Booth on that list.

Sincerely,

Dee Redkevitch Atlanta, GA Dee Redkevitch [deezee97@mindspring.com]

2. Waldegrave¹⁸ Clopton I (William¹⁷, William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham)^5,6 was born November 19, 1719 in New Kent County, Virginia⁷, and died April 13, 1786 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, probably^8,9. He married Unity Alford Abt. 1753 in Virginia. Marriage Bond was filed at the Cumberland Court House, daughter of John Alford and Grace. She was born December 16, 1724 in New Kent County, Virginia¹⁰, and died Aft. June 30, 1787 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, probably¹¹.
Children of Waldegrave Clopton and Unity Alford are:
+ 6 i. Waldegrave¹⁹ Clopton II, born November 11, 1755 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bet. August 6, 1804 and February 11, 1822 in Virginia, probably.
+ 7 ii. Alford Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.
+ 8 iii. David Clopton, Sr., of St. Peter's Parish, born 1760 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bef. July 3, 1823 in probably Henrico County, Virginia.

Waldegrave Clopton was a Captain in the American Revolution. Although his military records have not been found, it is safe to say he probably entered service by 1776. He was a Captain by the time his younger brother, Thomas, joined him on the battlefield in early 1778. Thomas mentions him several times in his application to receive a pension for his service.

9 iv. Thomas Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent¹², born February 10, 1762 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Aft. December 12, 1833 in Henrico County, Virginia, probably.
Thomas was about sixteen years old when he entered the American Revolution as a substitute, a Private, no less. His father, who could well afford to set him up with horses, weapons, and all the fine accouterments a gentleman required to enter battle, possibly did not want to send his youngest son to war. Like his great-grandfather, William, who defied his well-to-do father and apprenticed himself to finance his trip to America, Thomas no doubt was determined to join his elder brothers as the fledgling nation fought for independence.
10 v. Unity Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent. She married Massie.
Her brother, Thomas, mentions his sister, Massie, "a widow" in his application for pension for his service during the American Revolutionary War. It is not clear if her first name was Massie or if she married a Massie.
11 vi. Frances Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.
Frances Clopton is a witness to an indenture (GS Film 031793 (7566 Pt. 3) Vol. 2, page 467) between Unity Clopton and Tarpley White. It is not clear what relationship Frances Clopton has with this family. More research is necessary. A copy of this indenture is located in the Clopton Family Archives.
12 vii. Lyddall Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.
It has not been established that Lyddall Clopton is the son of Waldegrave Clopton, Jr. A Lyddall Clopton and Alford Clopton, witnessed an indenture (GS Film 031796 (7566 pt. 6) Book 8, page 605), which is located in the Clopton Family Archives, dated June 17, 1809. The indenture is between David Clopton and his wife, Mary Ann Vanderwall, of the County of Henrico. David named one of his sons, Alford. It may be that Lyddall is his son and not his brother.
13 viii. William Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent¹².
William Clopton is in the New Kent Military Class Number 22 in 1782.

. Ann¹⁸ Clopton, of New Kent (Walter¹⁷, William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham) was born July 3, 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia¹⁰. She married Benjamin Bradley, of Charles City, son of Joseph Bradley, of Charles City County, Virginia. He was born 1708 in Charles City County, Virginia, and died 1768.
No proof has been found that Ann Clopton married anyone or had any children. The theory of a possible Bradley-Clopton connection has been carefully researched by Frank Bradley, the former Genealogical Specialist, New York Public Library. After extensive research on the Bradley Family, it is his opinion that a very strong case can be made supporting this marriage based on several points:
1. Walter Clopton (her father) was named guardian of Jesse, Susannah & Elizabeth Bradley; 2. Saint Peter's Parish Registry lists the children of Benjamin and Ann Bradley; 3. the similarity of given names of the children of Walter Clopton & Benjamin Bradley; 4. Bradleys married into the Clopton and Jarratt families; and, 5. The Rev. Devereux Jarratt (1733-1801) wrote "my uncle was the first who had that name (Devereux) in Virginia." The Rev. Devereux may have been named after Devereux Clopton, his "Clopton" Uncle, or he may have been speaking of Devereux Jarratt, his "Jarratt" uncle. See "Walking the Primrose Path," Volume I, for more on the Devereux family.

He married Cassandra Crump, daughter of Richard Crump. She was born Abt. April 29, 1720¹⁵.
There is no proof that Cassandra's last name is "Crump." There were many members of the Crump family attending St. Peter's Parish Church. However, no evidence has been submitted to date to further strengthen this Crump connection, although some descendants believe she was a member of the Crump family.

Notes:

Hello Mr. Harris,

I have documented my line to Robert Booth. His daughter, Ann, married William Clopton. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married (1) William Walker, their son, William, married Jane Bays (father Peter was a Huguenot/Manakin). Jane and William had a daughter named Lydia who married John Warren Jackson and on down to me. Would you like any of this information? I am always happy to share.

Do you know if Robert Booth's father came to Jamestown? I notice there is a Robert Booth on that list.

Sincerely,

Dee Redkevitch Atlanta, GA Dee Redkevitch [deezee97@mindspring.com]

In 1823, making just $400 per year, he would give away one-fourth of his salary to help others. A college graduate, Elder Clopton would spend the rest of his life preaching and raising funds to purchase books to give to less educated ministers. He seldom failed to answer letters and had a unique way of keeping track of which letters he had answered, and which he had not. See Ribbon of Names

6. Waldegrave¹⁹ Clopton II (Waldegrave¹⁸, William¹⁷, William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham)^26,27 was born November 11, 1755 in New Kent County, Virginia²⁸, and died Bet. August 6, 1804 and February 11, 1822 in Virginia, probably²⁹. He married Mary Brown³⁰, daughter of James B. Brown. She died Bef. August 6, 1804³¹.
Waldegrave Clopton was a Captain in the American Revolution. Although his military records have not been found, it is safe to say he probably entered service by 1776. He was a Captain by the time his younger brother, Thomas, joined him on the battlefield in early 1778. Thomas mentions him several times in his application to receive a pension for his service.
Children of Waldegrave Clopton and Mary Brown are:
+ 30 i. James Brown²⁰ Clopton, Sr, M.D., C.S.A., born in New Kent County, Virginia; died January 1865.
31 ii. Margaret Clopton, of New Kent County, Virginia. She married Winston Harwood.
32 iii. Miller Clopton³², died Aft. 1850 in Milledgeville, Baldwin County, possibly, Georgia³³. He married Obedience Tesseville February 13, 1825 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia³⁴.
In the first census of Georgia taken in 1820, a Miller Clopton is shown living in Captain Thomas Bustin's District of Putnam County. There are two white, males shown living in the house, one, aged 16 to 18 (born about 1802 to 1804), and one, aged 18 to 26 (born about 1794 to 1802). Since the census was taken before his marriage, the identify of the younger person is unknown. The census states he owned two slaves
+ 33 iv. Thomas B. Clopton, M.D., born May 7, 1798 in New Kent County, Virginia; died December 7, 1874 in Americus, Sumpter County, Georgia and buried Oak Grove Cemetery, Americus.
+ 34 v. William Clopton, of New Kent County, Virginia, born Abt. 1799; died Abt. August 10, 1855 in Richmond, Virginia and buried Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia on August 10, 1855 at the age of 56.
35 vi. Mary Brown Clopton³⁵. She married Jesse Wesley Yarbrough June 12, 1821 in Henrico County, Virginia³⁶.
+ 36 vii. Patrick Henry Clopton, Sr., born in New Kent County, Virginia; died May 19, 1829 in Henrico County, Virginia.
37 viii. Waldegrave Clopton, III., M.D.³⁷, born 1787³⁸; died November 8, 1832 in Wilkinson County, Georgia.
The Fourth Land Lottery, also known as the 1821 Lottery of Georgia, lists a Waldegrave Clopton living in Laurens County, Carsons Military District. He drew land in Dooly County, Lot 221, Section 16. Numerous records found in "Laurens County Georgia Legal Records, 1807-1832," indicate he was a physician and served as Justice of the Peace, in Laurens, however, documents in Wilkinson County reveal he later relocated to that county, although he continued to have business in Laurens. His obituary, which appeared in Milledgeville, Georgia's "Southern Recorder," dated November 15, 1832, page 3, reads:
DIED at his residence, in Wilkinson County, on the 8th inst., Dr. WALDEGRAVE CLOPTON, after an obstinate attack of fever, which lasted eight days. Dr. Clopton was in his 45th year of his age. He was a native of Virginia, and located himself in this State 15 years ago [about 1817]; and as a Physician, was universally liked. He has left a large circle of friends and acquaintances to lament his loss. His death is severely felt in his neighborhood. Dr. Clopton was a Univeralist in principle; and we believe he died strong in that faith."
The Monday, November 26, 1832 issue of Milledgeville's "Georgia Journal," carried a notice that Thomas Clopton applied for letters of administration on Waldegrave's estate. Copies of these notices, and others, are located in the Clopton Family Archives.

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.
Children of Alford Clopton, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent are:
+ 38 i. Pleasant Perrin²⁰ Clopton, born March 8, 1796 in Georgia; died January 18, 1877 in Greenville, Meriwether County, Georgia and buried at Old Providence Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, near Luthersville.
39 ii. George W. Clopton.
