Notes:

Walter¹⁷ Clopton, The Elder, of "Callowell" (William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham)¹ was born Abt. 1687 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died Aft. 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.
Children of Walter Clopton and Mary Jarratt are:
+ 2 i. Ann¹⁸ Clopton, of New Kent, born July 3, 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia.
+ 3 ii. William Clopton, Am. Rev., of New Kent, born November 19, 1714 in New Kent County, Virginia; died 1785.
+ 4 iii. Elizabeth Clopton, of New Kent, born 1715 in New Kent County, Virginia; died in probably North Carolina.
5 iv. Mary Clopton, of New Kent, born August 29, 1716⁴.
6 v. Walter Clopton, I, of Virginia, born March 24, 1719/20⁵; died Abt. 1721.
7 vi. Robert Clopton, of Virginia, born June 4, 1725⁶.
8 vii. Devereaux Clopton, of New Kent, born August 30, 1727⁷.

. 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.
Children of Ann Clopton and Benjamin Bradley are:
14 i. James¹⁹ Bradley, of Possom Run.
+ 15 ii. Walter Bradley, of Long Bridge.
16 iii. Elizabeth Bradley.

William¹⁸ Clopton, Am. Rev., 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 November 19, 1714 in New Kent County, Virginia¹³, and died 1785¹⁴. 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.

Margaret¹⁸ 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)²¹ was born September 9, 1728 in New Kent, Virginia²¹, and died 1824 in Buckingham County, Virginia²¹.

He was born September 28, 1751 in Dinwiddie County, Virginia²³, and died April 12, 1804 in Virginia²³.
Why would Margaret marry a fifteen year old boy when she was 38? This type of arrangement did happen from time to time, even in those days, but could it be that Margaret is actually a daughter of one of the males listed as her brother?
