CLAYTON.  She was born April 14, 1791 in South Carolina, and died May 01, 1874 in Cedar Bluff, Simpson Co., Ky.

*Birth place is also shown as Bedford, VA. in LDS records and death place is shown as Warren County, KY which makes sense since he shows up in the court records several times in that county.
