First Families of Clay County

This First Families section is for ancestors that lived in Clay County prior to 1900. If you have ancestors that you would like to have posted, all you have to do is send me the information. You can send it to me in a .rtf, .txt, .doc, .html format. (Usually Family Tree Maker and other similar programs use .rtf files)

If you have a genealogy web site of your County Ancestors, let me know and I will add a link on "Personal Genealogy Sites" so that others may visit. You MUST let me know that you are sending a file prior to sending it. I do not open attachments from unknown sources.

If you see a picture that is very small, it is a "thumbnail" picture. Click on the picture for a larger view.

Use these family pages as a springboard for your research. I have made no attempts to verify the accuracy of the information submitted. If you find what you believe to be errors, please contact the submitter. 

Please do NOT submit any information on living people, I do not post that information. It is too dangerous to post names of living people, even if the information listed says "Private". I use 1920 as the cut-off year for births. 

1855 Diary Transcription of a trip to Florida

This list of Clay County Pioneers and their descendants was extracted from a pdf file from the Florida State Genealogical Society that was current as of January 2010. Pioneers for whom there is a family history narrative, family group sheet, photos or other information on this site will be linked to that information. It should be understood that this list is not a definitive list of Clay County Pioneers. It is comprised just of those Clay County Pioneers whose descendants have applied for and been awarded either a State or County Pioneer Certificate.
