Excerpt from William Clayton's Journal, 1921: A Daily Record of the Journey of the Original Company of Mormon
The Claytons of England originally came from France. During the time when William the Conqueror and King Harold were quarreling, a call came from the former for volunteers among his Chieftains to go to war. A man named Robert was among those who responded. Robent was skilled in arms.
After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, in which Rob bert rendered heroic service, William the Conqueror con ferred upon him the English Manor of Clayton as a mark of merit. Robert was afterwards known as Robert de Clayton and Lord of the Manor of Clayton. From Lord Robent Clayton came all the Claytons of England and America and by genealogical research, the line has been brought down to the subject of this sketch.
