It sounds like your information was taken from Raymond Martin Bell's "A Study of The Claytons of Monmouth County, New Jersey." A more recent study by Mary J. and Matthew Hilt Murphy, "Origins of John Clayton of Shrewsbury and Burlington, New Jersey, 1603-1704," indicates that Bell may have been mistaken. The Murphy's believe the family line is as follows:
- Robert de Clayton (Accompanied William the Conquerer to England)
- William de Clayton (d 1141)
- Robert de Clayton
- William de Clayton (d 1152, married Elizabeth Farrington)
- Robert de Clayton (m 1151)
- John de Clayton (d 1209)
- Thomas de Clayton
- John de Clayton (m 1263, d 1280)
- Ralph I
- John (d 1399)
- John (d 1404)
- Thomas (d 1426, m Dorothy Thelwell)
- John (b 1419, m Mary Mainwaring, m 1445 Jane Clifton)
- Thomas (b 1442)
- Robert (Raphe)de Clayton (bc 1475, d 1510, mc 1496 Jane Farrington)
- John II (b 1499, d 1585, m Mary)
- Rafe (Ralf) (bc 1560, mc 1590 Ann Challoner
- Richard (b 1601, mc 1622)
- John (b 1630, d 1704, m1 ??, m2 1661 Alice Myers/Meires, m3 1669 Alice Cooke?, m4 Sarah)
The ancestors from Richard on back are based on an article in a British journal, THE GENEALOGIST, New Series, Vol 26, London, George Ball & Sons, 1900, pp 129-142. I came across both the Murphy's study and a copy of THE GENEALOGIST during a visit this past summer to the Family History Library.
