    Clay Family Is One of the Oldest in This County" Article Was Published 26 Aug

    Clay Family Article Clay Family Article, 1950 "Clay Family Is One Of The Oldest In This County" Article was published 26 Aug. 1950 in the 1950 Centennial Edition of the Beckley Post-Herald. Reprinted by permission. The Clay family is one of the oldest in America. Members of this family resided in what is now Raleigh County even before it's foundation 100 years ago and have figured prominently through the years of the county's existence. John Clay, an ancient planter, came to Virginia in 1613, and his wife, Ann, in 1623. It is claimed by some that he came from Wales, but the best authority is that he was English. It is known that he had three sons, whose names, according to some, were Henry, William, and Charles, while others state that he had four sons, Francis, William, Thomas, and Charles. At any rate from the sons of John Clay descended most of the Virginia Clays. There was a Clay family also in Surrey County at an early date, and it is probable that the names of this family in the early records has caused the confusion as to the names of John Clay's children. --Large Land Owner Clay was a large land proprietor in Charles City County. The early colonial records show that he was granted a patent for 1,200 acres on Ward's Creek, fronting on James River, in that part of that county which later became Prince George County - 100 acres to him as an old planter before the government of Sir Thomas Dale, and the other 1,100 acres for the transportation of twenty-two persons.
