Volume 2 Number 3 July 1967

THE EDITOR'S NOTES The twenty-four pages of this issue make it the largest issue yet published. There are, however, too many blank spaces (sorry about that), but your editor can only publish the data available. The long lists of individuals without dates, name of spouse and issue can make boring reading, but if they offer a clue to a forebears identity they will have served their purpose. If you have data on any of the individuals listed please send it to the editor for inclusion in the Clay Family Register. As requested, we are supplying the following information on the purchase of copies of r'Genealogy of Joseph Peck and Some Related Families". The book is available from the author, George Braden Roberts, 2853 Ontario Road, NW, Apt. 522, Washington, D. C. 20009, price $10.00. The editor's copy has been placed in the Houston Public Library. Again we are Indebted to Robert Young Clay, our most prolific contributor of data, for information on the book Adventures of Purse and Person", much of the Virginia marriages data and information regarding the Thomas Hart Clay Bible. Such cooperation is sincerely appreciated by the editor and will be appreciated by future generations of Clays. The cemetery records furnished by Mrs Mantel Clay are among the most difficult to obtain. We appreciate her efforts and take this opportunity to again ask that you furnish any such records you presently have or can obtain. As we have written to several of you,it is the editor's fondest hope that one day The Clay Family Quarterly will be the most complete source book available on all of the branches of the Clay family. This would be an impossible goal without the assistance of the members of the association and their willingnes to share their Clay data. Writing about the family of , the statesman, editor Calvin Colton wrote, "The descendants of the original Virginia stock, numerous and widely dispersed, many of which still reside in Virginia and Kentucky, have branched so extensively^that their common origin is scarcely recognized among themselves. The Works of Henry Clay" G. P. Putnam, New York 1904. Colonel James Edmond Saunders, himself a Clay descendant, writing about the Clay family in his "Early Settlers of Alabama" wrote the following in 1899: " people who are poor and have no pride in the past or hope in the future seldom keep their family records carefully." We would only question his use of the word poor in this connection and would rephrase the statement —people, rich or poor, who have no pride . Perhaps, together we can correct both statements.
