$£~ 2L///32 f THE CLAY FAMILY ASSOCIATION P. O. Box 35254 Houston, Texas 77035 FOREWORD The Clay Family Association, a cooperative non-profit group, was formed in 1965 and is dedicated to the gathering, preserving and disseminating genealogical material on the many branches of the several Clay families. The Clay Family Quarterly exists solely to distribute the genealogical material to interested researchers. This volume of the Clay Family Quarterly should be regarded as a directory to the sources of Clay family information. As with all printed material, the information herein must be considered as secondary evidence, subject to proof. An index will be found following the fourth issue of this volume. The index lists Clay individual's forenames, allied surnames and place names. Happy hunting.

A publication of the Clay Family Association, G. R. Clay, Editor. Address: P. 0. Box 35254, Houston, Texas 77035 THE CLAY FAMILY QUARTERLY Volume 2 Number 1 . January 1967 THE EDITOR'S NOTES Publication of the quarterly was initiated one year ago with the stated purpose, '\o furnish genealogical Information to all bearers of the CLAY name and/or their descendants and to foster pride of family through knowledge of our common heritage." To a very limited degree we have accomplished this purpose, however, It is our sincere New Year's wish that, with your help, we will be able to reach many additional Clay descendants who are inter­ ested in their family origins. The success of the quarterly is in the hands of the membership, as indeed it should be. In addition to new members, we need all of the Clay family data you are willing to share. CLAY Name Origin— In the first issue of the quarterly the Scots version of the family name was shown to be evolved as: Lea to Mac 0 Lea to Maclay to Clay. Genealogists differ as to the origin of the family name, as the following quotation from L.W. Rigsby1s "The Georgia Branch of the Virginia Clays and Their Celebrated Cousins" will show: "Several localaties in England were named because of the nature of the soil about them, and some of the people in these localities took the name as their own. So there arose families called Clay, Cley, Le Cley, Del Clay and De la Clay. The name appears in the Hundred Rolls of 1273 under some curious forms worth quoting, as Cley, Clai, Del Clay, de la Cley and le Clay. A still more singular form of it appears on a record of 1327 as att Cleygh. The name dates from Saxon times, the Saxon equivalent being Claeg.'' The spelling of family names changed up until very recent times when they were established by law, or rather a change now requires a process of law. Whether or not the variations of Claes listed on page 13 evolved to Clay is open to question, however, one Clay correspondent states that his forebears arrived in America with the surname of Klee. WILL DURANT said it, "Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, steal­ ing, shouting and doing things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river." Genealogists would be the first to agree with this state­ ment, for their research deals with the teeming activity on the banks of the stream. FRONTIERSMEN CLAYS Even a brief research into county and local histories will reveal the adventureous spirit of the Clays. Individuals of the clan are recorded as being in the forefront of the westward expansion in this country, and many of them lost their lives in the struggle to push the frontier ever westward. In forthcoming issues of the quarterly we intend to retell as many of these stories as we are able to collect. If your branch of the family has a frontier history we will be glad of the opportunity to recount it. ORIGINAL IMMIGRANT CLAYS While much of the material published in the quarterly to date has dealt with the descendants of the Virginia Clays this is due to the fact that most of the data received has been on this branch of the family rather than any Intent to limit coverage. As previously stated we hope to be able to develop family connections for all of the original immigrants. In addition to John Claye 2-1, who arrived at Jamestown, Virginia prior to l6ll we have information on the following early arrivals from various sources. They will be considered as original immigrants unless further research reveals an error. William Clays, Charles River County, Virginia, I638; Francis Clay, Northumberland County, Virginia, 1649; Jon Clay, James City County, Virginia, 1646; Thomas Clay, Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, 1646; John Clay, Westmoreland County, Virginia. 1654; Stephen, Jonas and Thomas Clay, Salem, Mass­ achusetts, 1630-1640; Thomas Clay, Scinate, Massachusetts, 1643; Humphrey Clay, New London,Connecticut, 1666; Henry Clay, North Carolina, 1693; Robert Clay 2-30, Pennsylvania, early eighteenth century* Joseph Clay 2-20, Savannah, Georgia, mid eighteenth century. Any data or additions to this list will be appreciated. VIGNETTES While the family lineages, which have made up the bulk of the previous quarterlies, are important to the con­ sideration of family history they do not reveal traits and characteristics. Vignettes, the first of which appears in this issue, is an attempt to discover the Clay character. They will not be records of wealth and importance, but will attempt to reveal the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of our forebears characters. It has been said that he who brags of the accomplishments of his ancestors is admiting that they are better off dead than alive. We have no intention of compounding this error. TENNESSEE RESEARCH The editor spent three days, November 10-12, in the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, Tennessee doing research on all branches of his family history and,as expected,he obtained a considerable amount of data. Information on the Clay family will be published in forthcoming issues. A trip to this institution is well worthwhile for anyone having Tennessee connections. REMEMBER, help keep the quarterly worthwhile. Send in your data and family history information. Copies will be made and the originals returned unless you indicate otherwise. Also, help build up the membership of interested Clays and Clay descendants. Send all data and correspondence to: G. R. Clay, P. 0. Box 35254, Houston, Texas 77035.

FILSON CLUB PUBLICATIONS NO. 14 The Clay Family PART FIRST The Mother of Henry Clay Hon. ZACHARY F.

MORTON AND COMPANY Ttrinturs to TItb Filson ffiluh 1899 COPYRIGHTED BY THE FILSON CLUB 1899 PREFACE FEW elderly citizens yet living knew Henry Clay, A the renowned orator and statesman, and heard him make some of his greatest speeches. Younger per- sons who heard him not, nor saw him while living, have learned much of him through his numerous biog- raphers and from the mouths of others who did know him. Most that has been known of him, however, by either the living or the dead, has concerned his political career. For the purpose of securing votes for him among the masses in his candidacy for different offices he has been represented by his biographers as being of lowly origin in the midst of impecunious surroundings. Such, however, was not the condition of his early life. He was of gentle birth, with parents on both sides possessing not only valuable landed estates and numer- ous slaves, but occupying high social positions.

    Consumption and Compromise: Illness and Its Impact on the Political Career of Henry Clay

    Journal of the Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science Volume 2 (no. 1) 2020 https://journals.troy.edu/index.php/JSAHMS/ Consumption and Compromise: Illness and Its Impact on the Political Career of Henry Clay David Petriello Lecturer, Department of History, Caldwell University, Caldwell, New Jersey, United States Email: [email protected] Abstract Henry Clay’s nearly fifty years of public service coincided with the social, economic, and territorial growth of the Early Republic. Though much has been made of the influences of geography and political philosophy on his accomplishments, little has been done in addressing the role played by his own health and various illnesses of the era. Disease and personal health issues were perhaps the greatest natural allies, catalysts, and limiting agents of Henry Clay’s accomplishments. Ill health helped to start his career under the tutelage of George Wythe, the deaths of his daughters while undertaking the seasonal journey from Kentucky to Congress pushed his ideas on internal improvements, and disease collided with several of his campaigns for the presidency. This article focuses on the personal letters of Henry Clay and those around him to discern their views on the various illnesses of his day and gauge their impact on his career. Keywords: United States, Henry Clay, public health Henry Clay once claimed that he would, “rather be right than be president,” a desire that would, perhaps unfortunately, come true for the indefatigable politician. Perhaps because of this he has largely been forgotten by the American public. Despite this, his nearly fifty years of public service spanned the most important events in the history of the early Republic, including the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, the U.S.-Mexican War, and the various compromises that helped to slow the descent of the nation towards civil war.

    2020–21 Commencement Program

    Commencement UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER MAY 6, 2021 One Hundred Forty-Fifth Year of the University NORLIN CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES The first commencement at the University of Colorado was held for six graduates on June 8, 1882, in the chapel of Old Main. It was not until 40 years later, on September 4, 1922, that the first summer commencement was held. Since the first commencement in 1882, the University of Colorado Boulder has awarded more than 350,000 degrees. The traditional Norlin Charge to the graduates was first read by President George Norlin to the June 1935 graduating class. You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university. She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters. This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit. The university is not the campus, not the buildings on campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence, and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you. Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work.

    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.
