Samuel Clayton-42 [Parents] was born about 1791 in Rushden, Northamptonshire, England. He married Rebekah Crane-43 on 20 Apr 1813 in Farndish, Bedfordshire, England.
BIRTH information from Gordon Cox, who bases his data on Kathryn Clayton's notes made at the NRO (Delapre Abbey) in the 1980s. This lists his marriage as being in Rushden, but IGI says otherwise.
MARRIAGE from IGI, no details other than date, place and names of parties. There is not proof that this Samuel is the same one as the father of John, but it is quite possible, though from the date of his marriage and the date of his son's birth he was getting on in years at his birth. A 1874 directory tells the story of a Samuel Clayton who in 1822 was given the sum of 3 sh 6d. to buy shoes by the Overseer of the poor for Rushden, no certainty that this story applies to this SC.
