John Clayton was born circa 1750 at Perquimans County.²

John Clayton married Susan Sutton circa 1783 at Perquimans County, North Carolina. She may have previously been married to an older brother of John Clayton, so it could be that her name was Susan Clayton at the time of her marriage to John Clayton. John and Susan Clayton were probably separated by 1797, and may have separated even a few years earlier.² During a court session October 1795, John Clayton acknowledged a land sale to Russel Armstrong at Tyrrell County, North Carolina. Also, in this same session, the court ordered that William Clayton be appointed overseer of the road in the "Roome" (place?) "and district of John Clayton."³

Allegedly, John Clayton and Betsy Jarman (whose surname was also sometimes given as German) lived together in Clayton's house from January 1800 until at least some time in 1813. They were said to have had "several" children, including two who were legitimized by an act of the North Carolina legislature.^2,4

John Clayton was fatally shot on the night of 23 August 1814 at Tyrrell County, North Carolina. An individual named Barney Jones was convicted of murder in conjunction with John Clayton's death. Jones was executed by hanging (apparently in early 1815). This shooting appears to have been the culmination of a dispute between John Clayton and Barney Jones that extended over a several-month time period. Other persons were indicted in conjunction with John Clayton's death (some as assessories and some for perjury for testimony given at a trial related to the case), but it is unclear if there were any additional convictions.^8,9

Personal property belonging to the estate of John Clayton was inventoried and sold in the autumn of 1814. An estate sale was held on 22 Oct 1814. Items listed in the inventory and the sale list included: 1 horse, sheep, cows, tools, furniture, farming implements, tools, and housewares (this is not a complete list, some items omitted here for brevity and some because the handwriting could not be deciphered). at Tyrrell County, North Carolina. Persons recorded as purchasing items at the estate sale included: Joseph Godfrey, Thomas Sykes, William Liverman, Bets Jarman, Thomas Liverman, Isaac Sawyer and Joab Sawyer. The amounts received for sales items are listed in units of dollars and cents. The total proceeds from sale were about $245. The horse brought the largest amount (about $35) with a lot of cows, yearlings, and a bull bringing in the second largest amount (about $24). A lot of beds, furniture, and a table apprears to have brought $21.55. The word "lot" is used here in the sense of a collection of items sold together as if they were a set or a single unit.⁸

On 19 August 1809, Joseph Sawyer, Josiah Jarman, Henry Jarman, Abel Sawyer, and Samuel Sexton were recipients of a land grant of 65 acres on the east side of the Great Alligator River, opposite the north end of Wipping Creek Lake, in Tyrrell County, North Carolina. The tract was in the shape of a seven-sided polygon. The description in the survey report seems to imply that at least part of the westernmost boundary of the tract was adjacent to land owned by John Simmons (or perhaps it was adjacent to land surveyed by John Simmons). The sketch in the survey report is drawn in a conventional manner with north at the top of the sheet. This was Grant No. 829, Warrant No. 74. The grant was originally entered 4 September 1808. The land on the east side of the Great Alligator River is now (as this is written in 2016) within Dare County. Dare County was formed in the second half of the 1800s. Certain land east of the Great Alligator River was transferred from Tyrrell County to Dare County at that time.^1,2

Her address was listed as 2017 York (or perhaps West York), Spokane. The brief newspaper report of her death said only it had occurred at "a local hospital". She was said to have lived in Spokane for 25 years at the time of her death. The death certificate indicates she last worked at her occupation (housewife) on 15 Nov 1934, about 3 weeks prior to her death. This may indicate the length of her final illness.^7,8,4 She was buried at Riverside Park, Spokane, Washington.⁴

Lucile Cameron was born circa 1902 in Washington.^2,1

The 7-year-old son was listed as attending school after September 1, 1929. Austin was listed as employed and working as a dispenser at a malted milk shop. No employment or occupation was listed for Lucile. Austin was incorrectly listed on the census form as not being a military veteran (it is possible the person supplying the information was not aware of his military service, or did not realize he could be a "war veteran" even though he had apparently never been stationed outside the United States during his service between 1917 and 1919).⁴

Lucile Cameron appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of at Everett, at Snohomish County, Washington at 35232 Wetmore Avenue, enumerated 2 April 1940.

Mary (--?--) was born circa 1883 in Russia.¹

Mary (--?--) immigrated circa 1899 to the United States.¹

Mary (--?--) married Nicholas Slobodien.¹

Mary (--?--) and Nicholas Slobodien appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of South River, Middlesex, New Jersey at 60 Whitehead Avenue, enumerated 5 January 1920. The home was listed as owned and mortgaged. The official date of that census was 01 January 1920. Their children John Slobodien, Ann Slobodien, Michael Slobodien and Peter Slobodien were listed as living with them. All members of the household were listed as being able to read and write. No children were listed as attending school.

Ann was apparently several years older than him and he seems to be only about 14 years older than the oldest child in the household. It is possible some of the older children in their household in the 1920 census were her children from prior to their marriage, even though that census record indicates all the children were using the Slobodien surname.¹

All of the children listed in the 1920 census are shown with the surname Slobodien. However, given the age of the children, relative to the age of Nichalos Slobodien, it seems possible that at least some of them may be her children from an earlier marriage -- or an earlier relationship. The three children seem to have been given the same "middle name" of Schemick. This might be a clue to the surname of an earlier husband of Mary's.

Two of the sons of Byron Fields and Lelia Moore Smith, Daryl Eugene Fields and Leroy W. Fields, were injured in a serious truck accident near Hebron, Nebraska, during the early morning hours of 6 July 1948; Daryl's injuries were fatal.

They were transporting two farm tractors and other farm machinery in a flat-bed tractor and semi-trailer rig from Luverne to Medford, Oklahoma. They had left Luverne about 5 PM on Monday, July 5th. The accident took place around 2:50 AM. At that time, Daryl was driving, while Leroy was sleeping inside an army sleeping bag under one of the tractors on the semi-trailer.

Daryl is believed to have fallen asleep while driving. The rig ran into a deep ditch, likely killing Daryl instantly (a newspaper article describing the accident suggested the rig may also have sheared off a wooden utility pole alongside the highway and noted that the accident took place at one of the relatively few locations in that stretch of highway where a deep ditch is alongside the road). A heavy-duty wrecker had to be brought in to remove the wrecked trailer (and its load) in order to reach the cab containing Daryl's body. The article refers to Leroy W. Fields as Roy Fields.
