Information about the 1726 christening of "Thomas Clayton" was provided by the Staffordshire Record Office to the George Clayton Family Organization on 13 January 2021, who extracted the christening from the Bishops Transcripts for Fairfield, Derbyshire (SRO # B/V/7/1/278/1), and transcribed the Latin entry of "Tho fil Thomae Clayton bapt 26 die Feb 1725 [ie 1725/1726]" which translates as "Thomas son of Thomas Clayton was baptised 26th February 1725/1726". Also, the christening of "Thomas Clayton" is listed in the publication "George Clayton, 1810-1861, Roots and Shoots" by Gloria H. Jensen (1983, pages 122-124), which states that he was christened on 26 February 1725 in Fairfield, Derbyshire, England . Note: In her publication Gloria states that this information comes from the "Bishop's Transcripts" for "Fairfield, Derbyshire" that covered the period "1678-1812" and which was held by the "Dioceasen Registry" in "Lichfield, Staffordshire, England", and that the records from 1678 to about 1738 were "missing [and] not included in those filmed by the Genealogical Society" but "were searched by Carma Moore while [she was] in England" in 1969 who then sent such information to Gloria.
The approximate birth of "Margaret Clayton" is listed in the publication "George Clayton, 1810-1861, Roots and Shoots" by Gloria H. Jensen (1983, pages 122-124), which states that she was born "about 1736" and was of "Fairfield, Derbyshire, England". Note: In her publication Gloria states that this information comes from the "Bishop's Transcripts" for "Fairfield, Derbyshire" that covered the period "1678-1812" and which was held by the "Dioceasen Registry" in "Lichfield, Staffordshire, England", and that the records from 1678 to about 1738 were "missing [and] not included in those filmed by the Genealogical Society" but "were searched by Carma Moore while [she was] in England" in 1969 who then sent such information to Gloria.
"Edward Clayton, junior" was probably the son of "Edward Clayton the elder"--who is mentioned in the following document: The 1665 Will and Inventory of "Edward Clayton" was obtained from the Staffordshire Record Office in December 2020. The Will is dated 27 October 1665, the Inventory of goods is dated November 30, 1665, and the Will may have been Probated on 22 November 1666. In his Will, Edward Clayton is listed as being "Edward Clayton the elder of Buxton in the County of Derbie [Derby] yeoman", that his wife was "Mary", that he had "children" and "Daughters" and "my son Anthonie Clayton", and that he was to be "buried in the chappell of Fairfield". The Will was witnessed by "John Clayton" and "Thomas Clayton". Note: "Edward Clayton, senior" is listed in the "Index of Wills - Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, 1600-1790", dated 22 November 1666 (via the online Staffordshire Name Indexes: https://www.staffsnameindexes.org.uk/), which states that he was a "yeoman" of "Buxton, Derbyshire".
Research Note: "Edward Clayton, junior" was not mentioned in the 1665 Will of his father, "Edward Clayton the elder of Buxton", possibly because Wills during this time period sometimes "Omit[ted] the name of the eldest son who received his inheritance according to law".

"Edward Clayton of Cowdale within the pish [parish] of Bakewel [Bakewell] and [in the] County of Darby [Derbyshire, a] Husbandman late deceased" is listed in his "Inventory" of goods, dated 25 October 1711. "Edward Clayton late of Cowdale aforesaid deceased" is listed in his "Administration", dated 3 June 1712, by "Dorothy Clayton", his "Widow" who was also "of Cowdale". Note: Dorothy Clayton, the widowed wife of Edward Clayton, is also listed in his Administration as "Dorothea" or "Dorothee".
"Edward Clayton late of Cowdale aforesaid deceased" is listed in his "Administration", dated 3 June 1712, by "Dorothy Clayton", his "Widow" who was also "of Cowdale". Note: Dorothy Clayton, the widowed wife of Edward Clayton, is also listed in his Administration as "Dorothea" or "Dorothee".
Information for this family was obtained from a Family Group Record prepared by Gloria H. Jensen (444 North 400 East, Brigham City, Utah, 84302) in 1982.
The Family Group Record on Edward Clayton and Martha Swinscow prepared by Gloria H. Jensen (of 444 North 400 East, Brigham City, Utah, 84302) in 1982 states the following: "Family [of Edward Clayton] returned from Stockport 16 Apr 1797 to Fairfield to live on property willed to husband by his father."
Research Note: According to the 1983 book "George Clayton, 1810-1861, Roots and Shoots" (pages 117 and 128; see FHL book # US/CAN, Q: 929.273, C579j), Martha Swinscow was born in about "1759 of Fairfield, Derbyshire, England" to an "Anne Swinscow," who was supposedly christened on 28 January 1731/2 in Fairfield as the daughter of David Swinscow and Ann White. This assumption is supposedly supported by genealogical information contained in the "Bishop's Transcripts for Fairfield, 1678-1812, at Registry, Lichfield, Staff." However, on August 9, 2001, researchers could only locate a Martha Swinscow who was christened in Fairfield on 3 December 1758 (FHL Film # 1041011) and who was listed as the daughter of a "Mary Swinscow"--NOT an Anne Swinscow--and that this Mary Swinscow (who also had a son named "Love Swinscow" who was christened on 6 June 1762 in Fairfield) is probably not the daughter of a David Swinscow and Ann White of Fairfield. Therefore, additional research is needed to verify the parentage and ancestry of Martha Swinscow.

Also, the parish register for Biddulph (FHL Film # 1278828) states the following about the christening of John Brough: "1749 Nov 6, John son of Martha Brough widdow." Note: After Ralph Brough died in 1743, Martha Holland--known as "Martha Brough, widow"--apparently had two more children christened at St. Lawrence, Biddulph, Staffordshire: Richard Brough, chr. 23 August 1747, and John Brough, chr. 6 November 1749. However, no father is listed. (Sources: IGI LDS Ordinance Index, December 2000; and letter from Jim Brough of Stoke-on-Trent to the RBFO on 4 January 2001.)

Research Note: On December 31, 2009, Eileen Hallam provided the following information to the Brough Family Organization: "As you know, Jonathan's children's baptisms do not give the mother's name. I have just obtained copies of the court documents regarding the insolvency of his son-in-law, Thomas Hughes in 1819. In them is a reference to a sum of money owing to his mother-in-law, Mary Blough (sic). This would add strength to the argument that the marriage of John Brough to Mary Williams refers to Jonathan."
