Does anyone have a record of Mary Clayton who married Thomas Clayborne in
Virginia near Petersburg,
probably in the mid 1700s. I know that this isn't much to go on but it is
all that I have.They had a daughter Elizabeth who married Thomas Woodlief.
Elizabeth and Thomas are my g-g-g grandparents. Any information would be
greatly appreciated.
