The Clay Family.

An old letter written in lS4S, by the late
Rev. Porter Clay-then preaching at Alton,
H., gives the following facts in regard to the
origin of the Clay family:
Your wishes to know something about the
history of our family could not be gratfed
within the limits Of a letter. The following
concise account must suffice In the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth, Sir Walter Raleigh (who at
that time was great favorite of her Majesty,
though afterwards put to death by her order)
brought over to the Virginia plantations,
among others, three brothers, sons of Sir
John Clay Of Wales, England. He gave them
$1,000 each, which was very large for
tune at that time. Their names were Charles,
Thomas and Henry. They settled on James
river, near jamestown. Two Of them, Chas.
and Thomas, had large families. Henry had
no children. The name Henry has been
handed down in both branches Of the family
with great tenacity ever since. Cassius Nj.
Clay (of whom you haveno doubt heard, for
he made considerable stir in the East du-
ring the last Presidential canvass) is q de-
scendant of Charles Clay Henry and my
self from Thomas Clay. Thus the two broth
ers above alluded to are the progenitors OF
| all the Clays in the United States.

died in early life, leaving seven children

died without children, with the exception Of
Henry and myself. My mother was married
the second time, and raised family Of six
children, two Of whom arc still living-Na-
thaniel w. Watkins and Frank Watkins. re-

sons. The daughters are all dead, and one

with their mothers connections in Louisville.
Three Of my brothers. sons are settled near
