Individual Details
William Clopton
(19 Nov 1714 - )
The Parish Records of St Peters include the birth of Mary, daughter of William & Cassandra Clopton on 13 Nov 1736, bapt on 5 Jan 1737; and Walter, son of William & Cassandra born 29 Apr 1739, bapt May 27. This appears to be this William as the sons of Robert and William named William were too young, unless the uncle William married a second time.
However, a Clopton article in The William and Mary Quarterly, states that William married Elizabeth Dorrall Ford, sister of Rev. Reuben Ford and had the following children:
Robert, eldest, will dated 17 Apr 1783, Cumberland Co, proved 22 Apr 1793 - died without issue.
John, b. St. Peter's Parish, New Kent, 7 Feb 1756
