Clinton, Catherine, Tara
Revisited, Women, War, & the Plantation Legend, Abbeville Press, New
York, 1995. ISBN: 1-55859-491-4. While the book contains many
fascinating details, it is seriously marred because the author has a bias
against slave owners. At every
opportunity she dismisses the possibility that a happy relationship between
master and slave could ever exist.
Discussions of relationships between white employers and black employees
also fell victim to this concept.
Clopton, Ann Gunn & Jack
Barnett Wiley, Sr., M.D. Collection, Clopton Family Archives. This collection contains Bible records

entries as “Bible purchased by Benjamin M. Clopton in 1804. Price $10.00.” It was copied in 1933. The information appears to have been
added through the years by many hands.
It is not clear if all four pages came from the same Bible. There is no cover sheet. The earliest records date from 1759,
the latest, 1846. It is not known
who has possession of the original Bible.
Clopton, Cordelia Belle, Collection, Clopton Family
Archives. Contains a twenty page,
typed transcript of The Clopton Family, originally handwritten by Miss
Clopton, probably in the early 1900’s.
A cover letter dated March 19, 1952, by “Peggy,” on Builders’ Exchange
of Richmond, Virginia, explains that “Peggy” made the transcript from Miss
Clopton’s original papers. There
is a J. K. Perrin identified on the letterhead as a Vice President, so possibly
“Peggy” is a Clopton descendant through the Perrins. She notes that an “Aunt Mary” worked with “Cousin Belle” on
the project. There are some
mistakes, and the work, like any secondary source, requires further
evidence. Also in the collection
are several letters she wrote.
Compiled from collections located at the Virginia Historical Society at
Richmond, the John D. Rockefeller Library at Colonial Williamsburg, Duke
University, Georgia State Archives, Museum of the Confederacy, and Clopton
Family descendants.

Clopton Family Newsletter Privately Printed by the Clopton Family
Association. The issues are very
interesting and enjoyable when relating to matters of immediate family concerns
and activities. However, the
newsletters have little to offer genealogists and historians. Full identification is often lacking
when births, marriages and deaths are noted, making it impossible to connect
the individuals within the family tree.
Seldom are sources cited in the educational articles, and even then, the
references are very vague. Copies

below), changing only the format, and making no corrections to her work. However, Mr. Clopton’s book features

Clopton, James Guy and Melissa Tennessee Neil
Collection, Clopton Family Archives.
Consists of a tinted photograph taken on their wedding day and three
pages from the Family Bible. There
is no cover sheet. Much of the
information appears to have been entered by one hand using the same pen. The date and place of death of Guy and
Melissa was made in a different hand, therefore we may assume the Bible
belonged to this couple. The place
of birth of all the children, except Cecil, was given as “Mourissi.” Later someone attempted to correct the
spelling by overwriting and came up with several more creative ways to spell
Missouri. The only recorded death
was that of Elves Clopton.

Auburn University by Lois Eulalia (Armstrong) Goocher. Copy of the original pages consists of
four pages with many entries by different hands. The earliest entry is dated 1839, the latest, 1898. Some sections were cut out of the
original Bible by a descendant. A
copy of the Bible was donated by Mrs. Goocher to the Clopton Family
Archives. The collection also
contains a color photograph of a letter donated by Mrs. Goocher written by
James Waldegrave Clopton to his uncle, Dr. Thomas B. Clopton.
Clopton,
John Papers, 1629 (1775-1897) 1915, Collection Number 1115, 11,890 items and 26
volumes, is located in the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections
Library, Manuscript Department, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina and
includes: Family correspondence
and miscellaneous papers of four generations of the Clopton family and three
generations of the Wallace family. The papers from 1629 to 1732 are
genealogical records, much of it inaccurate. Papers of John Clopton
(1756-1816), Virginia legislator and U.S. Representative, 1795-1799, 1801-1816,
contain comments on the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress, Jay's
Treaty, the Alien and Sedition Acts, politics in the Jeffersonian Republican
Party, the Embargo Act, American relations with France, and the fear of a slave
insurrection. Letters to a son, John Bacon Clopton (b. 1785), Virginia judge, pertain
to the operation of a plantation in New Kent County. Correspondence of Charles
Montriou Wallace, Sr. (1825-1910), Richmond merchant, includes accounts of an
overland journey to California, 1849, and subsequent residence there;
Confederate trade with Nassau and England; Reconstruction in the South; the
writer's early life in Richmond; politics in Richmond and Virginia; travels in
England, Scotland, and the South; literary pursuits, especially book
collection, and other matters. Also of interest are letters of William Manson
Wallace, Jr., describing life in the U.S. Navy, 1845; letters of Jefferson
Wallace (1823-1864) describing a journey to California by way of Panama, and
from St. George, Bermuda, concerning a secret mission for the Confederate government;
Civil War letters from William Izard Clopton, and others from his mother, Maria
(Foster) Clopton, wife of John B. Clopton; letters from the Crenshaw commission
firm in Richmond concerning wartime and postwar business conditions; letters of
Jefferson Wallace (b. 1864), concerning the publishing, fertilizer, and

Clopton, John Bacon and Maria
Gaitskell Foster Collection, Clopton Family Archives. In 1961, Louise
Adelaide (Henderson) Brodie, began to seek information on her maternal grandparents,
Namee Clopton and William George Henderson. The Clopton Family Archives has obtained a collection of
correspondence with attachments relating to her search dating from November 7,
1961 through December 8, 1971.
This correspondence constitutes much of the Collection. Mrs. Rutherford Goodwin, Research
Associate, Colonial Williamsburg, Henrietta Runyon Winfrey (Mrs. Hermon
Winfrey), Richmond, and Eleanor S. Brockenbrough, Assistant Director, Confederate
Museum, Richmond were her primary correspondents. The collection features copies of original Civil War era
hospital records and letters, including a letter from Mrs. Davis, the wife of
President Jefferson Davis, to Mrs. Clopton. Compiled from collections located at the Virginia Historical
Society at Richmond, the John D. Rockefeller Library at Colonial Williamsburg,

In a letter dated Thursday, February 28, 1980, from the Reid Collection
at the Eatonton-Putnam County Historical Society, she writes in part, "The
Bible itself is about to fall apart.
I really do hate to have it rebound because it will destroy its
originality but I'm afraid not to.
The paper is also quite brittle.
But then it is 153 years old.
It is interesting that a piece of paper is glued over the name of Joseph
A. Reid, b Aug 8, 1828 d. June 15, 1829.
Evidently he was a twin of Alexander J. Reid and their mother was Andrew
Reids first wife Mariah who died shortly after the birth of the
twins." There are four pages
of records. The entries were made
over time by several hands. The
earliest date is 1787, the latest, 1917.
James Penick Marshall, Jr., President, Eatonton-Putnam County Historical
Society contributed a copy of this Bible to the Clopton Family Archives.

until 1959, were titled The Complete Peerage or A History of the House of

scholars, notably, The Hon. Vicary Gibbs, Geoffrey H. White, and R. S. Lea,

considered an excellent source, although some information has been discredited

verify the material using such highly regarded books as Weis’ Magna Charta
