On the night of the 24th

DIED, On the night of the 24th of December last, in the county of New Kent, Mrs. MARTHA CLOPTON, wife of Rev. James Clopton, in the 61st year of her age. Sister Clopton had been for forty years a member of the Baptist church. In all the relations of life, she manifested the sincerity of her profession. As a minister's wife, she was a bright example; ever ready and willing to make any sacrifice to promote the usefulness of her husband. As a mother, she was most affectioinate and tender. As a mistress, kind and forbearing, almost to a fault. As a neighbor, she was always ready to discharge the obligation imposed upon her by that relation. The community in which she lived has sustained a severe loss in her death, and especially the church to which she belonged. She ever felt a deep interest in the prosperity of Zion. But a few weeks before her death, she remarded that the condition of the Church of Christ gave her more unhappiness than any thing else. She could cheerfully give up a beloved son to go far hence to the Gentiles, that he might labor for the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom; and when the melancoholy tidings of the sudden and unexpect death of that son rreached her ears, she could meekly bow her head in submission to the diviine will: but when she thought of the low estate of Zion, her heart was troubled, and she could adopt the languate of the prophet, and say, "Oh that my head werre waters." But now her prayers and her tears and all her sorrows have ceased, and we may say,

"Dearest Sister, thou hast left, us -

Here they loss we deeply feel;

But 'tis God that hath bereft us -

He can all our sorrows heal."

Turpin²⁰³; born in Virginia, and was a member of Four Mile Creek Baptist Church, New Kent County, Virginia.

ELDER S. C. CLOPTON.

We this week have the painful duty to discharge of announcing the death of one of our missionaries, brother S. C. Clopton. He died at Canton, China, on the 7th July, after an illness of ten days, leaving an afflicted widow and child.

This is indeed a mournful bereavement. In June, 1816, he left our city, buoyant with health, and fondly hoping that he might have the high privilege of proclaiming the Saviour he loved, as a sure refuge to the perishing heathen. Young, ardent, long to be useful, blessed with a grand constitution, he might naturally have expected a long and useful career. He was only permitted, however, to give for a brief space of the vast field before him, to survey the magnitute of the enterprise on which he was entering, and to feel the full responsibility of being a messenger of glad tidings to those countless millions, ere he is summoned to a higher and -?- sphere of enjoyment. His sojornge amongst the Chinese had been too brief to permit him to acquire the language, and he therefore was debarred from the privilege of preaching Christ and him crucified to that -?- nation; yet he was -?- engaged in preparing himself for this ardeous duty; and by his presence in their midst, he evinced an interest in their welfare, and a readiness to spend and be spent in their service.

We sympathize with the Board and the Convention in this afflicting event. Just entering on a new and responsible work, one of the few agents on whom they depended to carry out their plans, and give stately to their enterprise, is suddently and unexpectedly removed, and another -?- by -?-. These are discouraging -?- well fitted to try our faith and love. God has said that the heathen shall be given to his Son for an inheritance; and the promise must and will be fulfilled. Adverse events are sometimes permitted to -?- -?- fidelity to the cause, and indeed a stronger -?????- the great Head of the Church. Others -??????- efforts, yet have gloriously succeeded - The Hindus -?-, the Germans, the Greenland, the South Seas, had -?-their faith severely -?- by -?- disappointments yet they perserveared, and God bless their labors. -????????- the strneth of the Lord go on, and that with increased Zeal.

Our lamented brother was 31 years old. He was born in New Kent, and was the third son of our esteemd brother Elder James Clopton. The child of pious parents, he was brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and at an early age became a member of Emmaus church; of which his father was the pastor. Feeling it his duty to devote himself to the ministry, he became a student in the Va. Baptist Seminary. He subsequently entered Columbian College, of which he was a graduate. On leaving that Institution, he accepted an apointment as teacher of the preparatory department of Richmond College. Desitous to qualifying himself thoroughly for the work of the ministry, he resigned his office, and became a student in Newton Theological Institution. When the unhappy separation was place[ed] betwixt the North and South, on the decision of the Boston Board, he, with some other Southern students, left that institution.

In the interval betwext leaving that Institution and his acceptance as a missionary by the Board, he was actively engaged in preaching to different churches. In the fall of 1815, he was accepted as a missionary, and by direction of the Board, he visited several churches and with a view to awaken a deeper interest in the -?- -?-

A few weeks before he embarked he was united in marriage to sister Frances Turpin, a daughter of the late beloved pastor of Four Mile Creek church, in this county.

Amiable in his deportment, and courteous in his intercourse with his fellow-men, as a man he was loved and esteemed. Devotedly pious, and conspicuous for a fervent zeal, as a Christian, he won the confidence and esteem of all with whom he associated. but his pilgrimage is ended. Like the early dew, he vanished in the morning of life; yet it is our duty to bow submissively to the stroke, and say, Surely will not the Judge of all do that which is right.

484 iv. Francis Clopton, born December 28, 1817.

485 v. John Christian Clopton, of Albemarle County, born December 16, 1819; died March 3, 1871 in Selina, Albemarle County, Virginia of paralysis of the brain. He was a member of Free Union Baptist Church²⁰⁴. He married Marietta Thompson January 29, 1846; died Aft. April 6, 1871 in Selina, Albemarle County, Virginia, probably²⁰⁵.

Died on Friday, 3d of march, 1871, at Selina, Albemarle Co., Va., of paralysis of the brain, JOHN C. CLOPTON, in the 51st year of his age. In early life he embraced the hope of the gospel, andsoon identified himself with God's people, by joining the Baptist church. He was vary anxious to become a minister of the gospel, but his early opportunities for acquiring an education haad been limited, and a feeble physical constitution disqualified him for the toil necessary for the pulpit. He, however, devoted many years to the work of a colporter, and took great pleasure, not only in circulating religious books, tracts, ac., but in his travels aas colporter, seldom failed to speak of the importance of practical piety, exemplifying in his own life the blessedness of the Christian hope. Many a word of consolation did he speak to the broken-hearted; and many a word of warning to the impre-?-tent. He was a member of Free Union Baptist church, which took its name froom the house in which the church was constituted, which was ocupied alternately by ifferent denominations of Christians.

To the extent of his capacity, Bro. C. sought to build up the interests of Zion; and the paastor and church at Free Union will long remember his ever watchful anxiety for the advancement of the cause.

His widow, the daughter of Edmund Thompson, Esq., deceased, and granddaughter of Col. Robert Hill, formerly of Madison county, remains with a mother's and grand mother's, and husband's voice, all bidding her to follow them to the "better land." May this, with all the bereavements she has been called to bear, be sanctified to her highest good.

486 vi. Martha Mildred Clopton, of Virginia²⁰⁶, born July 12, 1824²⁰⁷; died Bef. February 1, 1849²⁰⁸. She married John Henry Christian²⁰⁹ Bef. October 15, 1846 in Virginia, by Elder J. G. Carter²¹⁰; born January 5, 1822; died October 12, 1895.

487 vii. Mary Susan Clopton, of New Kent County²¹¹, born July 12, 1824²¹². She married John Henry Christian²¹³; born January 5, 1822; died October 12, 1895.

488 viii. Ann M. Clopton, of New Kent County²¹⁴. She married Francis A. Watkins, of New Kent County March 16, 1842 in New Kent County, Virginia by Elder James B. Taylor²¹⁵.

188. Ann²¹ Clopton, of "Knotty Oak" (William²⁰, Walter¹⁹, William¹⁸, Walter¹⁷, William¹⁶, William¹⁵, Walter¹⁴, William¹³, Richard¹², William¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹, Thomas⁸, Walter⁷, William⁶, Walter⁵, William⁴, Walter³, William², Guillaume¹ Peche, Lord Of Cloptunna and Dalham) was born 1797 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died October 6, 1833. She married Isaac Otey, of "Knotty Oak", son of James Otey and Frances Graves. He was born 1787 in New Kent County, Virginia.

Following Ann's death in 1833, Issac married Ann Binns, the daughter of Daniel Binns and Ann K. Cooke, who was a daughter of William Cooke and Ann K. Chamberlayne. By the second marriage there were two children, John O. Otey and Charles Anna Otey. Isaac Otey and his second wife sought a legal separation, something that was almost unheard of at that time. The second Mrs. Otey engaged the services of Richmond T. Lacy to serve as her attorney, and the separation was made legal. She was given a home near Providence Forge as part of the settlement. The Puritans did not have the corner on strict discipline and the early minute books of Emmaus Baptist Church clearly illustrates that the primary concern of the congregation was the punishment for a wide assortment of transgressions. The church constitution called for a business meeting to be held on the Saturday preceding the third Sunday of each month and charges could be brought before the members. An appointed committee would visit the member accused of violating one of the many, often trivial rules of conduct, and seek an explanation. One offense viewed as grounds for excommunication was to simply not attend church on a regular basis, so it is easy to see why Issac got in hot water when the reason his wife left became common knowledge. A committee composed of James Clopton, Pastor; Dr. Carter, James F. Gray, Ira Coles, E. Pollard, F. T. Crump, William Howle, A. S. Crowder, John O. (?) Clopton, Tazewell Pomfrey, James A. Oakley, J. F. Parkinson, and B. M. McKenzie rendered their report on the Saturday before 3rd Sunday, July 1840. "Upon investigation of and deliberation on Bro. Otey's case and upon his acknowledgement of error in having striked his wife with a switch with a confession of sorrow for the same The Church determined to retain him in fellowship."

She married James Madison Melton, C.S.A.²⁵³ October 26, 1869 in St Clair Co., Alabama; born March 15, 1845 in Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama.

James Madison Melton enlisted in Company D, 9th Alabama Battalion on February, 1863, shortly before his eighteenth birthday, and proceeded to Tullahoma, Tennessee where they were placed in General Clayton's Brigade and were in several small engagements, chiefly at Hoover's Gap. In July of 1863 two additional companies were added and the 58th was formed.

The 58th was consolidated with the 8th Tennessee under Colonel Bushrod Jones, placed in Bate's Brigade and they took part in the Battle of Chickamauga. On the first day of this great conflict, Bate's Brigade assisted in the capture of four pieces of artillery. On the second day they were in the desperate charge which broke the enemy's line, losing 148 men out of 254 engaged in the battle. This regiment was one of the most distinguished a Chickamauga.

United with the 32nd Alabama and placed in General Clayton's Brigade in November, 1863, they took part in the Chattanooga-Ringgold Campaign. Out of 400 present at Missionary Ridge, they lost 250. The Regiment wintered at Dalton and accompanied the Army of Tennessee in the Dalton-Atlanta Campaign, engaging in numerous battles and skirmishes. They fought at Resaca, New Hope, and Kenesaw and lost more than 100 men either wounded or killed in ten days.

Transferred to Holtzclaw's Brigade, they moved with Hood into Tennessee. They were severely engaged at Columbia and took part in the terrible battles of Franklin and Nashville. They then went with the Brigade to Mobile and were sent to assist General Gibson in his brilliant and heroic defense of Spanish Fort on March 31, 1865. They fought gallantly there and at Blakely.

James Madison Melton appeared on a Roll of Prisoners of War of Co. H, 32 and 58 Consolidated Ala. Regiment, Holtzclaw's Brigade, Confederate States Army, commanded by Capt. R. L. Wiggins, surrendered at Citronelle, Ala. by Lieut. Gen. R. Taylor, C.S. A., to Maj. Gen. E. R. S. Canby, U. S. A., May 4, 1865, and Paroled at Meridian, Miss., May 10, 1865.

James never spoke much about his Civil War experience, however, his son Gordon G. Melton remembered a humorous story he heard his father tell about going up a hill in Chattanooga. "It seems that my father's Company thought that the Yankees were just over this hill, so they were heading up the hillside to go over and attack the Yankees. As they got about halfway up the hill, huge boulders came tumbling down toward them. They turned tail and started running back down. Dad said there was a soldier about one hundred feet ahead of him wearing a long overcoat. This overcoat was stretched out like a bird's wing, as the man ran trying to dodge the bullets that had begun to come their way. Pa was trying to zigzag to keep out of the line of fire that was directed at the fellow with the coat on, but every time Pa zigzagged, so did the other fellow.

Following their marriage James and Margaret lived on a farm, consisting of 160 acres, located at Wade , Alabama, between Argo and Springville in St. Clair County. The farm came through Margaret, who inherited it from her father William "Bill" Presley.

Located on the farm about 150 yards from the house was the Fairfield School, a one-room schoolhouse. James and Margaret donated the school site and furnished considerable amount of the lumber and labor to build it. School term was only four or five months during the fall and winter. That was the only time that the children could be spared from the crops.

A copy of original Bible records located Clopton Family Archives, does not have a cover sheet. The information on the three pages appears to have been entered by one hand using the same pen, with the exception of the names of who the children married and the date and place of death for Guy and Melissa. Therefore, we can assume the Bible belonged to this couple and that one of them made most of the entries. Place of birth for all the children except Cecil, was given as "Mourissi." 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.

The family moved from Dade County, Missouri about 1901 and relocated in Oklahoma. They settled on a farm about eleven miles east of Lawton. All of the sons became farmers.

Our Dear Friends:

At the meeting of the J. Harvey Mathes Chapter, U.D.C., our President, Mrs. C. B. Bryan so tenderly and beautifully spoke of your Mother, the vacant chair - our beloved officer - member who would never be with us again, save in tender loving memory. She was our Treasurer and we so thoroughly leaned upon her for help, counsel and support, she so strong, sincere and true and always secured results. A Vacancy has been made in our Chapter that cannot be filled. The loss we believe means more to us than any one else in the world except the bereaved family from which the light of love has gone out, so the Chapter begs to send you and yours a true message of sympathy and asks that you will allow us to share your grief in the passing out of our dear friend, whose sudden departure stunned us. She was so bright so perfectly radiant and had such glorious vitality, just bubbling over with wit and humor, yet so charming with feminine personality. She bore her suffering so patiently so heroically that she scarcely knew that she ever contemplated being called so soon to pass beyond this Life to one of peace and rest.

January 8th 1920 Memphis, Tenn.

Children of Anthony Lane and Anne Foote are:

917 i. George Foote²² Lane, of "Mayfield", born in "Mayfield," Desoto County, Mississippi. He married Rosa Carter, of Tennessee November 24, 1900.

918 ii. Thomas Moncrief Lane, of "Mayfield", born in "Mayfield," Desoto County, Mississippi; died August 16, 1886 in Greenville, South Carolina and buried Pelzer, South Carolina.

919 iii. Virginius Schylleene Lane, Sr., of "Mayfield", born in "Mayfield," Desoto County, Mississippi. He married Maude Miller Kearney March 5, 1901 in Memphis, Tennessee; born September 21, 1880 in Grenada, Mississippi; died May 12, 1929 in Memphis, Tennessee.

920 iv. Lucy Ware Lane, of "Mayfield", born 1875 in "Mayfield," Desoto County, Mississippi; died 1942. She married (1) Oliver Franklin Weeks, of Mississippi. She married (2) William Whitehead Erwin, of New York June 23, 1910 in Church of the Transfiguration, New York; born 1878; died 1940.

In 1939, Lucy Lane Erwin published the first hard-backed genealogy of the Clopton Family. Entitled, "The Ancestry of William Clopton of York County, Virginia," it debuted to rave reviews and cost a staggering $12.98. It is known affectionately today as "Lucy's Book." Before she researched the European lines, it was believed by many that the descendants of William Clopton and Ann Booth descended from the Clopton family of the Warwickshire Cloptons. While there is little doubt there is a connection, no evidence has yet been found which proves a link between the two. Although scholars have recently made some new discoveries which have eliminated some ancient Clopton lines of descent, her methods were impeccable and no fault can be found in her conclusions due to sloppy research.

Her research on the American lines leaves something to be desired, as she herself noted in the introduction. Much of the information appears to have been accepted without documentation.

In the early 1980's, Gene Carlton Clopton received permission from Mrs. Erwin's family to reproduce the book. He reprinted the European section entirely and those of the American Colonial period, but he did add new information relating to the American lines. Mrs. Erwin wrote her book decades before computers, copiers, and jet planes made their appearance. In her introduction, her dedication to the task is clearly illustrated:

"Compiling this book has been a slow, painstaking process extending over a period of many years. It has involved tracing casual records to their sources, and proving their authenticity by documentary evidence, thus clearing fact from tradition. Interwoven in the drab of the fabric various accounts from the romantic past have appeared, thus adding to the cold facts of vital records, interesting threads of color.

It has been the purpose of the compiler to establish the ancestry of William Clopton of York (now New Kent) County, Virginia. To this end she has made repeated visits to England where authentic documents were consulted. This search of the source records made personally, has been rewarded through her persistent effort. With the assurance that what she now offers to Clopton descendants is a solid structure, built on documentary evidence, she bets to state that, having proved the English lineage of William Clopton of York County, Virginia, her real task is finished.

But in addition an attempt has been made to add to this, a record of his American descendants to the ninth generation, accompanied by copies of several documents obtained from personal research in this country. Great effort has been made to secure accuracy but for errors that may appear in family data she begs the kind indulgence of the reader.

During the past summer, 1939, there were such rewarding results in England of a hitherto baffling search for the maternal ancestry of William Clopton, that the publication of the book was delayed to include them.

Because we owe so much to not only her efforts but to those who helped her, it is appropriate to include the names of those individuals whom she acknowledged: Mrs. A. E. Rowan, Lond, England; E. N. Geijer, Esq., Rouge Dragon and Hon. Librarian, College of Arms, London; Mr. and Mrs. C. D. B. Starkie Bence of Kentwell Hall, Long Melford; Herbert E. West, Esq., of Castlings Hall, Groton; the Society of Genealogists, London; the many Essex and Suffolk Clergy, Custodians of Church records; Mrs. Richard I. Manning, Columbia, S. C.; the Virginia Historical Society; Dr. Joseph D. Eggleston, Hampden-Sydney, Virginia; Mr. Strippel, Librarian Genealogical Division, New York Public Library; Miss Bass, Librarian State Library, Richmond; State and County Record Offices; the Clopton descendants for Thier family data; Miss Mary B. McIntyre; and William Whitehead Erwin.

Mrs. Erwin was enrolled as Life Member in the following societies: National Society Magna Charta Dames; Colonial Order of the Crown; Sovereign Colonial Society of Americans of Royal Descent; Society of Descendants of the Order of the Garter; has membership in the Huguenot Society Founders of Manakin, in the Colony of Virginia (National Vice-President and President of the New York State Branch); Colonial Dames XVIIth Century, Margaret Mask Chapter (Vice President); National Society New England Women; National Society Daughters of American Revolution; United Daughters of the Confederacy; Twelfth Night Club (President 1935-1937); Virginia Historical Society; Society of Genealogists, London, England, and, also, others.

In 1996, Dr. George Foote Lante, II, of Plainfield, New Jersey, presented to the Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia, a collection of materials concerning the writing, publication, advertising, distribution, and reviews of "The Ancestry of William Clopton of York County, Virginia."

Her second husband was an executive with Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.
