== John Thomas Clay, son of Sir John Clay landed at Jamestown, VA in 1613 and settled in Charles City County, Virginia.
John, the Grenadier (hired soldier in the King's army) arrived in the new world in February 1613 according to the muster
on the "Treasurer." The "Treasurer" was commanded and partially owned by Captain Samuel Argall, who was a brother
of Elizabeth Argall Filmer, ancestress of Martha & Lucy Green Clay (wife of Henry Clay 1713-1764).
It is stated in his muster that he (John Clay) was a planter before the goverment of Sir Thomas Dale.
Sir Thomas Dale was deputy governor of the Virginia Colony from until August 1, 1611, however he also
werved the colony from March 1614 until May 1616. This last term is surely the reference in the muster
since John Clay arrived in the new world in February 1613. John Clay came to Virginia in 1613, his wife in 1623.
In 1655 William Bayly patented 400 acres purchased from William Clay, son of John Clay. These persons may
have been ancestors of Henry Clay, Senator from Kentucky, whose first recorded ancestor Henry Clay, was living
in that part of Henrico County, VA. which is now Chesterfield County, Va. when extant records began in 1677.

== Notes from book written by Cassius Marcellus Clay, Green & Sally's son:
"My father was a great lover and raiser of sheep. He went to relief of Fort Meigs in 1813. Traditions says that he
and his father quarreled and he migrated whilst yet a minor to Kentucky. Sally Lewis was the daughter of Thomas
and Eliza Payne Lewis,descended from Scotch and English ancestors - Douglass being a family name to this day.
My grandparents had a large family of sons and daughters of fine minds and physique. One Aunt
married James Garrard, Governor of KY, another, John T. Johnson, member of Congress."
Estill County's first tycoon was noted entrepreneur and landowner Green Clay.
Clay was born on Aug. 14, 1757 in Powhatan County, Virginia to the same family that produced his more famous distant cousin, Henry Clay. He had some formal education but was pretty much self-taught. Clay was a man for all seasons and excelled in several professions including: business, politics and the military. The skill that enabled him to become wealthy was his adeptness at surveying and locating land grants.
He served in the Revolutionary War and probably was awarded a land patent in Kentucky for his military service. Clay arrived in Kentucky in the fall of 1780. His services as a surveyor were very much in demand due to the many overlapping land claims that resulted from the inaccurate maps that existed at the time. As a surveyor he received half of all of the land that he surveyed or located. He was very skilled at deciphering survey plats and was able to personally gain by capitalizing on the many mistakes that were made on the original land patents. As a result he soon accumulated large amounts of acreage in Estill and Madison Counties. He originally owned the land where Irvine is located and very shrewdly deeded some of the town lots to the city to help offset the cost of erecting public buildings. Of course, he really cleaned up on the lots that remained in his possession. He owned one of Irvine's first ferries. He also operated a more famous ferry on the Kentucky River near Boonesborough known as Clay's Ferry. The old ferry crossing is now spanned by twin bridges on I-75 but is still called Clay's Ferry.
Green Clay owned almost every type of business venture available at the time including: whiskey distilleries, inns, Iron furnaces, brick kilns, lumber mills, etc. He built and promoted the celebrated Estill Springs where his famous cousin Henry came to vacation. Clay ran an advertisement in the Lexington Reporter on Oct.1, 1814, for taverns(Inns) to rent at the Estill Court House and the Sweet Spring (Estill Springs). The accommodations were described as being new, large and well furnished. The ad went on say that a great number of people visited the springs. The announcement pointed out that the spa was located only a half mile from the CourtHouse where all the leading roads to the upper country (eastern Kentucky) intersected, making these very valuable locations for public housing. Information given in the advertisement is revealing. The fact that Irvine was located on the major east-west road and could support two inns indicate that the city must have been a boomtown in 1814.
In addition to being a skilled and ruthless entrepreneur, Green Clay was also a politician. He served in the Virginia Legislature and, after Kentucky became a state, he served in both the House and Senate of the Kentucky Legislature. He was named Speaker of the Senate in 1795(a title no longer in common usage).
Clay was a powerful and influential man by the time the War Of 1812 began. He was commissioned as a Major General by Isaac Shelby, Kentucky's first governor, and ordered to form a regiment of Kentucky Militia to defend the western frontier from the British and Indians. The commander of the American forces in the western territories that ran to the Canadian line was William Henry Harrison, a governor of Indiana and later President of the United States. After Harrison was defeated in the battle of Raisin River, the British and their Indian allies under famed Chief Tecumseh, lay siege to Fort Meigs. The isolated fort was located on the Maumee River in upper Ohio. Clay and his 1200 Kentuckians were sent to relieve the besieged fort. Clay's forces arrived in May by boat and, after suffering heavy losses, were able to get into the fort and break the siege. A large number of the Kentucky troops were captured and some forty of the captives were slaughtered by the Indians as the British watched. As a result of his military duty, Clay added the title of General to his honors and has been known ever since as General Clay.

== Cassius received 2200 acres, 17 slaves, about 50,000 acres below the Tennessee River and Whitehall from the will of Green Clay.
General of the Union army; minister to Russia under four presidents. The American abolitionist and statesman was born in Madison County,
Kentucky, and educated at Yale University. Under the influence of the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, Clay became an
antislavery crusader, and, during his three terms in the Kentucky legislature (1835-40), he advocated gradual emancipation.
In 1845 he founded the True American,an antislavery weekly. When his printing equipment was destroyed by a proslavery mob,
he continued to publish the paper from Cincinnati, Ohio. Later, changing its name to the Examiner, he moved it to Louisville, Kentucky.
Although he had opposed the invasion of Texas, in 1846 he was among the first to volunteer to fight in the Mexican War, and in 1847
he was taken prisoner for a short time. Between 1861 and 1869 he served as U.S. minister to Russia.
Clay returned to US 1869 with Russian boy Launey Clay divorced Mary 1878, married 13-year-old Dora shortly before death at 93.
Dora soon tired of Clay and married Riley Brock, but they later when on to live in Clay's mansion.
After a drunken brawl, Riley and two other men broke into Clay's house and almost killed him.
Conflicting reports believe that Riley may have been killed in Clay's house that night.
From a Kentucky newspaper article provided by Robert Clay. . . no publisher or date for article:
"Later, at age 84, Cassius married Dora richardson to the outrage of the neighborhood. An ill-advised possie going
to forcibly remove the girl retreated hastily under a barrage of horseshoes and scrap metal fired from a pair of cannon.
The neighbors left him alone after that but the young Dora left him three years later."
"Three ruffians, thinking the the 92 year old Cassius to be an easy mark, entered Whitehall, but only one left, he
fleeing in terror from the ferocious old man. The ruffian left one companion dead of gunshot wounds and the other
cut to bits by Cassius' Bowie knife."
American politician and diplomat, b. Madison co., Ky. Although he came from a slaveholding family, Clay early came to abhor the institution of slavery. In 1845 he established at Lexington, Ky., the True American, an abolitionist paper. His press was moved by his enemies to Cincinnati, and he continued its publication there and at Louisville. He served as a captain in the Mexican War and was captured and for a time imprisoned. In 1851 he was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Kentucky on an antislavery ticket; he captured enough votes, however, to cause the defeat of the Whig candidate and thus hastened the collapse of the Whigs in Kentucky. He was minister to Russia (1861-62, 1863-69) and served briefly in the Civil War as a major general of volunteers.

White Hall
== Cassius Marcellus Clay and his family were central figures in 19th-century history and politics.
Cousin Henry was revered as the “Great Compromiser” whose leadership in the U.S. Senate helped
stave off civil war for decades. Daughter Laura became an early and enthusiastic proponent of equal rights
for women. And Cassius himself was a firebrand anti-slavery orator, a newspaper publisher,
a captain in the U.S.-Mexican War, and a confidant of Abraham Lincoln who helped persuade
the president to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
Located in Madison County near Richmond, White Hall was once the home of emancipationist Cassius Marcellus Clay (1810-1903).
White Hall is situated on a rise overlooking the Kentucky River. The oldest part of the house—the core of the building—was
built in the late 1700s by Cassius Clay's father. In the 1860s, Clay had half the house renovated and expanded.
Among the innovations were ingenious plumbing and central heating systems, unusual for a 19th-century house.
Ghosts are said to haunt White Hall to this day.
== Laura Clay was the daughter of Mary Jane Warfield Clay, herself a suffragist, and Cassius M. Clay,
the Kentucky state representative, minister to Russia, and abolitionist. She was born and raised at White Hall, which can be visited today.
Clay was one of the South’s most well-known suffragists, but it must be remembered that she and other suffragists
worked to secure a range of rights for women, including property rights for married women, women’s rights
to guardianship of their children, and the entrance of women into male-only colleges.
Clay served as the first president of the Kentucky Equal Rights Association (KERA) from 1888-1912.
During the 1890s, she became affiliated with the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
She corresponded with some of the most prominent suffragists of the era, and in the south was responsible for establishing suffrage societies in nine states and traveling around the country on behalf of the cause. In 1916, she was elected vide-president-at-large of the newly formed Southern States Women Suffrage Association, which appealed more to her firmly-held states’ right belief. Near the end of the fight for suffrage Clay actively campaigned against passage of the Nineteenth Amendment because of her belief that each state should have the right to enact its own laws.

== Henry (1777-1852), American statesman, who was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful
candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in
American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to
tear the nation apart, winning him the title The Great Pacificator. Clay was born on April 12, 1777, in Hanover County,
Virginia, to a middle-class family. After studying for the bar with the eminent George Wythe, Clay, at the age of 20,
moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he developed a thriving practice. He was blessed with a quick mind,
a flair for oratory, and an ability to charm both sexes with his easy, attractive manner. That he loved to
drink and gamble was no drawback in an age that admired both vices. Clay, ambitious for worldly success,
married into a wealthy and socially prominent family and soon gained entry into Kentucky's most influential circles.
While still in his 20s, he was elected to the state legislature, in which he served for six years, until 1809.
Congressman Clay established his great reputation in the United States House of Representatives,
where he served intermittently from 1811 to 1825. In his first term, he became one of the leading "War Hawks"-the
young men whose clamor for hostilities with England helped bring about the War of 1812. Clay was selected as one
of the commissioners who in 1814 negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, ending that war. In 1820-21 it was Clay above all
who engineered the Missouri Compromise, quieting the harsh controversy that had erupted by maintaining an equal
balance between free and slave states. Although he himself was a slave owner, Clay's views on slavery-as on most
other issues-were moderate. He was thus able to command the support of men fearful of extremism. In the presidential
election of 1824, after his own candidacy had failed, Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams, whom the House
early in 1825 elected as the sixth president. When Adams named Clay secretary of state, his Jacksonian opponents
charged "corrupt bargain!" The charge was unfair, but Clay was haunted by it throughout his subsequent career.
Although Clay was a practical politician of flexible rather than rigid beliefs, he did emerge as the great champion
of the "American System." He called for a protective tariff in support of home manufactures, internal improvements
(federal aid to local road and canal projects), a strong national bank, and distribution of the proceeds of federal land
sales to the states. Whig Leader Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1831, Clay served in that body until 1842 and again from
1849 until his death. In 1833 he devised a compromise tariff that resolved the crisis brought on by South Carolina's
attempt to "nullify" the prevailing tariff set by Congress. In the same period he became a leader of the new Whig
Party that emerged to oppose Andrew Jackson's administration. Perhaps the most heartbreaking event of Clay's
career was his close defeat in the presidential contest of 1844, when his reluctance to back the annexation of Texas
cost him support in the South. Many believe that his greatest service to the nation came in 1850, when he helped win
acceptance for a compromise that ended, at least temporarily, the threat of civil war over the issue of slavery in the
new territories. He died in Washington, D.C., on June 29, 1852.
Senator Henry Clay
Henry showed great devotion to principle. Once, after taking a controversial stand on slavery,
he told an associate, "I had rather be right than be President."
