century. Sir Robert Wingfield was Knighted by King Henry VI in
1426. He se rved as an M.P. for Suffolk 1427-1439, and as Steward

closely connected or possibly related to the Braiose ( Breus)
family. Sir Robert Wingfield died in 1454 and left an extensive

General Notes: OF Sussex County, Delaware
With Norton Claypoole we arrive at the first Americ an colonist
in tracing the direct line of descent. Norton was c. on Oct. 16,
1640 in London, England to Sir John Claypoole and Mary Angell.
He married Rach el about 1670 and arrived in America on the ship
"Bachelor's Delight" via Barb ados on Feb. 22, 1678. His wife
Rachel joined him coming from London in 1681. Norton had spent
three years while in transit with his brother Edward in
Barb ados. Norton and Rachel had six children: John in London in
1672 who died youn g; James 1673 in London; Mary 1682 in Lewes;
Robert in 1683; Jeremiah in 1685; and Elizabeth in 1687. James
Claypoole, older brother of Norton, was a Quaker and close
associate of William Penn and arrived in the American colonies
abo ut four years after Norton. A number of letters exist between
the two brothers in Delaware and London before James's arrival
in Philadelphia. The descendent s of James Claypoole include
Betsy Ross and Alfred Vanderbilt. The Plantagenet ancestry,
largely unkown to the descendents of Norton Claypoole, was well
kno wn to the descendents of James Claypoole in the 19th century.
Norton Claypoole owned 2000 acres in Delaware and was elected to
the State Legislature in 1686 . Norton died at Lewes on May 15th,
1688. Rachel remarried Nehemiah Fields and died Jan. 24, 1718.
As no record of their marriage in 1670 is found, Rachel's maiden
name is not known. In researching this area, I have a theory
that she may have been a Rachel Joyce born in London to Robert
and Rachel Joyce. To da te I have not found any conclusive proof
of Rachel's maiden name. With this ge neration, we end the
American portion of the direct line of descent and contin ue the
remaining generations in England.

Norton left London for Barbados and then to Delaware with money loaned by brother James (the Quaker leader). This part of James' hope to establish additional sugar operations as brother David had done in Barbados. He left (in 1672?), settling in now Sussex county Delaware. James housed Rachel until she finally left (perhaps on the ship Elizabeth & Mary), landed at Perth Amboy, with their son James, and was collected by Norton. They had another son Jeremiah and daughter Elizabeth. After Norton died she married Nehemiah Field. James' letterbooks do not mention Rachel's family name.

Norton Claypoole owned 2000 acres in Delaware and was elected to
the State Legislature in 1686 . Norton died at Lewes on May 15th,
1688. Rachel remarried Nehemiah Fields and died Jan. 24, 1718.
As no record of their marriage in 1670 is found, Rachel's maiden
name is not known. In researching this area, I have a theory
that she may have been a Rachel Joyce born in London to Robert
and Rachel Joyce. To da te I have not found any conclusive proof
of Rachel's maiden name. With this ge neration, we end the
American portion of the direct line of descent and contin ue the
remaining generations in England.

Norton left London for Barbados and then to Delaware with money loaned by brother James (the Quaker leader). This part of James' hope to establish additional sugar operations as brother David had done in Barbados. He left (in 1672?), settling in now Sussex county Delaware. James housed Rachel until she finally left (perhaps on the ship Elizabeth & Mary), landed at Perth Amboy, with their son James, and was collected by Norton. They had another son Jeremiah and daughter Elizabeth. After Norton died she married Nehemiah Field. James' letterbooks do not mention Rachel's family name.

Her brother in law made arrangements for her to join Norton in Delaware, James refused to use her name. Norton and Rachel had several children in London, a girl and two boys, one boy survived to come to Delaware with her where they had several more, think off hand four more. She had two children by her second husband, marrying within days of the birth of the first.

General Notes:
from the Claypool Family in America, Volume II, by Evelyn Claypool Bracken, p.
151C. "Since there is still some controversy as to the ancestry of James, born
1701, he will be listed as James Claypool (James-James or Norton) along with his
descendants in this volume. He is listed as a grandson of James by the Media
Research Bureau; Rebecca Graff, THE CLAYPOOLE FAMILY OF PHILADELPHIA; THE HOWARD
LINEAGE; Atty. William C. Hudson, past-president of the Detroit Society for
Genalogical Reaserch; the late Atty. John Claypool of Indianapolis, Ind.; and
Arthur H. Hurst. On April 1, 1971, Mr. Hurst wrote: 'Dear Mrs. Bracken: I have
been studying the Claypool records, and I think now that you have been correct
and that I was wrong all the time, about James Claypool, who was born 1701.
James Claypool born 1701, must certainly have been a descendant of James the
immigrant... Sincerely Arthur H. Hurst.' However, the late Edward Claypool (a
genealogist) listed him as a grandson of Norton. Most of the people claiming
ancestry from Norton received their information from him."

Does anyone else believe that James Claypool, b. 1701 and married to Jane Byrd(?), is the grandson of James Claypool, the Immigrant, who was married to Helena Mercer, and the son of James Claypool, married to Mary Cann. I know that the Royal Crown of Charlemagne Society accepts the above. Is the James or Norton debate still going on? I know Mary Cann Claypool remarried after her husbands death, but does anyone know what happened to her. If so, did any records on her point to James b. 1701 as being her son. The way I understood it was Norton could not be grandfather because the the male descendant--James--who could fit the bill--died before he had heirs. There is no doubt that James Claypool, b. 1664,son of the Immigrant James, had a son James, b. 1701. It has been a while since I worked on this. I am hopeful more proof is out there now. .

General Notes:
Norton Gum was the son of Jacob Gum and Sarah Claypoole who came
from Lewes, D elaware to settle on Linville Creek in Rockingham
Co. about 1745. Their near n eighbors were the ancestors of
Abraham Lincoln, and the Gums had numerous conn ections to the
Lincoln family for the next hundred years in Virginia, Kentucky
and Illinois. Jacob Gum was born about 1715 in Lewes and died at
Linville Cr eek in 1783. Sarah Claypoole is the key ancestor in
tracing the lineage to the Plantagenet Kings and earlier
historic figures. Sarah was the daughter of Jer emiah Claypoole
and Sarah Shepherd and was born in 1719 at Milford in Sussex C o.
Delaware. Sarah Claypoole Gum died in 1799. Sarah and Jacob had
9 known ch ildren with Norton being the fourth. One son,
Claypoole Gum, was killed during the Revolutionary War. The use
of the given name Norton came from Sarah's gra ndfather Norton
Claypoole. The name Norton is used by the Claypoole, Gum, and
Mackey families from 1620 into the 20th century.
Norton Gum was named for his great-grandfather, Norton Claypool.
The year of his birth is unknown, but wou ld have to have been in
the late 1740's or early 50's because he was 21 before 1773,
when he was appointed constable. We do not know the date of his
marri age, but we do know that his wife's name was Eleanor.
