Born of Clay: The Story of the Claiborne · Claybourn · Clayborn Families in the United States

This book charts the remarkable story of the Claiborne - Claybourn - Clayborn families in the United States. Beginning with Joshua Clyburn in the late 1790s, this history provides details on his thousands of descendants and gets progressively more detailed as the generations progress toward modernity. As early as 1906, Verner Marvin Claybourn began collecting data on the Claybourn Family, and on the English family from whom he believed the family descended. In about 1935 Harriette Pinnell Threlkeld became interested, did some research, and with Verner collected data on the hundreds of descendants of William Divine Claybourn, her great-grandfather. From their foundational core Joshua Andrew Claybourn published this one-of-a-kind book on thousands of individuals connected to the family.
