CLAY FAMILY SOCIETY 2008
The
fifth Gathering of the Clay Family
was held in Huntsville, Alabama, June
20-22, 2008
Huntsville, birthplace of Alabama! Clement Comer Clay, his son Clement Claiborne Clay, and many others have called Huntsville and Madison County their homes.
We had a great time and missed all our Clay cousins that were unable to attend!! We really hope to see you at the next gathering in 2010 in Kentucky (location to be determined soon).
PAST GATHERINGS
CLAY FAMILY SOCIETY 2006
June
2006 took us to Chester, Virginia for a three day Gathering. We were happy
to see cousins that we had not seen for the two years since the last
Gathering, and we met new cousins that joined us for their first time. We
visited the cemeteries of Henry Clay, the elder who died in 1760, his son
Rev. Eleazar Clay and grandson Phineas Clay. We heard the stories of the
petrified man of Chesterfield County, the kidnapping of two Indian
children by Henry Clay, and of the searches of our cousins.| - Click on image to enlarge - | ||
