Notes for REV. ELEAZER CLAY (from http://members.cox.net/trm/ClayCharles-Cassius.htm):
Rev. Eleazar Clay was born 4 August 1744, married first, (21 June 1767) Jane Apperson by whom he had nine children; married
second, (10 January 1788) Elizabeth Whitehead Swepton by whom he had two daughters, and third, at the age of 81, married Phoebe Newby. As a youth, he served in the French and Indian War. In 1771, he converted to the Baptist faith and two years later on 22 August 1773, founded the Chesterfield Church in his barn where he "commenced laborin gin the Lord's vineyard..." His
strong, blunt manner was well known. One day, when a man appeared outside a house in which Clay was preaching, threatening to "whip" him, Eleazar Clay replied, "I am the sone of Charles Clay and fear no man. If I have to go out after him, I will give him one of the worst whippings he ever had in his life." It is recorded that the antagonist left without satisfaction. For more than a half century, Clay remained one of the most influential members among Virginia Baptists. He owned extensive tracts of land in Chesterfield and Pittsylvania Counties when he passed away at age 92 on 2 May 1836. (The Virginia Baptist Register, #9, Virginia Baptist Historical Society, Richmond, Va, 1970; Clay Family Bible Records, #35084, LVA).
