William Clayton was born about 1625 in England, and married there to Prudence Mickles. In 1677, William sailed on the ship "Kent" from London, England, to West Jersey, where he and his family settled in Burlington. A Quaker, he was one of several commissioners sent from London by the proprietors of New Jersey to purchase land from the native Indians.
Several years later, William settled at Upland, later called Chichester, Chester County, PA, now Chester, Delaware County, PA. He was a member of the provincial council under Governor Markham; served as one of the nine justices of the court of Upland County in 1681, and subsequently of Chester County, PA, and presided at the first council meeting held in Pennsylvania after the arrival of the proprietor, William Penn, in 1682. William Clayton was acting governor of Pennsylvania in 1684-85, and a member of the Governor's council during the drafting of the great charter of Pennsylvania. He and Samuel Pastorious were the first two judges of the city of Philadelphia.
William Clayton of Chichester, PA, carpenter, died in 1689, intestate (without leaving a will). An inventory of the estate was made on Oct 8, 1689.
