(2) The Clopton family first settled in Hampton parish, York county. The register of the Vicar- General of the Archbishop of Canterbury shows that a license was issued June 4, 1668, to Isaac Clopton of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, citizen and haberdasher, bachelor, about 24 [years], to marry Miss Martha Hill, of the same, spinster, about 21 [years]; consent of her guardian, Thomas Hill, of Cambridge University, gent (her parents being dead), to be married at Brantford, Middlesex. Was this Isaac Clopton the one sworn "according to Rt. hon'ble the Governor's order," justice of York county, Va., January 24, 1675-'76? He married in Virginia, Mary-----, who married, first, Thomas Bassett, who died before 1660, leaving a son William (probably by an earlier marriage) under 18 years. This son moved to New Kent. She married, secondly, William Fellgate, skinner of London, brother of Capt. Robert Fellgate, of York county, Va. William Fellgate died on Fellgates's Creek, York county, in 1660, and his widow married, thirdly, Capt. John Underhill, formerly of Worcester, England. His will was proved October 24, 1672, and he had, by his wife Mary, John, Nathaniel, Jane, and Mary. His widow then married Dr. Isaac Clopton, by whom no issue; they were both dead by January 25 1678/9, when her will was proved. "Mr. William Clopton" was constable of York-Hampton parish in 1682. January 23, 1682/3, he executed a deed of gift to his daughters Anne and Elizabeth.
