Clay family.
This branch of the famous Clay family of Kentucky (cousins to the statesman Henry Clay) was founded by Green Clay, who emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky in 1777. Clay was a surveyor, and through his position as Deputy Surveyor of Kentucky, he accumulated a vast estate. He also started a tradition of public service which his descendants maintained, retaining a role in Kentucky and national political and cultural affairs up through the twentieth century.
