Actually, Lewis Clyburn, Sr. and his father William, Sr. were born in Brunswick County, Virginia. William Sr's father was John Claiborn, Jr. born about 1705 in Henrico County, Virginia. His mother was Jean Clarke. If you want to know more, I will give you the email address of a cousin who has done extensive research including trips to England and has written a wonderful book on the Clyburn family. And recent DNA testing confirms that the Lancaster County, S. C. and Kershaw County, S. C. branch of the Clyburns and related spellings goes back to the Cliburns of Cliburn Hall in Cliburn, Westmorland, England. Also the testing has proved that we are not related to William Claiborne of Virginia fame but that he is from another family entirely. I look forward to hearing from you. Elizabeth Ashmore
