W. H. H. Clayton
William Henry Harrison Clayton best known as W.H.H. Clayton (October 13, 1840 – December 14, 1920) was a prominent lawyer and judge in post-Civil War Arkansas and Indian Territory Oklahoma. He was the United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas and the chief prosecutor in the court of "hanging judge" Isaac Parker for 14 years.
==Early life==
Clayton and his twin brother John Middleton Clayton (Arkansas) were born in Bethel, Pennsylvania, to John and Ann Glover Clayton. At birth, John Middleton Clayton was given the name John Tyler Clayton, since his father was a staunch supporter of the Whig Party and named his twin sons after the Whig Party presidential ticket of 1840. After President John Tyler committed his "Great Betrayal" of the Whig Party, John Clayton, Sr. erased the name "Tyler" from the family record and had his son baptized as John Middleton Clayton, after the famous Delaware Senator of the same name, who was a distant cousin.〔Clayton, Thomas J., ''Rambles and Reflections'', Chester Pa. (1899), pp. 399, 408〕 W.H.H. Clayton had two other older brothers: Thomas Jefferson Clayton, who remained in Pennsylvania and became a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Delaware County, Pennsylvania;〔Harmon, S.W., ''Hell on the Border'', University of Nebraska Press (1992), pp. 128-29〕 and Powell Clayton, who became a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the Civil War and served as, first, Governor, and then Senator, for Arkansas after the War and finally, as the American ambassador to Mexico.〔Harmon, p. 129〕
The Clayton family was descended from the original Quaker settlers of Pennsylvania. Clayton ancestor William Clayton (Governor) emigrated from Chichester, England with his wife Prudence and family in 1677 and settled in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania.〔Clayton, Thomas J., pp. 399-400〕() William Clayton was one of nine justices who sat at the Upland (Chester) Quaker Court in 1681 and was also a member of Penn's Council.〔Clayton, Thomas J., p. 400〕 In 1684, he became the Acting Governor of the Pennsylvania Colony and served in that capacity for two years. While in England, William Clayton had known George Fox, founder of the Quaker religion and, like many Quakers in Stuart England, had been imprisoned due to his religious beliefs.()
