Edward Clanton, a presumed son of William and Mary Clanton, is first found in the records purchasing land on the south side of the Nottoway River in Surry County, Virginia, on March 24, 1725, this land consisting of 125 acres.His land adjoined that of John Gilliam, Nathaniel Phillips, and later Richard Clanton, all of this land becoming Sussex County when it was formed. On September 15, 1725, Edward Clanton and John Gilliam witnessed the will of his assumed father, William Clanton of Surry County.
Edward married Sarah (maiden name possibly Evans), and they both witnessed a will in 1729 of their neighbor Nathaniel Phillips, who gave all of his estate to a Nathaniel Clanton (presumably Edward's brother). Some researchers note that this Phillips was the husband of Joanna Clanton, daughter of William, but others state he married a Joanna White. On April 7, 1737, Edward purchased land in Brunswick Co., Virginia; and again in the same county in June of 1739 he purchased one thousand acres from Henry Beddingfield.
In 1738, an Edward Clanton (believed to be the same person, but possibly his son) also purchased land in Butte County, North Carolina. Edward died in Brunswick County, Va., in 1741 and left no will, but an inventory was made of his estate that year. Sarah, who names eight children in her will, died in that county in 1748. Edward and Sarah are the parents of Thomas, Benjamin, Charles, Sarah, William, Edward, Ann and Mary.

Edward was a landowner in Surry Co., VA (area, later part of Sussex Co.) as of Mar. 24, 1725. He apparently moved to Brunswick Co. by Apr. 27, 1737 when he is again shown as purchasing land. In June 1739 he buys another 1000 acres in Brunswick Co. His estate was inventoried in 1741 probably indicating his death that year. http://www.aylesworth.net/Confidence_family_DWT_CSS/rfa_clanton.htm
