Jason L. Clift was the son of Mary Clift and Gustavus Hills. He was born 20 October 1842 in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois. Prior to his birth, his mother, Mary Clift, declared in an affidavit for the Nauvoo High Council that she was pregnant with the illegitimate child of Gustavus Hills. As a result, Gustavus Hills was disfellowshipped. Gustavus Hills later signed a paternity agreement with Robert Clift, Mary's father, agreeing to financially support Mary and her child. Unfortunately, Jason L. Clift died 26 October 1843 at the age of one year and six days from black canker (diptheria).
Theodore Turley later recorded Jason’s name as “Jason Turley,” giving rise to the belief that Jason was the result of the plural marriage between himself and Mary Clift.
