DANIEL B. CLAYTON, farmer, of Marshall County, Tenn., is a son of William G.
and Jane S. (Bachman) Clayton, and was born in the county where he now resides
May 11, 1855.  After attending the common school he completed his education at
Lewisburg, and then began the battle of life for himself.  He taught one term
of school and, in 1878, went to Texas and engaged in the mercantile business. 
After selling agricultural implements for a short time he opened a grocery
store, which he managed two years with good results.  He sold out and returned
to Marshall County in 1881, and was united in marriage to Cora McCord, by whom
he has one child, Mary Lucile.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Clayton are active workers
in the Methodist Episcopal Church South.  They own 325 acres of land in the
most fertile portion of Marshall County, it being considered one of the finest
stock farms in the county.  He takes great interest in raising fine stock, and
is a stanch Democrat in his political views.
