Hello:
If anyone knows any information on the heritage of Blaytons who settled in Charles City County, VA during the early 1600s. Thomas Blayton was an attorney and member of the House of Burgesses of the then crown colony. (It is said that he was related to then Gov.William Berkeley, who was appointed by King James) It is believed his family originates from Gloucestershire. It is also the genealogical roots of the Berkeley family.
Also, does anyone know the relationship of Wm. Berkeley to Bishop George Berkeley of Cloyne? Thanking in advance for any expedient response
