Edward Claypoole Esq., along with his brothers James and Norton, are Gateway Ancestors in badged trails to Magna Carta Surety Barons Roger Bigod, Hugh Bigod and Robert de Vere. The Richardson-documented trail to Roger Bigod was originally badged by the Magna Carta Project in 2015 and additional trails to Hugh (and Roger) Bigod and Robert de Vere were badged later. These trails, set out HERE, were re-reviewed in May/June 2020.

See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
