Biography
So far, the only thing we know about David Claton is that he was killed by "Indians" above Ft Washington[1][2] located along the Ohio River south of old Cincinnati, Ohio, around 1791[3] In the "Memoirs of Benjamin Van Cleve" it is written, "One Morning a few persons started in a periougue to go to Columbia. The Indians killed most of them a little above the mouth of Deer Creek within hearing distance of the town. David Clayton, one of the killed, was one of our family." Columbia-Tusculum is now the oldest neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio and is located on the East Side of the city.
See David's father's bio for information about his mother.

According to the memoirs of Benjamin Van Cleve (1773-1821) where a brief account is given regarding the death of David Clayton, David was part of his family, he does not explain the nature of the relationship. I have added the source and ammended the bio to reflect this, a narrowing of the time frame of his death and the location.
