I realize that the manager of this profile appears to be considering the possibilty of her being born in England, but with a man by her father's name living in Bedford County, to me it seems to be a possibility to be considered.
The other problem is there is an existing Elizabeth Mary Clayton listed as a daughter in that family. However, her profile is marked as unsourced.
