Research Notes
The place of death is shown as Charles parish in Yorkshire, England, but there is no parish of that name. It is likely that Charles parish, York, Virginia, is intended, as shown on his Find a Grave entry.[2] This is the same parish where his grandson Benjamin was born in 1682.[3]

Hello. I think your Benjamin Clifton belongs to different parents. I've been researching the Westby Lancashire Clifton's and his name and birth location aren't congruous with the Lancashire family. Can you recheck your information repository for this profile's parents. Thanks for your help.
