     Thomas II Claiborne of Crayford, co. Kent was born circa 1557 at King's Lynn, co. Norfolk, England.⁴ He married Sarah Smith on 21 November 1598 at St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney Parish, co. Middlesex, England,
;
Her 2nd husband.
Per Torrence: "In the Register of Stepney Parish, St. Dunstan, County Middlesex, we find this entry:
     "'1598 November 21, Thomas Cleyborne of the Parish of St. Margaret's, Lynne, county of Norfolk and Sara James, of this Parish, by License.^1,4'"
     ;      There is, in the various sources, a disagreement about the ancestry of this William Claibourne, including two contemporary authors that I have generally consider reasonably authoritative on most issues of English noble heritage: Douglas Richardson and the late Leo van de Pas. While continuing to examine the issues through more research, I have decided for the present to use the "non-royal" ascent for William, which is based on the most recent research.
     William Gleason [1998] (an article republished The National Society of the Claiborne Family Descendants [NSCFD Website]), summarizes the disagreement as follows:
          "For generations, historians thought William Claiborne descended from the ancient Cliburn family, a Westmoreland, England, clan who traced their lineage to Malcolm II, the first King of Scotland. William Claiborne of Virginia reportedly used the Cliburn coat of arms on his official documents, and the Cliburn heraldic emblem is on numerous Claiborne family gravestones, especially in Virginia. But in the 1940s, a Virginia genealogical researcher dispelled Claiborne's Westmoreland lineage after determining that Claiborne was the son of Thomas Clebourne, a Kent, England, native who once served as mayor, alderman and justice of the peace in King's Lynn, a Norfolk, England, village. The researcher suspected - but never determined - a link between Thomas Clebourne and the Cliburn family of Westmoreland." (See Torrence 1948)
William's Royal Descent:
     Two early books, Claiborne [1917] and Spraker [1922] stated that he had a royal ancestry.
          1. Spraker [1922:531] states that "William Claibourne came to Virginia in 1621, and was of royal descent. Through the De Toneys and Cliffords, he was descended from Edward III, King of England, Duncan and Malcom, Kings of Scotland..."
          3. Claiborne [1917] lays out this heritage in detail, back to Malcom of Scotland and Ethelred II of England.
     Using a third source, Leo van de Pas' website "Genealogics" presents essentially the same ancestry for William as that laid out in Claiborne [1917], and cites Browning [1969] as his source (the 7th edition published in 1969 is apparently a reprint of the 1911 ed.)
     In all of these sources, William is stated to be the son of Edmund Cleburne/Claibourne and his wife Grace Bellingham.
The Alternative Ascent for William:
     In both of his two major works concerning the medieval English ancestry of colonial American families (Plantagenet Ancestry and Magna Carta Ancestry), Richardson calls William the "2nd son of Thomas Clayborn, of Crayford, Kent, by his wife, Sarah Smith." Richardson cites several more recent studies, including Dorman [1995]. Richardson's lineage appears to be based on the work of Torence (1948).^{5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15} GAV-10. Thomas II Claiborne of Crayford, co. Kent was living between 1557 and 1607.⁴

     Sarah Smith married Roger James of Bednal Green, co. Middlesex
;
Her 1st husband.² Sarah Smith married Thomas II Claiborne of Crayford, co. Kent, son of Thomas I Claiborne, on 21 November 1598 at St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney Parish, co. Middlesex, England,
;
Her 2nd husband.
Per Torrence: "In the Register of Stepney Parish, St. Dunstan, County Middlesex, we find this entry:

Elizabeth, first named, sister of Capt. Thomas Brereton, and daughter of Col. Thomas Brereton and Jane Claiborne, married Capt. Thomas Winder, and had Elizabeth, aged 20 years in 1711, and then wife of Richard Kenner. The will of R.K. was proved January 18, 1726-'27. It mentions wife Elizabeth, daughter Hannah, sons Rodham and Richard, sisters Elizabeth Debutts, Frances Spellman, and Hannah Cralle. Leonard Howson left to his "daughter-in-law Elizabeth" a ring with her grandfather Brereton's coat-of-arms upon it. Capt. Henry Brereton (supra) had a son Thomas, apparently of age before 1703.

Flint, England, eldest son of John Lloyd, late of the city of Chester, Eng., deceased, to whom the land was conveyed in 1708 by Gilbert Metcalf, of London, merchant. John Lloyd was executor of Col. William Lloyd, of Richmond County, Virgnia, who died about 1704.

[jh note: this Thomas Marshall could also be Thomas Marshall d. May 30, 1704 Northampton Co. but I don't think so because this Thomas Brereton appears to have been born in Yorkshire and is probably the son of William Brereton and Elizabeth Goring. This Thomas Brereton is sometimes confused with Thomas Brereton who was the son of Sarah and William Brereton who died abt. 1690 in Somerset County, Md.]
