CHARLES CLAY (1638-1686) son of Capt. John Clay, married HANNAH WILSON, daughter of John Wilson, Sr., of Henrico County, where they also lived, near the site of present Petersburg. CHARLES distinguished himself by serving in Bacon's Rebellion.

Times were hard in Virginia in the 1670s. Tobacco prices were low, taxes were high and Indians were attacking frontier settlements. Governor Berkeley did little toward protecting border settlers; colonists thought his inaction due either to fear of a war or his reluctance to disturb his profitable fur trade with the Indians. When Nathaniel Bacon assumed leadership in defense of the frontier against its attackers, Governor Berkeley proclaimed that Bacon and all fighting under him were rebels and mutineers. Men who had taken oath under Bacon soon found themselves fighting the very men they were trying to protect. Then Bacon died from swamp fever and the rebellion fell apart. A number of lesser leaders were hanged on Governor Berkeley's orders.

The very fact that CHARLES CLAY fought under Bacon in this early uprising against English rule indicates that he was a man of courage and determination
