	An exhaustive search of the colonial era records provides no definitive proof for the parentage of [[Clyborns of Henrico\|John Clyburn]] who drowned in the swamp. This John just appears in the colonial record on 2 May 1678 when someone testified that they saw him fighting with Martin Elam, and after seven and a half years, is dead. He is not mentioned by name in any known Will or Probate, and he does not appear on any passenger manifests. In the following article, I will lay out a strong circumstantial case that, despite the lack of any single physical documents that could tie Edward directly to John, strongly supports the hypothesis that Edward Cleiborne is John's father.

	Logically, if Jeremy Blackman and Edward Cleiborne knew each other, and if Jeremy Blackman and Thomas Sheppey knew each other, then its not a stretch to think that Edward may have been introduced to Thomas Sheppey by Mr. Blackman. When you further consider that Blackman, Sheppey. And Clyborn all lived within 5 miles of each other and were certainly neighbors, they would have certainly known each other. And, circumstantially, they all would have known Edward as well.

	This trail of documents is as close as we are going to be able to get to placing Edward at the scene of the crime. Is this hypothesis 100% infallible and irrefutable? Of course not. Its possible that Ive missed a key detail or omitted or overlooked something. That being said, given my tenancity for completeness and thorough work, that does seem like a small possibility. If I were a betting man, I would bet that Edward is the father of John. Unless some new evidence comes to light that disproves this hypothesis, this is what I am assuming for this tree due to the preponderance of circumstantial evidence that can place Edward within 2 steps of people who knew John and in close proximity.

	Of all of the Clayborns of any spelling who come to America between 1600 and 1650, all of them can be accounted for and connected back to Col. William's family, except for three: Edward Cleiborn, Edward ~~Cleiborne~~, and Edward Claborne. I posit that these entries are all the same man. All of the others are either too young to be John's father, are women, or are Col. William himself - and we have already excluded him.

	The first Edward Cleiborne is listed in the US and Canada Passenger and Immigration Lists, 1500s to 1900s. The record states that he arrived in Virginia in 1635 at the age of 20. Further research shows that he arrived on a vessel called the 'Globe', which sailed from London and arrived 7 Aug 1635. The vessel was commanded by Jeremy Blackman. Mr. Blackman indeed used Edward's headrights, along with others, to purchase land in 1646. <ref> Cavaliers and pioneers; abstracts of Virginia land patents and grants, 1623-1800 by Nugent, Nell Marion (Pg. 164) <br> [[File:1646-Edward Headrights.JPG\|100px]]</ref> He is known to have lived in the Shirley Hundred.
