Much of the information on these pages is the result of the work of the Claybourn Genealogical Society (www.claybourn.org). Although the coat of arms displayed on the website is incorrect, their genealogical records are superb. DNA testing has confirmed that this is a branch of the [[Cleburnes of Westmorland]] family, although we are unsure exactly how they connect as yet.
