; Per Torrence: "The will of Thomas Cleyborne, the Elder, dated I December 1581, was proved 21 May 1582 by the Procurator of the Executor named ( who was Thomas Cleyborne, son of the testator), but being left unadministered by the said executor at his death (in 1607) administration was granted to the testator's daughter, Dorothy, on 14 December 1607."¹
     ;      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).^{3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13} GAV-11.

     NN Peláez (?) died after 955.¹
     GAV-32.

; Per Med Lands:
     "[daughter (-after [955]). Pérez de Urbel suggests that one of the daughters of Pelayo González was the mistress of Ordoño III King of León and the mother of King Vermudo II[75]. He bases his argument on three charters. Firstly, King Vermudo donated property to the monastery of San Lorenzo de Carbonario, for the souls of “abii mei divæ memoriæ comes dominus Gundisalbus...et...uxori...coniuncta comitissa domina Tarasia”, by charter dated 5 Jan 999[76]. The couple “comes dominus Gundisalbus...et...uxori...coniuncta comitissa domina Tarasia” are identified as Conde Gonzalo Betótiz and his wife Teresa Eriz, who lived in the late 9th/early 10th century and the birth of whose children is estimated to the early part of the 10th century (see above). Yepes noted the couple as founders of San Lorenzo de Carboeiro by charter dated 936, although he does not cite the primary source[77]. The chronology of Conde Gonzalo indicates that “abii” cannot in this document be interpreted in its strict sense of grandparents. However, if the word indicates more remote ancestry, it would be chronologically possible for King Vermudo´s mother to have been the granddaughter of Conde Gonzalo. Secondly, Pérez de Urbel cites the 973 charter quoted above which names the three sisters Gontroda, Aragonta and Teresa, all three nuns at that date. Thirdly, he discusses the charter dated 29 Jun 997 under which King Vermudo II donated property “ad Septentrione plaga, per latus, montis Villara...” to the monastery of San Vicente de Pombeiro, and confirmed donations made by “...amica [amita?] nostra domina Teresia...”, the document being subscribed by “...Teresia Deo dicata...”[78]. He suggests that “Tarasia Deo uota” in the 973 charter was the same person as “[amita] nostra...Teresa...Teresia Deo dicata” in the 29 Jun 997 charter. In light of these three documents, Pérez de Urbel suggests that King Vermudo´s mother was a daughter of Pelayo González and his wife Ermesinda Gutiérrez. Her possible name ELVIRA is suggested by an interpolation in the Cronica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the España Sagrada edition of the Chronicon, which records that “Rex Ordonius” abandoned (“reliquit”) his wife “Urracam filiam...comitis Fredinandi” and married “aliam…uxorem…Geloiram” by whom he had “Veremundum Regem, qui podagricus [“with gout”] fuit”[79]. The issues connected with this passage are discussed in detail in the document ASTURIAS, LEÓN KINGS. It is also possible that King Vermudo´s mother was either Gontroda or Aragonta, named above as Pelayo´s daughters, either of whom may have become nuns after his birth, or that she was a different otherwise unrecorded daughter who may have died soon after Vermudo´s birth and therefore left no trace in the surviving documentation. It should be noted that other arguments have been advanced in favour of the legitimacy of King Vermudo who, in that case, would have been born to his father´s known wife Urraca Fernández (see ASTURIAS, LEÓN KINGS). If that is correct, this suggested daughter of Pelayo González would probably not have existed at all.
