Elizabeth Claybrook is probably not his mother. His father was married three times, and I'm not yet sure the dates for the marriages. See his notes.

I know of only one daughter born before 1810, but there is a gap in his children where two more could fit.
His brother Roland is also in Wayne Co, but I don't see their father Jeremiah.
