Not really for any reason, but with the drought and such I thought it might be alright. Does anyone know where Clay's family originates from? I'm pretty sure I've either listened to or read every article that's come our way but I don't remember him ever talking about this...did I miss it? Is he Irish? Dutch? English? Scottish? I'm personally a melting pot of heritage and have always found it interesting to know people's backgrounds. Anyway, just thought I'd throw it out there, see if anyone knows!!

I believe I remember reading about someone asking him at a meet and greet and that's what he told them.

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	He's english? Well that explains it all for me. I love English men. As for my guess, I always thought he was Irish or Scottish or something of that sort. I'm not really good a pointing things out like that, seeing as my familys all Italian and not very exciting to research.

I remember reading that too.I told my hubby as he and my late Mother do and did a lot of family reserach in NC.The Dutch and Icelandic background is unusal in NC as most of the early settlers were English and Scottish.I would love to know which side of Clay's family has the Dutch and Icelandic blood?

The Irish blood would explain his fair not-easily-tanned-skin and the Icelandic blood would explain his cheekbones...hehe this is fun. I don't really recall him saying anything about his heritage though.

I cannot quite recall how far I got, just using computer resources and LTS, but I'll see if I can find it if anybody is interested.

And now that someone else mentioned it, I think I remember hearing/reading that he had discussed it in a m&g too...maybe someone from that m&g will see this thread!
