Biography

Clay was born with a strong political pedigree; he was the oldest son of Clement Comer Clay, a former senator and governor of Alabama, and was a third cousin of Henry Clay. In 1843 he was married to Virginia Tunstall, who later was known as Virginia Clay-Clopton.

Clay attended the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and graduated in 1834. He obtained a law degree from the University of Virginia in 1839 and was admitted to the bar in Alabama in 1840. He was a member of the Alabama State House of Representatives in 1842, 1844, and 1845. He then became a county judge in Madison County, Alabama and served from 1848 to 1850. He then ran for a seat in the United States Congress in 1850, but was not elected.

He was elected to serve in the United States Senate in a term beginning March 4, 1853. He withdrew from the senate as Alabama seceded from the Union.

He was subsequently elected Senator in the First Confederate Congress and served from 1862 until 1864.

Due to suspicions that he was involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, he and his wife were imprisoned in Fortress Monroe, in Hampton, VAin 1865, where they stayed for about a year.

He died in Madison County and is interred at Maple Hill Cemetery. (Wikipedia)
