Rice Richard Clayton (15 November 1798 – 4 May 1879), sometimes Richard Rice Clayton,[1][2] was a British Conservative politician.[3]
Born in Harleyford, Buckinghamshire, Clayton was the fourth son of Sir William Clayton, 4th Baronet and Mary née East. He was first educated at Eton College, before attending Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1820 and a Master of Arts in 1824. He also entered Lincoln's Inn in 1819.[2] In 1832, he married Maria Amelia Nugent, daughter of Sir George Nugent, 1st Baronet, and they had at least six children: Richard Nugent Clayton (born 1833); Francis Edmund Clayton (born 1844); Arthur John Clayton (born 1846); Maria Augusta; Louisa Maude; and Emily Rose.[4]
Clayton became a Conservative MP for Aylesbury at the 1841 general election but was defeated at the next general election in 1847.[2][3][4][5]
During his life, Clayton was also a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Buckinghamshire, as well as a High Sheriff for the same county in 1838.[2][4]
