The John Clay who was the father of Henry Clay the Statesman had five sons: There was a Henry Clay who died around the age of 8; Henry Clay (1777-1852) the Statesman; George Hudson Clay (1768-1796) who died unmarried and without issue in Richmond, Virginia; John Clay (ca 1775-1829) who died without issue on a steamboat on the Mississippi River and was buried in Arkansas, he lived in New Orleans before his death; and Porter Clay (1779-1850) who was a Baptist preacher. He passed away in Arkansas. In a letter of Henry Clay the Stateman in 1852, he states that Porter Clay's only heir at that time was a grandson named Porter Clay Taylor. There is no son of John Clay who was ever in Minnesota or Maine so far as existing records indicate. It would be quite odd for anyone in this family to use the name Cassius or any other such Roman name. This naming pattern did not occur in this branch of the Clay family.
