I'm not sure if it is the same person. I do know that the Green Clay I was referring to is the person for whom Clay County, KY was named. A web site about Clay County words it as follows: "The County was named for General Green Clay, a cousin of Henry Clay. General Green Clay was born 1757 in Virginia, and came to Kentucky in 1777. General Clay served in the Virginia Legislature, the Kentucky General Assembly, and in the War of 1812. May, 1813, General Clay, with 3,000 Kentuckians, at Ft. Meigs, held back the British and Indians. The General died in 1826."
