Daniel Clayton was the father of Clara Clayton. His brother was Ulysses S. Clayton and wife was Martha Clayton.

Daniel collected butterflies and discovered the rare species he named Lepidoptera martha, after his future wife, while on the Oregon Trail. About five years after their marriage, Daniel and Martha moved back to the east where they gave birth to Clara in New Jersey.

When Clara was 11, she was quarantined in her room with diphtheria for three months. In order to give his daughter something to do those three months, Daniel bought Clara a telescope which he put next to her bed so she could see out her window. This made him ultimately responsible for Clara's soon-after developed interest in science and astronomy, traits she shared with her future husband Emmett Brown.
