The Barclay family enjoyed a storied history in American politics. Robery Gutzloff Barkley's great-grandfather, Thomas Barclay, played a significant role in the American Revolution, serving as the first U.S. Counsel in France in 1781, and later Commissioner to Morocco, dying in 1793 in a duel with a Spanish nobleman who had cast aspersions on the character of American women. Thomas' son Robert was a merchant in Washington, D.C., as well as a Virginia landowner, marrying Sarah Coleman Turner, and having four children: Mary Elizabeth, Thomas Jefferson, James Turner and Anna Maria (Orianna). After Robert tragically drowned in the Rappahannock River in 1809, Sarah Coleman Turner married Captain John Harris of Viewmont and the family settled there in 1814. John Harris was a wealthy cotton merchant who owned eight large estates in and around Albemarle County, and he was a kind and generous stepfather. Thomas Jefferson studied at the University of Virginia and had just opened a law practice in Scottsville in 1828 when he was found drowned in the James River. Mary Elizabeth and Anna Maria (Orianna) married into the Moon family and settled at Viewmont. Among the children of Anna Maria (Orianna) Barclay Moon were Charlotte (Lottie) Moon, the famous Baptist missionary to China, and Orianna Moon Andrews, who attended the University of Pennsylvania, becoming one of the first female doctors in Virginia. In 1831, the Barclays exchanged their house in Charlottesville for a much grander address - Monticello, selling it in 1836 and moving to Viewmont. Robert Gutzloff Barclay's father, Dr. James Turner Barclay (1807 - 1874), entered the Medical College at the University of Pennsylvania in 1826, receiving his MD in 1828. After returning home, Barclay married Julia Ann Sowers of Staunton in 1830 and settled in a house on the northeast corner of Market and Seventh Streets in Charlottesville, where he opened a drug store. James Barclay’s religious fervor paved the way toward missionary work. While a Presbyterian, he considered going to China, but after his older brother’s death, his mother was unwilling to let her only surviving son go. Both of James’s sons were given the names of famous missionaries: Robert Gutzloff Barclay, born 1832, was named for Karl Gutzloff, a German missionary who served in Java, Thailand and China; John Judson Barclay, born in 1834, was named for Adoniram Judson, who spent his career in Burma.
