James Clinton ( – 24 January 1718) sired the American branch of the prominent Clinton family including 4th Vice President of the United States George Clinton and Revolutionary War Major General James Clinton.

According to Clinton family lore, James Clinton was an Anglo-Irish soldier and politician.[1] Clinton’s name does not appear to be extant in contemporary political papers, or contemporary military documents, and the details of possible military and political careers thus far remain a mystery.
