Anne Clayton (c. 1628-1707/8) was a servant in the household of Margaret Fell, in Swarthmore, Cumbria, who became a Quaker in 1652 at the same time as her more famous mistress. As a Quaker for over fifty years, she traveled, ministered, and was a substantial member of a small Quaker community in America. She is best known for her pamphlet to Charles II.
