He also supported the Baptist preachers imprisoned for breaching ecclesiastical law in the county jail in 1771. Ordained as a minister in 1775, Clay preached for more than 50 years, organized three other churches, served as a moderator for the Middle District Baptist Association when it was formed in 1784, and published <i>Hymns and Spiritual Songs</i> in 1793. Clay is kinsman of statesman Henry Clay (1777-1852). Elezar Clay's home site and tomb are located approximately two miles south. Department of Historic Resources, 2002
