D.B. 17 p 200-201 Daniel Clement paid taxes on 170 acres on Sycamore Creek, 1811 through 1816 ( book isworn & almost illegible so perhaps last date was 1818.)

1812:
Compiler has War of 1812 records for Daniel Clement but has been able to prove they are of this person. There are five records, VA Militia, from Mar 1813 through June 1814. Place of enlistment is not shown.

23 Dec 1813 Daniel Clement imports slaves. Names of slaves are those in his father's will for Daniel and brother Stephen. They exchanged one or two. D.B 18, p 372 15 Jan 1814

How long it stayed in the family is not known. The compiler has been on this property, and it has not been in the family for many years.

4 Feb 1819 Daniel and Wilmoth (sic) Clement of Pittsylvania Co, Va sell to Shadrack Mustain a tract or parcel of land lying on both sides of Sycamore Creek , containing by estimation 170 acres, for and in consideration of the sum of four hundred and twenty-five dollars. Land bounded on East by Edward Franklin's line, on North by George Camp's line, on the West by Isaac Coles (decd) line, and on the South by Thomas Dalton's line. D.B. 22, p 179 Magistrates were Charles Clementsand Joel T Adams.

Feb 1819-- July 1822 Where was this family?
A Twelfth Surveyor;s District list including Henry Co, Tn and what are now Carroll, Weakley and Benton Counties shows Daniel Clement received 2 deeds with total acrage of 2,834, in the early 1800's. Land owners were not allowed to move into the area until after the Jackson Purchase in 1818, and by that time some of the deeds had been sold to other settlers. The deeds were under control ofthe University of N.C. and Cumberland College ( Article from Paris Post-Intelligencer,Paris, Tn July 24, 1981 by Charles D Robbins and Shelly Scott).

Was Daniel Clement in Ashville or Raleigh N.C.while waiting to enter Henry County which was not formed until 1821?

6 July 1822 "Records of Bonds and Wills 1822-1827", County Clerk's Office, Paris, Tennessee. Thomas Gray, Jesse C Gainer and Daniel Clement of Henry County were bound unto William Carroll, Esquire, Governor, in the sum of $1677.75 when Thomas Gray was appointed Collector of public raxes. Each signed, and a seal was affixed for each.

1830 Henry Co, Tn Census: Daniel Clement has a wife, the 5 children who were born in Va and a young son and daughter. In the 1850 census we found the latter two were Abraham b. Tn 1826, and Rachel b Tn 1828. An uncle recalled that "grandpa Nathan had a half-brother and a half-sister."

Retrospect: What happened to Wilmoth (Irby) Clement between Feb 1819 and 1825? Did she refuse to move from Vaor? did she die?

Who was the mother of Abraham and Rachel Clement, b Tn 1826 and 1828 respectively?

1840: Daniel not found in Tn-had he moved into another State? When and where did Daniel Clement die? Did he leave a will? His brother Stephen stayed in Pittsylvania Co, Va. Perhaps an old record there will enlighten us.

Irby

Were Wilmoth (Irby) Clement and Frances Irby of Pittsylvania, Co children of Francis Irby whose Inventory was dated 1795? Wife was Jane Leprand.

In 1800 Nathan Glenn of Halifax Co, Va was guardian for orphans of Francis Irby, deceased. Wilmoth Irby who married Daniel Clement in 1807 was one of those orphans. Who left her land in Pittsylvania Co, Va? How was she related to Rebecca (Irby) Marlow?
