Hello.....pardon me if I jump in her while reading he posts about Clement Hill.
I have a question for you or anyone else who reads these posts. My BIG brick wall is my WALTER ALEXANDER CLEMENTS, b. about 1796/98 in Charles Co. MD.
I saw this marriage below posted on Ancestry:
Kentucky Marriages, 1802-1850 about Walter Polly Clements Crandell
Spouse 1: Clements, Walter
Spouse 2: Crandell, Polly
Marriage Date: 28 Feb 1825
Marriage Location: Kentucky
Garrard County
Now, I know that my Great-Grandfather Gustavus Austin Clements, son of Walter, was born in Garrard Co. on 17 April 1834 ( Is on his Civil War records).
I have seen this same Walter and Polly (Crandell) Clements many times and makes me wonder IF Walter was married 3 times. This record shows she was the 2nd spouse. The wife of Walter listed on the marriage record for Gustavus and Mary Ann (Kinlan) Clements, was “Mary Ann Moody”. I find it hard to believe that Gustavus was an only child. But could have been. Walter and his son Gustavus lived later in Louisville, KY....1860 or so time frame.
I wasn’t able to connect my Walter for many, many years, but Garrard County really stands out for me. If anyone has any information for my Clements line, please let me know. There are so many "Walter Clements" that it makes it very hard to find mine. Other Clements researchers have said my Walter was in Benjamin Clements line, but there was never any proof. I will gladly share the information I have on my Clements line from MD to KY and IN.
Sincerely,
Jane

Joy-It truly saddens me that Clement Hill has fallen on such terrible times. My mother and I visited there about 20 years ago. It was in good repair, but unfortunately no one was at home when we stopped. I am also a descendant through Benjamin Jr. I have had the pleasure to visit Adam Clements home in Campbell County twice. The first time the lovely lady who lived there gave us a tour of the cemetery as well as the house. It was a bit in need of repair. She also gave me lye soap that she had made outside in a large cauldron. She also had done a history up of the Clement family. We had a wonderful visit. 5 years ago this June we returned to find that her grandson had ownership of the house and had done a repair on the back wall and replastering some of the rooms. He also told us about the cemetery about a 1/4 mile behind the house which was where slaves were buried. Due to time of day and time constraints we did not go to the cemetery, I wish we had, as my mother passed on th!
at trip in Nashville area. She got ill and passed quickly. So I was happy we had been able to return and see that the house was still there and in better repair. Sean (pronounced C-Ann)

On Monday, May 11 my husband, a direct descendent of Capt. Benjamin Clement, and I had an appointment with Michael Hudson, Director of the Avoca Museum (site of Col. Charles Lynch's home) in Alta Vista, VA.
Our purpose of the appointment was to exchange information about the manufacture of gunpowder during the Revolutionary War and the part the partnership of Lynch and Clement played during that time. It was a very productive meeting. He had materials we didn't have and we had information he had no idea about.
Michael had secured permission to visit Clement Hill in advance of our visit and we drove over there together. I had seen the photos from 2000 and 2001 when Otho Clement visited when it looked like someone could and did live there.
Otho was able to drive up to the house, but we could only drive half way up the hill and had to climb up the rest of the way.
The last tenants left the place like a dump. The weeds are knee high; there is debris strewn about the grounds. An old tire here, an empty gasoline can there. Otho's photos showed 2 stairways ascending to the living quarters; today there is only one stairway left and at least one of the timbers is rotting. The concrete footing is there, but no stairway. A sheet of plywood has been nailed across the windows of the kitchen.
At the foot of Clement Hill (where Capt. Ben and Susannah are supposedly buried) is an abandoned strip mall all boarded up. A very depressing site.
For anyone who ventures up there, I suggest taking bug repellent along.
I will be posting pictures to my website as soon as I get unjetlagged.
