This site is dedicated to the lives of my Clement ancestors going back to Revolutionary War America. I have compiled and written several history books about my more immediate Clement ancestors. With this website I now have the opportunity to share the information to a much wider audience through the blessing of the Internet.

My earliest confirmed Clement ancestor is Darius Clement Sr. (b. 1771), who lived in Dryden, New York, from 1811 to 1854. He left little information about his family origins, but he did mention some key facts, including the name of his father, Thomas Clement, for whom we now have considerable data (updated July 3, 2023). SEE POST BELOW.

I am using this blogger format to present the histories I've been privileged to assemble in book form. In the right-hand column are name headings under which appear links to various sub-sections. I hope this structure will make it easy for readers to access the things that are most interesting to them. I have included as many photographs as possible to give the reader a personal feel for the people and subject matter. There is also a place for comments, so please contribute if you have something to add. The blog post section (where this welcome message appears) will be used to convey the latest news of interest from members of the wider Clement family, and also to explain what's new on the site..

Please participate! I hope these histories will be of some benefit to Clement descendants of younger generations who would like to know something of where they came from.
