Eleventh Generation

60. John Marshall CLEMENS was born on 11 Aug 1798 in Campbell Co, , VA. He was buried in Mar 1846 in Hannibal, Marion Co, MO. He died on 24 Mar 1847 in Hannibal, Marion Co, MO. As a youth he became a clerk in an iron manufactory, at Lynchburg, and doubtless studied at night. At all events, he acquired an education, but injured his health in the mean time, and somewhat later, with his mother and the younger children, removed to Adair County, Kentucky, where the widow presently married a sweetheart of her girlhood, one Simon Hancock, a good man. In due course, John Clemens was sent to Columbia, the county-seat, to study law. When the living heirs became of age he administered his father's estate, receiving as his own share three Negro slaves; also a mahogany sideboard, which remains among the Clemens effects to this day.
