I recently uncovered some information on the CLEMENTS and this may help us figure out some of the CLEMENTS information we have not be able to figure out, so far. Andrew and his son, Gabriel CLEMENTS were of Bedford and Pittsylvania County, VA. Gabriel moved to Orangeburg County, SC where his daughter, Ruth, married William PATTERSON (1788-1866) of Burke County, GA in 1809. William died in Decatur County, GA. Their son, Robert Carr PATTERSON married a Sarah Jones HICKEY, d/o James Edgar HICKEY and Jane C. CARSWELL, all of Burke County, GA. Jane was the daughter of Ens. John C. CARSWELL RS-GA (1760-1817) and Sarah WRIGHT of Burke County, GA. Her sister, Elizabeth CARSWELL born 1798 married a Christopher DANIEL. The WRIGHTS were also of Ireland. In 1830 in Burke County, GA a Christopher DANIEL is living within 10 houses of my Robert C. DANIEL (ABT 1765-AFT 1830), near the PROCTORS, BYNES and MURPHEYS. Elizabeth's sister, Nancy CARSWELL, married Rev. Nicholas MURPHEY, as his second wife. Two of Brother Nicky's daughters by his first wife, Nancy Ann COLLINS, married my DANIEL boys. The COLLINS were from New Bern, Craven County, NC, as were the WYSE's, (WISE)whose kids also married into my DANIEL bunch. In 1836 in Burke County, GA, a William PATTERSON sued by GGF, Robert W. DANIEL (1809-1865), the details of this suit I do not know because these records have been lost but I will bet it had to do with family. Contrary to what some researchers now state, I think these PATTERSONS were from up country, SC -- Lexington, Columbia area before migrating to Burke County, GA. I also think the CLEMENTS we see in Greene County, GA are possibly related to these CLEMENTS in Orangeburg County, SC and the C. in my Robert C. DANIEL may well be Robert Clements DANIEL. A real possibility because the C. floats all through this bunch but CARR is also a possibility, as is Chesley and Council. The CARSWELLS were from Ireland and children of Lord William CARSWELL, Earl of March and Ruglon, afterward, Fourth Duke of Queensbury. Notice this Queensbury name because a similar name will float through this bunch, later. Also, William's son, Alexander CARSWELL (1728-1808) migrated, first, from Ireland to Savannah, GA and then to Queensborough, NY, according to one CARSWELL researcher Later, he migrated back to Burke County, GA. I do not know if the Queensborough to which they refer is a Queensborough, NY or the Queensborough settlement in Burke County, GA. Maybe someone else knows. What this really smells like, to me, is Quaker, because Orangeburg SC had a big Quaker settlement but that is just a guess.... John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA
