Donna: As you know I research Franklin Co. since thats where my people started. I have never come across this name Clem, however its sounds like it could be German, have you tried the various Lutheran Church burial records, for the period of time that you are looking they are pretty good and I have found quite a few people in them, not only that but the Evan. Lutheran Churches of Chambersburg,. Fayetteville, and Grindstone (I think) shared the same pastor and parsonage during that period of time which could narrow the search.

Donna, There are five CLEM marriages in the Frederick County MD Marriage Licenses from 1778-1810 which is much earlier than when you're looking. These are all marriages into families with German surnames - Shook, Durst, Stimmell, Umbaugh, etc. and they run from 1799-1809. Let me know if you want them. In 1826 there is a marriage in Washington County between John GRAY and Miss Mary CLAM. In the groom's index there is one CLEM marriage - Luke/Susan MYERS 7/12/1855. Abraham NICELY/Sarah CLEM 12/26/1859 There is also an Elizabeth CLUM marriage listed in 1806. The index of marriage licenses only goes to 1860. I found a few traces, but most of my resources are earlier than the period you're looking at.
