Hello,Pam. In looking at the !860 and 1870 Census Index, I found the following: [CLEM surname; all in Southern Subdivision] 1860; Giles Co,TN. Pg# 51: Calvin A., Madison L., Margaret A., Martha H., William A.J., William B. [who was noted as HOH]. Pg# 58: Brice M.L., Eliza, Elzira, George T., Mary E., Nancy, Sarah M., William [who was noted as HOH]. Pg# 64: Isaac 1870: I didn't find any CLEMS in Giles Co,TN., which probably means that they removed to another area [or were missed in the census count...]. In the Index, there was "William CLEM" in Izard Co,AR [1]; Clark Co,KY [1]; Harlan Co,KY [4]; Shenandoah Co,VA. [4]; Marion Co,IN [1]. (I did locate a Sarah F. CLEM in 1870, Johnson Twp., Shenandoah Co,VA.) NOTES: I'm just guessing [I have not checked the census records], but my guess is that William B. [Pg. 51] may be the son of William [Pg. 58], and that William A.J. may be your "James CLEM". I don't know whether Isaac is on his own, or a member of someone else's household... might even be the "grandfather" in a married daughter's home...? This is something you will just have to check out, so don't jump to conclusions! Taking this supposition into account, you will probably want to check out the William CLEMs in [1870] Harlan Co,KY, and especially Shenandoah Co,VA. - in the event that the entire family moved together... but then again, it may be entirely different CLEMs... [Just out of curiosity, please let me know the outcome!] ___Minnie HILLIS REAGOR boan wrote: > Hi > does anyone have the index or actual census of the 1860 and or 1870 giles > co tn census. > I am looking for parents of my Clem ancestors. > James Clem and his sister S.
