Hi Cassie. My Clemons are descended from "Big Al" Alcie Clemons. One of his sons or grandsons married Ella Veal in 1932 in Bastrop. Big Alcie was the father of my great-grandmother, Juanita Clemons White Glover Wells. She was born in Feb 1896 and died in Feb 1972. Her sibling were: Estella, Little Alcie, Tom( (Marcellus), Hattie Bell, Lucy, Miriah, Alvira, Lonnie, Lillie, Mattie and Rosa. Some of these had moved to Williamson County by the 1920 Census. The highlighted marriages are family. Anyone look familiar to you? Do you recognize any of the others? Cert. Type/# Name Vol./Page # Date of Event Place of Event Marriage/?
