    3. Does anyone have information on John Clement who is said to be the only Black person to have owned land in Callahan Co. I believe he and his mother were employees of Dr. J.D. Windham who settled about 1880 near Oplin. I think John Clement's mother had been a slave of the Windhams but I'm not sure. In the 1940's I remember my father who was a rural mail carried mail to Mr. Clements who would sometimes meet us at the mailbox mounted on his horse. I remember him sitting very erect on a big white horse. I'd appreciate knowing more about this interesting man. Other than John Clement and his mother, were there ever any other Blacks living in Callahan Co? John Poole Houston, TX
