Hi Cousin Lisa, I'm a descendant of Capt. Benjamin and Susannah thru son Adam Clement who married Agnes Johnson. "Clement Hill" still exists and you can visit it. It's a rental property, though, and not kept up well. The knowledge of the exact location of Benjamin and Susannah's final resting place has probably been lost with the passing of Maude Carter Clement years ago. There's a chance that it was also swept away by the construction of Staunton Plaza along US 29 Business. Ownership of "Clement Hill" passed (if I understand it correctly) to Charles Clement, son of Adam. From there it passed to John L. Hurt, husband of Nannie Kate Clement, granddaughter of Charles (Nannie Kate is the sister of my 2nd great grandmother, Lucy Charles Clement). I may be missing a step or two in the line of ownership. After that it went to John Hurt, Jr., nephew of John L. Hurt. He then deeded the home to the town of Hurt -- the town of Hurt no longer owns it, though. I have a link on my webpage at http://www.toad.net/~tomjones/ that may give a bit more on the history than I'm trying to remember here. Also, there is a mailing list dedicated to the Benjamin Clement / Susannah Hill family -- the command address is CLEMENT-BENJAMIN-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com .
