JOHN G. CLEMENTS was born in this township May 12,1830, son of James and
Elizabeth (Garr) Clements, the father a native of Virginia, and the mother
of Kentucky. The parents married in Kentucky, and soon after the war of 1812
located in this township, where they reared twelve children, and lived until
their deaths. They were excellent people, leaving a name above reproach.
John G. was brought up a farmer, and was educated at the common schools. At
the age of twenty-one years he began for himself, working, for $7 per month,
and later renting a farm, and still later bought part of the old place, to
which he has since, added eighty acres, now owning 180 acres. He did all
this by good management and industry. He married Judith A. Sallee, December
19, 1855. She was born in Washington County, this State, December 21, 1832.
and has borne her husband five children: James E., Christiana E., Martha A.,
Mary E. and John A. W. Mr. Clements is comfortably situated, and devotes
himself to the intelligent management of his farm. He is a Republican, and a
member of the Presbyterian Church.
