November 1, 1935

Mrs. B.K. Scott
Park Avenue
Tallahassee, Florida

Dear Madam:

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension
claim S.8218 based upon the military service of Cornelius Clements.

He was born in 1757 near Augusta, Georgia. The names of his parents
were not given.

He moved to Rutherford County, North Carolina, in 1779 and enlisted
and served as private with the North Carolina Troops as follows: in
the winter of 1780, three months in Captain Gilkey's Company in
Colonel Hampton's Regiment; in the latter part of 1780, three months
in Captain James Withrow's Company in Colonel Hiller's Regiment;
from the summer of 1781, three months in Captain Lumkin's Company
in Colonel Malmady's Regiment and was discharged November 29, 1781.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 23, 1834
at which time he was living in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the soldier's 
family.

This is the history of the only soldier named Cornelius Clemente
that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office and 
the papers in said claim contain no data relative to his having
served in the War of 1812.

Very truly yours,

A.D. Hiller
Executive Assistant to the Administrator
