To Joanne re: John Clements
 
In an essay by Claude A Thompson written in 1939, now on-line at 
_www.newlondonmuseum.org_ (http://www.newlondonmuseum.org) 
 "The records of Surry County [VA] show the will of John  Clemens, May 2, 
1710, whose wife was Mary, and  children Samuel, John, and Anne. the executors of 
his will  were his "loving friends" Captain William Brown, Captain Thomas 
Holt, and Mr  William Thompson."  Samuel Clemens and Pamela  Goggin, the 
grandparents of 'Mark Twain', "lived on the line  between Bedford and Campbell County. 
 They were married in Bedford on Oct  23, 1797 and made their home in 
Campbell County.  Their first child was  John Marshall Clemens, father of 'Mark 
Twain.'   Samuel Clemens evidently came to Campbell from Surry County on  the lower 
James River."
 
I can not vouch for the accuracy of Thompson's account but the entire 34  
page essay is quite interesting.
 
Good luck in your search.    Mike Beard
