[The Clement Family]

Among the early and prominent families of Red River County was that of Dr. S. E. Clement. He was born near Oxford Courthouse, Granville County, North Carolina; however, he afterwards moved to Virginia, then to east Tennessee, first settling in Rutherford County, later on in Henderson County, at Lexington.

His father, having engaged in agricultural pursuits, had accumulated in early life a considerable fortune. Later in life, however, he met with reverses which retarded his prospects. His property consisted chiefly of land and Negro slaves. His religious proclivities were very pronounced. He was favored with a long life, having lived to a ripe old age, honored and respected by all who knew him. His wife, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Clement, was also noted for her piety and many Christian graces. She died many years before her husband.

Dr. S. E. Clement was the third son of five, namely: Dr. Archibald, Eggberth, Dr. Henry and Lafayette Clement. There were three sisters: Miss Emily, Martha, and Isabella Jane Clement, all of whom were married and reared families in Tennessee and Texas.
