Looking for proof of Rev. War service of my Christian Clement (variously spelled during his lifetime), Augusta County, VA. Here's what I know about him:
Christian Clements died before Mar 15, 1783 in Augusta County, Virginia, when his will was proved.
He married Catharine Margaret Vaught. She was born ca. 1715 in Germany and died ca. June, 1793, when her will was proved. She was the daughter of Johan Paul Vaught and Mary Katrine --.
Christian owned land on Deep Run, which was patented Nov 21, 1734. That land today is in Madison County, Virginia, near the Culpeper County line and on State Route 609. The road was originally Bloodworth’s Trail, then Bloodworth’s Road, and then State Route 609. A few months later, his future father-in-law, John Paul Vaught, bought land adjacent to his.
On Sep 25, 1746, Christian Clements patented land on the southeast side of the South River of the Shenandoah.
In 1749, Christian Clements and John Paul Vaught had a survey run on land on South River.
On Nov 27, 1755, the following appeared in Augusta County Records (Chalkley’s Augusta County Books, page 440):
“Page 139 - By order of Vestry, dated 27 November, 1755, subscribers have processioned all the patroned land within bounds of Cap. William Christian’s Company. . . .”
“Page 147 -1755: Samuel Givens processioned as follows. . . Christian Clemons, present, Christian Clemons, Jr.; for Geo. Trout, Geo. Trout.”
In 1758, Christian Clement was in the Augusta County, Virginia, militia. (Virginia Militia by William Armstrong Crozier, 1905, Volume 2 of his Virginia County Records, page 61)
In 1770, Christian Clemons gave 266 acres in Augusta County, Virginia to John Maharfey for five shillings, Virginia money, and one peppercorn annually thereafter. (Augusta County, Virginia Deed Book 16, pages 297-299)
His children were Gasper, John, Catherine, who married George TROUT, Margaret, who married Henry LYNER, Eve, who married Philip BARGER, and Elizabeth.
I have further info on Christian, and would like to trade it with others who have info to share.
