He had three brothers and four sisters, named Andrew, Hiram Harvey, William, Sarah, Ellen, Lydia and Serena. He was the third oldest of the eight children.General Notes
Abraham was not listed on the 1860 Lamar County Census, even though it is known that he and his family were living in Texas at that time. He may have been living in the nearby county of Red River.
1870 Lamar Co. TX Census: Abram Clement 34, AR; Francis Clement 32, TN; James R. 11, TX; Riley 8, TX; Salley 6, TX; William 5, TX; Elizabeth 3, TX; Mary 1, TX.
1880 Lamar Co TX Census: Arche (Abram) 40, AR; Frances Clement 40 TN; Riley C. 20; Elisabeth 12; Lee Ann 10; Allie (Ollie) 8; Delbert (Della) 6; John R. 4; Honey (Julia A.) 2.
1900 Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, Enumeration Dist. #169: Abraham Clement, May 1835, AR; Frances Clement, Nov 1836, TN, mother of 11 children, 8 of whom are living; James Tapp, 9, listed as a grandson; Zachariah Fox, Apr 1896, TX, listed as a son-in-law; Julia A. Fox, July 1897, TX. James Tapp is the son of Della Clement and her first husband, Zachariah Tapp. Della married her second husband, Thomas Levi Clement, (her 1st cousin) in 1900 in Indian Territory and they are living nearby.
What happened to Abraham after 1900 is not known for sure; however itis known that his daughter, Della, who had married his nephew, Thomas Levi Clement, had moved to Tishomingo, Indian Territory, as a couple of there children were born in Tishomingo before 1910. A record was found in "TheTishomingo News" dated Wednesday, May 24, 1906, relating the story of the stabbing death of Abe Clement "last night". A search was made of the Tishomingo newspaper and other county records, but no other mention of this incident could be found anywhere, except for a small article the following week saying that Albert Johnson appeared at a preliminary hearing of the charge of the murder of Abe Clement and that Johnson was committed to jail without bail. If this "Abe Clement" is our Abraham Clement is not known for sure.
NOTE: A recent discovery by this writer that Abraham's eldest son, William, had a son named Abe who was killed at age 19 (some say in Red River Co. TX) may indicate that this "Abe Clement" may, in fact, be William's son, as a story recorded in the Johnston County OK history book states that William Clement moved to Tishomingo, Indian Territory, and that he served as an early day Territorial Sheriff of Tishomingo.
