Biography

Thomas Clement is a part of US Black heritage.

Thomas was born about in 1831,^[1] probably in Bibb County, Alabama, but if not there, then in Edgefield South Carolina. His mother was probably (but not for certain, see Research Notes) the enslaved woman Rose.

In 1833, Thomas was 2 years old and living in Bibb County, Alabama, when owner Stephen Clement died. He was included in the inventory of his estate (transcription), and his monetary value was set by appraisers at $150. ^[1]

Between 1834 and 1840, it is likely that he was moved by Stephen's widow Leana to Hinds County, Mississippi.^[2]

Slave Owners

• Stephen Clement
• Leana (Jones) Clement

Research Notes

• In the estate inventory, Thomas was listed underneath Rose, suggesting Rose was his mother.
