Biography
Big John was born about 1754, the son of John Clements and Elizabeth Thompson.
He died in the "Battle of Blue Licks, fought on August 19, 1782, which was one of the last battles of the American Revolutionary War. The battle occurred ten months after Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown, which had effectively ended the war in the east. On a hill next to the Licking River in what is now Robertson County, Kentucky (then Fayette County, Virginia), a force of about 50 American and Canadian Loyalists along with 300 American Indians ambushed and routed 182 Kentucky militiamen. It was the last victory for the Loyalists and Indians during the frontier war." [quoted from Wikipedia]
