William Clements


(This page is a work in progress)


William was a Sergeant in command at historic Fort Daniel during the War of 1812.


William may have been receiving his mail from both Gwinnett and Hall County post offices which is another indication that his home was on the boundary line.

It is apparent that the lands along the Mulberry are along the extreme northern portion of river.  William Clements' land was on the "south fork of the Mulberry" which seems to infer that the land was not on the main course of the Mulberry but a prong of the river.
