Hello Ira and Amy,
For the record, Zeph Clement most certainly did have a first wife: She was Elizabeth Minter (the daughter of Joseph Minter and Anna Mariah Gooch) and she and Zeph had at least three children (Stephen, Isabell and Anna Mariah).
Joseph Minter’s Will (drawn 1774 in NC; letters testamentary obtained 1783 in the 96th District, SC) did not mention Elizabeth (she having predeceased), but a bill was brought to recover certain family slaves, claimed by the plaintiff, who was the last surviving child of Joseph Minter, under the will of said Joseph. This extremely lengthy suit stated (in part): “Besides the five children named in his will, the testator was reputed to have had a daughter, Elizabeth, who had become the wife of one Clement, and died in Virginia, leaving a son, Stephen Clements, and a daughter whose name was not stated at the hearing, probably Isabel.” Stephen, Isabell and Anna Mariah were all mentioned in greater detail later on in the proceedings, which were not finally settled until 1843 in Edgefield Co., SC, some 60 years after Joseph’s death!
Furthermore, when Joseph Minter’s widow Anna Mariah (by then remarried to Williams) died, her Will (1802 Edgefield Co., SC) specifically provided for her grandchildren Anna Mariah (Clement) Jones, Isabell Clement and Stephen Clement. Obediah Clement, Zeph’s brother, was one of the witnesses to this Will.
These Clement, Minter and Jones lines of Granville Co., NC and Edgefield Co., SC were exceedingly tangled by intermarriage. As much as we have learned, we’re always learning more and would be happy to exchange information with you.

Tammy's father is attached in this link, also ironically a Greenbrier, AR, Burkett too. That is a connection of my families in Chicago, to Henderson, TN, to Wooster/Greenbrier, AR.

Z:/2009 Veterans Day/copy/David M Jones.doc
“A big camping trip!” Vietnam vet wanted to see action, but now prays for peace By James A. Webb General Manager Between Nov. 3-22, 1967 a series of major battles in the Vietnam War took place in the central highlands near Dak To which eventually became known as “the border battles.” The battle for hill 875 cost 115 American lives and wounded 253, including David M. Jones of Chester County. Jones suffered 22 wounds and lost several teeth on Nov. 21, 1967. However, after recuperation in a hospital in Japan, Jones volunteered to return to the trenches with his unit, A Company, 2nd Platoon, 4th Battalion 503, 173rd Airborne SEP. More than 40 years later, Jones is one of the lucky ones that got to come home from ‘Nam. A truck driver for most of the intervening years, Jones is also one of the few veterans that are comfortable sharing his memories of America’s least popular war, referred to by the government as a “police action.” “It was a big camping trip, we were always in the jungle,” said Jones recently laughingly. Calling himself a big kid, Jones always thought he wanted to see action in war, but changed his mind quickly. “I thought, what the hell am I doing here? They are shooting real bullets at me.” Members of the 173rd Airborne received Presidential Unit Citations for their actions at Dak To, many posthumously. Jones remembers the situation well. “We went in through the night, arriving at daybreak. (But) that morning all hell broke loose,” Jones recalled. He was wounded by a mortar round, and so many died “they just piled up the bodies.” Lying on the ground suffering from his wounds, Jones remembers seeing jets coming in dropping 500-pound bombs. Eventually his buddies dragged Jones to a safer position, but doubled up in a fox hole, he felt he needed to straighten up to lessen the pain. “So they laid me on the ground above the fox hole, (and) we took a hit right where I had been lying.” He remembers getting in the med-evac chopper with blood gushing from just below his left eye, but not much else after that due to a quickly administered heavy dose of morphine. Jones later volunteered for two more six month tours in Vietnam, returning to the United States on Aug. 29, 1969. His homecoming was typical of the era without fanfare but rather insults. “I came home in full uniform to Seattle, and the hippies spat at me, and made murderous comments. If they did not want to serve, then I did not want them with me. Let ‘em go to Canada,” said Jones, who remembers many others he served with having the same sentiment. One of Jones’ friends had a different homecoming. On the way to Dak To, the fellow soldier predicted his own fate. “Smitty had only a few days left, and told me he would not make it out of this fire fight. He did not come home.” While Jones freely talks of his experiences in Vietnam, others he knew could not cope with their memories. In 1999 at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina, Jones reunited with 13 men he had known during the war, and among them was Chris Taylor of Fayetteville, Ga. “Chris could not put it down,” said Jones. He described his friend as having many emotional problems, and passed away two years ago. Jones said the movie Platoon was right out of his life. “The two main characters were us, Chris Taylor and David Jones.” The young 18-year old kid that wanted to see battle 42-years ago has obviously mellowed and changed over years. When his own son, Tyler, approached adulthood, Jones hoped his offspring would not seek a life in the military. Instead the elder Jones offers the following advice to whoever will listen. “Pray for peace, because peace would solve all our problems.” Submitted photo David M. Jones prepares to enter battle at Dak To, in Vietnam, on Nov. 21, 1967. He almost lost his life that day after suffering 22 wounds from enemy fire. Photo by James A. Webb,Independent David M. Jones, left, hoped his son Tyler, would not enter the military due to the treatment of many U.S. soldiers upon their return from Vietnam. >>>>>>>>>>> also have copy of the telegram informing his parents of him being wounded. <<<<<<< | |
