Hi Deborah....
Seems we may have some conflict here about Susannah Hill's
parents. (Also Capt. is an abreviation for the title
Captain I always place it before the last name) Here are
some notes that I have:
Benjamin, son of William Clements, married Miss Susannah
Hill. Patented land on Sycamore Creek, on Staunton River,
and later made his home there (1748). He lived in Amelia
County, Virginia and sold the plantation in 1748 when he
moved to the Staunton River land. Whe Halifax County became
a county in 1751, Benjamin Clements, a Gentleman, was a
Justice of the Peace and appointed Captain of a company of
Rangers for Hailax in 1755. He was the first to manfacture
gunpowder in the Colony and he and his neighbor, Charles
Lynch, had a mill which tunred out 50 pounds a day. In the
Hailfax County Militia as Captain. Died in Lunenburg
County. Home known as "Clements Hill" with house
overlooking a knoll on Staunton Ruver.
Benjamin continued to live on the Staunton River in a
mansion with corner fireplace.
He was married to the daughter of Colonel Isaac Hill of
King and Queen County. Charles Clements, a son of Adam and
Agnes Clements, inherited the place and in 1803 married
Miss Nancy Hamby of Patrick and made his home there. The
property passed John L. Hunt through a marriage with
Nannaie Clements, grandaughter of Charles.
