Nicholas
Clement
Nicholas Clement was born in 1750. He was the only surviving child of the marriage of Interpreter Jacobus Clement and his wife Jannetje Van Woert.
In
1767, he was identified as a fifer in Abraham Cuyler's
company of the Albany County Militia.
He
probably lived with his widowed mother until he married
Albany area native Rachel De Garmo. The couple left
the Albany area sometime after the birth of their
daughter in 1777. His wife was buried in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania in 1823!

Notes: The
life of Nicholas Clement is CAP biography number
7651. This brief profile is derived chiefly from
family and community-based resources. Like many
early Albany boys, he seems to have vanished. Not
so! With your help, we will find out what happened
to him.
Nicholas
Clement was not listed on the Federal Census of 1790
in New York State. He also was not mentioned surrounding
the death and Albany burial of his mother in 1796.
