Biography

He was born about 1730 and his parents were Benjamin Clemons,Clement and Susannah Hill.

Capt. Isaac Clement(s) married Anne Denham of Wales (b: 18 July 1772 d: 23 Dec 1856) [1] and their children included Hugh, Stephen and Isaac Jr.

Prior to the war, he was a member of the County Committee on Safety.

During the American in the Revolutionary War he commanded a company of Pittsylvania Militia. [2]

An Act of the General Assembly on 04 May 1780 ordered 2,500 infantry men to go to the aid of South Carolina. 97 men under Capt. Isaac Clement and Lt. Benjamin Duncan went from Pittsylvania County. At Hillsboro, North Carolina, they joined the 3rd Virginia Regiment under Maj. Henry Conway in Gen. Edward Stevens' Brigade. They marched south at night until they came to Gen. Gates' forces in front of Cornwallis at Rudgely's Mill. Gen. Harry "Light Horse" LEE blamed Gates for their defeat at Camden because the troops were untrained for battle. As they retreated northward, Capt. Isaac Clement's Company of Pittsylvania Militia and other Virginia troops camped for the night at the edge of a frog-infested swamp. The exhausted men slept soundly until they were awakened by a terrifyingly deafening noise. Capt.Isaac later told it many times, with great delight, that his brother Adam, Captain of the Bedford Militia, also camped there, upon being awakened and thinking the frog noise came from Col. Tarleton's troops, leaped to his feet, drew his sword and cried, "Gentlemen, I surrender".
