• Notes

  David Clemons, "was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, November 3rd, 1791. He was a distant relative of all those of his name. He came to this county when a young man and soon took an active part in the improvement of the same. During the years 1833-35 he resided in Berlin. From here he moved on the farm now possessed by John K. Devitt, then he moved to the vicinity of Preston where he died April 8th, 1852. In 1836 he was clerk for Waterloo Township and also collector of taxes for the same township. He may have held this position for several years. His family consisted of four children," Eby, Ezra E.
