Nicholas Clement
by
Stefan Bielinski


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!
