Clement Vawter is the son of Samuel Vawter and Agnes Richardson. Samuel’s inventory of estate is found in Cumberland Co., VA, 1789.Clement died ca 1819, Patrick Co., VA Inventory of estate 20 Feb 1819. The 1820 census Patrick Co. lists head of household “Sally” Vawter.
There is no proof of this connection but interesting is John Clements connected to Clement Vawter’s grandfather, Edward.Perhaps this is where the name is derived, they were neighbors.Further study is needed. Essex Co., Deed Book 1738-1742. pp. 211-213. 17 Mar 1740. From a line in Samuel Browne’s old field then a straight line toward the Burying Place in Job Spearmans old field until it cometh to the said Spearman’s line then to John Clements land being 50 acres Wit: Wm. Thomas, Elizabeth Browne and Edward Vawter.
(GJNote: Saml Browne and wife Elizabeth sold land to John Clements, the mention of the “burying place” is the graveyard of the Vauter’s Church of today.)
John Poole conducted a dancing school at Prince Edward (VA) County Court house about 1784.His fee was 150 lbs. tobacco for 6 months instructions, 3 times per month.One of the students was Clement Vawter.

William Snyder Vawter’s material of the 1920’s states: Lemuel Vawter, son of Thomas m. Sally Johnson.Lemuel was born ca 1781.Children were: Jessie Richardson b. 17 May 1809 d. Apr 1888, William b. ca 1811, John b. ca 1813, 2 daughters and another son unnamed.
This information is incorrect as we have a marriage record that shows Clement Vawter m. Sally Johnson in 1788 and Lemuel would have been but 7 years old. However, the families of Lemuel, Thomas and Samuel are all connected by marriage.
Patrick Co., VA Wills and Inventory p. 301 dated 20 Feb 1819.Inventory of the estate of Clement Vaughter by William Carter, Samuel Hamby, J. Tatun, Jas. Howell.Hogs, cattle, horse, 1 still, house furniture, copper tools, plantation tools, 8 books, 5 beds and furniture.No total returned.

Males 1 under 10, 2 10/16, 1 16/18,1 18-26.Females 1 10-16, 3 16/26, 1 over 45.
Nine children still at home in 1820, at least one son Ludwell was married prior to this date and perhaps others as a daughter Priscilla is mentioned by family members but has not yet been found by record.
