Many of Clements descendents kept the spelling Dees    although some even in the same line from Briant Dees changed the spelling to Deese including my great grandfather John Robert "Bob" Deese who changed his in 1896 although his brother James Manford and his descendents continued with Dees.  

 Clement and
 Elizabeth are buried in the "Old Dees
 Cemetery" located about 4 miles N.E. of Marshville, left of Marshville and
 Olive Branch Rd.

Clement appears to have died interstate and there were some filings in regards to his belongings. 

The following is a grant of land from William P Little to Clement Dees some of the wording was hard to make out.
