During the 1840's he purchased four 160 acre agricultural lots in the
wild mountainous Penitentiary Cove area surrounding the fertile valleys of
Montgomery Creek, in the No. 935 Davis Militia District of Hall County GA,
near the Two Run Post Office, which became the Jones Creek District and
the No. 1252 Hightower Dist. of Lumpkin County in 1871. The area later
became part of the Chattahoochee National Forest and is known as a
fisherman's paradise. (11)
He was active in civic affairs, (11) served jury duty in the 1836-1837
and built, Lumpkin County Courthouse, Dahlonega, GA, in 1869 (18) with
brothers William and Andrew J, sons William Wiley and John H, and relative
John. During the Civil War, at age 41 years six months (Jan 1864) He
served as a sub-caroling officer and was exempted from Military service
for serving in that capacity. (19)
With the Death of his father John Abercrombie in Dec 1863/jan 1864,
Clemeth inherited Approximately $1384, all of which became worthless upon
the defeat of the Confederacy plus nominal amounts, in 1865, and later
years as his fair share of the large estate (21)
Clemeth's mother, the former Fannie Cavender, the daughter of Cementh
Cavender (1774-1836) (5,22) Also of Hall County GA (11) had at least one
sister Nancy (1823-1912), (5) who married John Barnes (1824-1864) Clemeth
apparently was named after his maternal grandfather Cemeth Cavender, as no
previous Clemeths can be found in earlier Abercrombie family history.
Between March 5 1869 and Oct 24 1872, Clemeth and Emeline with children
William Wiley and family, Joseph martin and wife, Permelia Arveline, Nancy
E Jones P. I, Young B., Amanda and Mary Susie; (26) and friends Simons,
Pratt's, Gads, and other (27) left Georgia traveled westward, and settled
in the new state of Kansas. The Abercrombies homesteaded several parcels
of land approximately 14 miles south of Williy Springs (now Beloit) and
nine miles northwest of Barnard, in Mitchell County KS. In later years
they were joined by sons John H (8,14,25,260 and Andrew J (26) and their
respective families. One of the original homesteads, now beside state
highway 14, was in later years owned by Mr. Frank Wright, and Mr. Joe
Weber. (27) The community of Saltville was established in the same general
area near fifth Creek, with the Abercrombie gentleman owning several of
the stores, active in local government, and becoming progressive farmers
on the rolling plains abundant with buffalo and infested with marauding
bands of savage Indians.
(2, 29)
Clementh's wife, Emaline Jones, was born Nov 17 1824 (2) in GA. (26).
They were married in Hall County GA on March 4 1841. (6,29) She later was
a member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Lumpkin County, GA (29). She
died at Saltville, Mitchell County KS, on Aug 25 1899, in her 74th
year of life.
Clementh, with ruddy complexion, gray hair, and beard, was well liked
by his neighbors and friends of Saltville and was know to all as
"Uncle Clem". He was an industrious man who amassed considerable
property during the 35 plus years of Kansas pioneer farming. (6)
On Nov 17 1907, Clemeth died at the age of 85, and was laid to rest in
the Saltville Presbyterian Cemetery beside his wife Emaline. (2) Eleven
