Our first known Clemmons ancestor, Samuel Thompson Clemmons, was born in Virginia. Names of parents are unknown. He grew up in North Carolina, possibly in Granville and Butte Counties. When he was 21, his name appeared on the Butte Co. tax list. Also on this list was the name of William Clemmons, who may have been Thompson's brother.Probably about the time he was 21, he married Martha Coggin. Date and place not known. In 1774, Thompson was living in Anson Co. North Carolina. In those days, the men were expected to work the county roads. Thompson and William Clemmons were assigned to work on the road from the mouth of the Uwharrie River to Clarke Creek. In 1779, the residents of Anson Co. who lived in the northern section felt that the county was too large and needed to be divided. Among the many men who signed a petition to the governor were the names of Thompson Clemmons, William Clemmons, and John Coggin (Thompson's father in law). The county was divided, and the northern part became Montgomery County. During this period of time, The Revolutionary War was going on in this country. Thompson enlisted in Montgomery Co. for service in 1779. He served in the militia as a "Minute Man". After serving for 6 months he was discharged. In early 1780, he was drafted in Montgomery Co. and served an additional 3 months. In 1783, the state of North Carolina granted to Thompson Clemmons 2 parcels of land of 50 acres each in Montgomery Co.. In 1782. Thompsons name appeared on the tax list of Montgomery Co. showing that he had 100 acres of land. Thompson and his family were living in Montgomery Co. at the time that the federal censuses of 1790 and 1800 were taken. Thompson, his wife Martha, and the children moved to Wilson Co., Tennessee about 1805. In July 1808 Thompson bought from Samuel Shannon 70 acres of land, described as being on the north side of Stone's River on a small sinking fork of Pond Lick Creek. This appears to be the first parcel of land that Thompson bought.
