Notes
It is suspected that the following Gasper Clemmons is GC Clemons Grand father and Polley Caldwell Clemmons his Grand mother.

Polley Clemons, who in 1778 was bequeathed one dollar by robert douglass (Will book, no. 1, p. 263), might possibly be a relative of Twain’s. Gasper Clemmons (variously spelled), who in 1800 married Polley Caldwell (Marriage Register, no. 1, pp. 27-29), was of German extraction, and was not a relative (Lyman Chalkley, Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, III, 164). These are the first names of the Clemens variety in the records of Campbell County.
