      6 Clement Lanier 1737 - 1812
      +Hannah ???? - Bef 1812

      Clement was born in Brunswick County, Virginia as shown in a
      record in the Library, Richmond, Virginia. "A Roll of Captain Bronaugh's
      Company, July 13, 1856, shows "Clemt Lenore", drafted 1755 in Brunswick, VA
      at age 18, size 5-5 1/2, Trade, Planter, Country, Virginia. Description,
      thin faced, of light hair."

      He died in November or December of 1812 in Rowan County, North Carolina
      where he and his family had moved in 1783. He married in Virginia, Hannah
      ??, who died before 1812. Clement's will of January1, 1813, proved in
      November 1820 in Rowan County, NC named sons John, Clement,Jr., Lewis,
      William, Joshua, Seth, Daughter Rebecca Hardester, and son Elijah.

      From this we see Clement Jr who probably the groom in the marriage bond was
      prob born ca 1780 and alive in 1820. I would think the David Miller named on
      the Rowan Co bond to be about the same age.

      There was the Hon, David Miller b 5 Feb 1775 at Boones Fork in Rowan Co. son
      of William Miller and Mary "Polly" Eldridge. It appears David may have been
      the Justice of the Peace in Rowan.
