The following marriages were found in Granville Co NC:
Samuel Clement to Judah Knight, 13 Dec 1788
Annie Clement to William Yarbrought, 6 Jun 1808
Palatiah Clement to Ebenezer Murrow, 2 Oct 1815
There were three marriages for a William Clement, but the one that seemed most likely for the son of Clement was to Mary Brasfield, May of 1809 - this one has also been linked to his uncle William, half-brother of Samuel.
Isabella Clement to Williamson Parish, 19 Oct 1827

The estate file of Samuel was ordered from the NC Archives. Six of the children, Susan, Sally, Simeon, Judith, Isabella, and Elizabeth, were all under the age of 21 as stated in February of 1816. John Clement served as their Guardian [probably the older brother of Samuel] for several years. The property was sold and the money divided among the nine children - however, the son William bought the tract. The slaves were divided in ten lots, adding slaves to the widow. Using the information in the file here is a possible family group:

Samuel & Judith married December of 1788
William, likely the eldest, born say 1790
Anne who married William Yarbrough maybe born 1792/93
Palatia who married Ebenezer Morrow born say about 1795
Susanna born 1797 based on when she apparently reached legal age
Sarah born ca 1798
Simon born ca 1800
Judith born ca 1802
Isabell & Elizabeth [Betsy in some records] were born after 1803. In Feb of 1823 William Yarbrough was appointed their Guardian in place of John Clement.
