Individual Details

It's also been suggested in other databases that Lucy was Lucy Clement or Lucy Clement Walker. A suggested birth year and date is about 1731 in Pittsylvania Co VA. There were Clement families living in Pittsylvania Co VA, but certainly not at the time of Lucy's birth. The county had not been formed at that time and it is very doubtful she could have been born there at this early date; few families had drifted this far south as early as 1731.

Mervin Walters information states that the information that Thomas Walters married Lucy Clement had come to him from a folder of loose papers of the "Blalock Collection", apparently found in a Library in Milton, Caswell Co NC. There is no library in Milton and the library in Danville has a Blalock Bible, but told me a collection was at the library in Yanceyville [Gunn Memorial Library?]. I wrote the Gunn Memorial Library but they found no information in the Blalock Collection about Walters or Clement.

One note here: One Benjamin Clemments [sic] patented 400 acres in Amelia Co on branches of the Bent Run which adjoined lines of Willm. Echols and others, dated 16 Jun 1738. Abraham & Joseph Echols also had patents on Bent Run. There is this tradition that Thomas Walters' wife Lucy was a Clement and they did have a son named Clement Walters. Since descendants of the Echols ended up also in Pittsylvania Co with the Walters this may be something worth investigation. There are some indications that the Echols and the Walters both were in Prince George Co and Prince George was the parent county of Brunswick and then Amelia.

There were Clement families living in Halifax Co:
Halifax Co Virginia Colonial Poll & Tithables Lists; Mary Bondurant Warren, 1991, Heritage Papers, Danielsville, GA
28 Nov 1764   Edward Booker's List: Geo. Thomas - Wm. Thomas - Isaac Clem't
Poll for John Donilson, 17 Jul 1765: Henry Hardin [twice], Isaac Clemons, Nicholas Purkins, Geo Thomas, Jos.Echols, Benj. Clements, Wm Thomas
and Robert Walters, believed to be Thomas Walters' brother, is listed in a tax record of 1755 with 285 acres of land

A Daniel CLEMENT was born about 1784 in Pittsylvania Co VA and died about 1843 in Henry Co TN.  He married WILMOUTH Irby 14 May 1807, Pittsylvania Co, daughter of Frances Irby & Jane LaGrand.

Although the above is too late to have any influence at all on the names of Thomas & Lucy Walters' children I thought it was a very interesting juxtaposition of names and places.  I would think we should watch for possibilities for occurrences of the names Clement & Wilmouth, whether given names or surnames among the neighbors of the Walters.
AND
There was also an earlier Wilmouth Irby: 
GEORGE BOYD,SR was born 1739, and died 1781. He married WILMOUTH IRBY 06-Jan-1760 in Halifax Co,VA.

There were other Wilmouths in the Boyd family and even an Archibald.
