Son of William B. Clem and Martha Harden/Hardin.

Wife of Rhoda Sheid born May 26, 1852. They married in Izard County, Arkansas.

Matt first appears in the 1860 US Census living in Giles County, Tennessee with his parental family. He is recorded as being 9 years of age.

The US Census of 1870 shows his name as "Matson" and that he and his wife/children are living as farmers in Arkansas. His parents are living just down the road from him. The census shows the following information:
Matson Clem M 19y
Roda Clem F 18y
Robert Lee Clem M 1m
Unknown Richardson Jr M 35y

It is unknown who this Richardson is that is living with the family but it shows he has property valued at $4500.00. I believe the inclusion of him in Matt's family is an error.

The 1880 US Census shows that Rhoda is now a widow, helping to establish that Matt was deceased by that time. She is now 28 years old and living at Mill Creek, Izard County, Arkansas, with her children:
Rhodia Clem F 28
Robert L. Clem M 9
Mary E. Clem F 7
William T. Clem M 4
