About Samuel Clement
Samuel Clement was a pioneering steamboat man of the United States, plantation owner, and Mississippi state senator. He wrote to an acquaintance back east that his political service was no proof of his notability: "That is a weak evidence of greatness, many noodles get into the Legislature." In 1827 he wrote a pamphlet entitled Truth Is No Slander, opposing the presidential candidacy of Andrew Jackson. Clement died in the cholera epidemic of 1833. His granddaughter, one of the first American dollar princesses, married the Duke of Manchester.
