Notes

Born in Jamestown, Tennessee, Pamela Clemens was the second child of John and Jane Clemens. Pamela and Samuel were close siblings, maintaining a correspondence throughout their lives. Pamela was a kind, good-hearted child, but was somewhat sickly. She was an accomplished musician, even giving guitar and piano lessons during her teenage years. In 1851, she married William Moffett, a successful business man from Kentucky. After settling in St. Louis, Pamela had two children, Annie and Samuel. It was with the Moffetts in St. Louis that Sam stayed after leaving Hannibal in 1853. With William's death in 1865, Jane Clemens moved in with her daughter. The two widows settled in Fredonia, N.Y., in 1870 to be nearer Samuel and his family. It is considered that Pamela was the inspiration for Mary Sawyer in "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer".
