Sergeant Clement Weaver married circa 1645, Mary Freeborn, daughter of William and Mary Freeborn of Witham, Essex, whc came over in 1634; her age is given on the ship's log as seven years, hence born circa 1627. March 6, 1664, Mary Weaver exchanged 20 acres of land with her brother Gideon Freeborn, which her father William Freeborn had given her to the use of herself and children; the consent of her husband and children to the transfer is given; signed by Mary Weaver, Clement Weaver, Sr., Clement Weaver, Jr., William Weaver and John Weaver (her son Thomas was probably under age as he did not sign).

When Mary, she and her parents, William Freeborn and Mary, came to Boston aboard the “Francis.” They sailed from Ipswich, England, having lived at Witham, co. Essex, England, where William Freeborn owned the manor of Batisford, with mansion house "of great antiquity." He sold the Essex property 20 December 1633 and, on 30 April 1634, at the age of 40, settled at Roxbury, Massachusetts, with his wife Mary, and children: Mary and Sarah, age 2.
