Biography

Extracted from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clements-4971

This is the profile for Robert Clements who settled in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1642.

Robert was the son of Richard Clements baptized in Cosby, Leicestershire on December 14, 1595.[2][3] His mother was Agnes, widow Fellows, whom Richard Clements married in Cosby on March 2, 1594/5.[4][5]

Family

Based on an Ansley parish record for the burial on March 12, 1641/2 of "Lydia, wife of Robert Clemence yeoman,"[10] Robert was married a woman named Lydia. Since there is no evidence that he had a prior wife, she is assumed to have been his first wife and, since she died after the estimated birth dates of all his children, she is also assumed to have been the mother of all of his children.[14]. her parentage and maiden name are unknown and no reliable evidence has been offered or found for the common claim in online family trees that her maiden name was Drummer.

Robert and his first wife, Lydia, had the following children. Their identity is established, in part, by references in Robert's 1658 will to his sons Job, Robert, John, Abraham and Daniel and to his sons-in-law Moses Pengrow, Abraham Morrill and John Osgood.[19]

1. Job, b. say 1617[20] probably in Huncote, Leicestershire,[21] m. 1st December 25, 1644 Margaret Drummer in Haverhill, Massachusetts,[22][15] m. 2d before 1658 Lydia ______,[15] m. 3d July 16, 1673 Joanna (Unknown) Leighton at Dover, New Hampshire,[15] d. September 4, 1682 in Dover, New Hampshire[15]
2. Lydia, b. say 1618[23] probably in Huncote, Leicestershire,[21] m. about 1644 Moses Pengry in Massachusetts,[23] d. January 16, 1675/6[23]
3. John, b. probably October 1620[24] in Huncote, Leicestershire,[21] bpt. October 22, 1620 in Narborough, Leicestershire,[7][25] m. June 1 or 4, 1648 Sarah Osgood in Haverhill, Massachusetts,[22][25] d. about 1659[25]
4. Abraham, b. say 1622[26] probably in either Huncote, Leicestershire or Ansley, Warwickshire,[21][26] m. 1st Elizabeth _______,[26] m. 2d after October 1656 Jane (Unknown) Aylett, d. April 5, 1677 Killencraft, County Cavan, Ireland[26]
5. Daniel, b. say 1624[27] probably in Ansley, Warwickshire,[21][27] m. before 1660 Elizabeth _________,[27] d. 1680 in Rathkenny, County Cavan, Ireland[27]
6. Sarah, b. about 1627 probably in Ansley, Warwickshire, m. 1st June 10, 1645 Abraham Morrill in Salisbury, Massachusetts, m. 2d October 8, 1665 Thomas Mudgett in Salisbury, Massachusetts, d. August 1694 in Salisbury, Massachusetts. (See discussion and sources in Sarah's profile.)
7. Robert, b. probably sometime in 1629-1634[28] probably in Ansley, Warwickshire,[21] m. December 8, 1652 Elizabeth Fawne in Haverhill, Massachusetts,[29][30] d. probably in 1714 in Haverhill[30]
8. Mary, b. probably sometime in 1632-1637[31] probably in Ansley, Warwickshire,[21] m. November 15, 1653 John Osgood in Haverhill, Massachusetts,[32][33] d. October 27, 1710 in Andover, Massachusetts[33]
9. Note that the absence of baptismal records for the children born in Ansley is presumably due to the fact that the Ansley parish register does not contain any baptismal records prior to May 1637.[34]

Sometime after the death of his first wife in March 1641/2,[10] and, given the lack of time between her death and his emigration to New England, almost certainly sometime after he emigrated, Robert married a second time, as established by the fact that his 1658 will included a bequest to his wife. His will does not, however, give his wife's name.[55][49] According to Percival Wood Clement's 1927 Ancestors and Descendants of Robert Clements, the Coffin manuscripts held by the Essex Institute contain a record of a deed dated April 15, 1657 by Robert and his wife Judith,[44] but no copy or abstract of the deed appears to be available online. Percival also stated that, after Robert's death, his widow Judith married John Whitney of Watertown.[56] Percival's assertions regarding the name of Robert's second wife and her subsequent marrige to John Whitney of Watertown are supported by (1) the fact that Watertown vital records for 1660 include an entry stating that "John Whetny & Judah Clement Married 29 of September"[57] and (2) the fact that the Essex County Court Records contain a letter dated March 23, 1660/1 by "Judeth Whitney" to "Goodman Curier of Sallbery" complaining that he had not yet delivered the boards that were due to her,[58] coupled with the fact that one of the bequests by Robert to his wife in his will was of "the boards I bought at Salisbury to repaire the house."[55][49]

There is no evidence that Robert had any children by his second wife.

Immigration

Robert emigrated from England to New England in 1642, sometime after May 10, 1642, when he executed the deed selling his property in Witherly, Leicestershire,[11] and November 15, 1642, when he executed the deed formally purchasing the town of Haverhill's land from the Indians.[35][36]

The identity of the ship on which Robert and (presumably) his children Job, John, Lydia, Sarah and Robert emigrated is unknown.

Residency in Haverhill, Massachusetts

Upon immigrating, Robert settled in the new town of Haverhill in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was first settled about 1640,[45] two years before Robert's arrival. Robert was a prominent member of the Haverhill community immediately upon his arrival and was one of only six men to sign the deed formally acquiring the town's land from the indians in November 1642, just a few months after his immigration.[35]

Robert was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in November 1645.[46]

From 1647-1653, Robert was selected as Haverhill's deputy to the Colony's General Court,[13] which was the the Colony's primary legislative and judicial body.[47] Starting in 1647, Robert was also an associate magistrate for Norfolk County, with the authority to decide small cases and take oaths.[13] As a result, his name appears many times in court records as an official who took a deposition and in land records as an offical who recorded acknowledgements of deeds. In 1650, Robert was given the authority to give the oath of fidelity in Haverhill.[48]

Based on his stated occupation of yeoman in deeds prior to immigrating and on the fact that the inventory of his estate consisted primarily of land and livestock,[49][50] Robert's occupation while he lived in Haverhill was presumably principally as a yeoman. Robert had several side businesses as well, however. In 1651, the town of Haverhill granted Robert, his son Job and four other men the right to build a saw mill.[51] The saw mill was apparently never built,[52] but Robert's estate inventory shows that he did own a grist mill.[49][50] In addition, in 1653, Robert was licensed to sell wine in Haverhill[53] and, in 1654, licensed to sell "strong waters" in Hampton.[54]

Robert's high socio-economic status in the Massachusetts Bay Colony is shown by the fact that records starting in 1649 fairly consistently referred to him by the honorific title of "Mr."[13]

Will; Death; Burial; Estate

Robert made his will on September 6, 1658. In his will, he described himself as "Robertt Clements of Haverhill." He made bequests to his wife, his sons Job, Robertt, John, Abraham & Dannell and sons[-in-law] Moses Pengrow, Abraham Morrill and John Osgood. He named Moses Pengrow, Abraham Morrill and John Osgood as executors. The will was witnessed by Bartell Heath and William White and proved in Hampton court on October 11, 1658.[55][49]

Robert died on September 29, 1658.[49][50][62] Robert's Find-A-Grave page states that he was buried on his farm in Haverhill.[63] However, the page provides no supporting evidence for that assertion and none has been found.

The inventory of the Robert's estate was taken by Tristram Coffyn, Sr and William White and presented to the court on October 10, 1658. The inventory was appraised at 494li 14s 2d, including his dwelling house (55li), livestock (133li) and the grist mill (30li).[49][50]

Since it appears that Robert Clements lived in Huncote in Narborough parish from the time of his marriage until at least 1620 (when son John was baptized in Narborough) but was "of Ansley" by 1624, it is probably that Robert and Lydia's children born before 1602 were born in Huncote, those born in or after 1624 were born in Ansley, and those born in 1621-1623 born in either Huncote or Anlsey.

28. Robert stated in a deposition in June 1664 that he was aged about 30 years, which would mean that he was born about 1634. See Essex Quarterly Courts 3:167. However, that would mean (1) that there was a 7 year gap between his birth and the birth of his next older sibling, (2) that he was only 18 when he was born and (3) that he was one year younger than his wife Elizabeth Fawne, who was baptized in April 1633. It is therefore quite possible, if not likely, that he was born at least 3 years earlier.
