Clement's FTDNA Project's largest group of matching test results is Group 12, the family of John Clements of King William Co Va and Hanover Co VA, c.1655-1749, through his sons William, Stephen, and Simon. Son John seems to be the progenitor of many Clements in Petersburg VA in the 1700s, and is now represented by matching DNA results. #27745 has a mutation on the 3rd marker. He also has a 12/12 match with another descendant of his proven ancestor. #19607 has two mutations on the 10th and 11th markers. These participants are a paper trail match for the rest of the group.
