He married in Haverhill, 13 Dec. 1750, Anna Gage, born in Bradford, Mass., 11 Mar. 1732-3, died, probably in Haverhill, before 1790, daughter of Ebenezer and Priscilla (Kimball) Gage. In early life Samuel Clements was a cooper, but later he became interested in shipping. In 1758, he was the master of the Isaac Chase of Haverhill; in 1761 of the Henry Maxfield; and in 1762 of the Henry Maxwell. These boats were used in the French War, probably for transporting troops or supplies. The year before, on the 18 Apr. 1757, he was a member of the First Company of Haverhill serving under Lieut. Benjamin Gale, Lieut. Col. John Osgood. From 1750 to 1754, there were three adult Samuel Clements in Haverhill; this Samuel5, his father, Samuel4, and his cousin, Samuel5, son of Nathaniel4 who was four years older than this Samuel. Hence, he was called "Samuel Clements, 3rd," since his father was "Samuel, Sr." and his cousin, "Samuel, Jr." [ref 88:164] It is evident from the records that this Samuel Clements had more than ordinary business abilities. He married some months before he was twenty-one. He joined in 1751 his older brothers, Timothy and Moses, and his nephew James, son of Timothy, in petitioning the Province of New Hampshire for lands at Sutton, N. H. In 1754, he inherited from his father, one-half the parental homestead. He also was an original grantee of "Township No. 6," in Hancock County, Maine. Children, born in Haverhill, Mass. 1751-70: Ruth, Anna, Ruth, Samuel, Ebenezer.
