He married in Haverhill, 1 Apr. 1728, Hannah Ford, born in Haverhill, 19 Feb. 1704-5, died after 1750, daughter of James and Lydia (Ross) Ford. Timothy Clements became a cooper and owner of a shop in Haverhill. Shortly after his marriage, he removed to Rumford, N. H., then the Plantation of Pennacook, where he was town clerk in 1732-3. In August 1733, he bought land in Rumford, originally laid out to Joshua Bayley, and in the deed calls himself "of ye Plantattion of Pennycook, Essex County." This plantation was originally a part of Essex County, Mass. Timothy Clements was a scout and Indian Fighter. His name appears on a muster roll of a Scout at Pennacook and vicinity, under Capt. John Chandler in the winter of 1745; and on 10 Apr. 1748, he was entered on a Muster Roll of Capt. John Goffe's company, employed in guarding the Souhegan (Bedford) Monson and Stark garrisons. It is not known where Timothy Clements died and no Will or administration of his estate has been found. Children, born partly, in Haverhill, Mass., and partly, near Rumford, N. H., but entered on the Haverhill, records. Those born near Rumford, entered as "born on ye line of Towns number 5 joyning upon Rumford." Before 1748, he returned to Haverhill, Mass., where he remained for over ten years. At this time he entered all of his children's births on the records there, giving the place where each was born as well as the dates. In 1758, having received a grant of land in Robies Town (Weare, N. H.), he removed there with a part of his family. He left Weare after 1766. Where he went is not known. Possibly he removed later to Maine with his son James. Children 1728-50: Anna, Lydia, James, Elinor, Miriam, William, Timothy, John, Samuel, Simeon.
