He was an apprentice of Thomas Wells in Newbury, in 1675, lived there 1683 and '4; rem. to Hampton; was of Salisbury, 1692. D Hm. states that he was living in New Bristol, Pa., in 1703. Adm. est.

He married in Newbury, Mass., Hannah Gove, born in Hampton, N. H., Mar. 1664, died probably before 1716, daughter of Honorable Edward and Hannah (Partridge) Gove. Abraham2 Clement was a carpenter and millwright. He was apprenticed to Thomas Wells of Newbury in 1675 and apparently continued to live in that town until about 1684 when he removed to Hampton, N. H., was living here in 1686. [ref 88:69] In 1692, Abraham3 Clements is called of Salisbury, but certain deeds seem to show that his property was partly in Hampton, and partly in Salisbury, and in those days of loose boundaries, it was not quite certain to which town he belonged, but he considered himself a resident of Salisbury, until about 1698, when he called himself of Hampton. In April 1703, he was living in New Bristol, Pa. He seems to have been unfortunate in business matters and little by little to have parted with his property. [ref 88:70] Besides the land that his father gave him in 1692, he obtained land in Salisbury that same year from John Ayer and his wife Hannah, where he had removed before 1687. Children 1684-1700: Edward, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Nathaniel, Sarah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Lydia, Hannah. [ref 88:71] Philip Grele of Salisbury, planter, and his wife Sarah, convey, to Abraham Clements of the same place, house carpenter, land in Salisbury laid out to the original right of John Illsley, father of the said Sarah Grele, 19 Sept. 1687 (Essex co deeds 9:122). [ref 88:71] Jonathan Clements, sometime of the town of Haverhill, conveys land there to brothers Abraham Clements and Fawne Clements, 15 Aug. 1693. (Essex co deeds10:46.). [ref 88:71] Abraham Clements of Hampton, N. H., sells to Stephen Dow, Jr., of Haverhill a meadow in Haverhill, 4 May 1691. Wit: Ann Chase, Christian Williams. Mrs. Ann Sinkler of Stratham, N. H., swore she witnessed this deed, 19 Apr. 1717 and Christian Williams swore to the same, 13 May 1717 (Essex co deeds 31:214). [ref 88:71] Abraham Clements of Salisbury for �30, one half of which is received of "Sargt Robert Ayer and ye other halfe of Elizabeth Clement widow and Relict of John Clement," both of Haverhill, sells to them land in Haverhill which he purchased of his father, Robert Clements of Haverhill, 17 Feb. 1692-3. Wit: Faun Clement, Samuel Dalton, Abigail Dalton. (In this deed the residence of Abraham was written Hampton and then changed to Salisbury) (Essex co deeds 10:85). [ref 88:71] John Pengry of Ipswich, yeoman, and Abraham Clements of Salisbury, carpenter, were bonded together to pay �86 to Mr. John Wainwright. Evidently John Pengry went on the bond to satisfy Abraham Clements, for the latter mortgaged to Pengry his land and premises in Salisbury, 10 July 1696 (Essex co deeds 11:143). [ref 88:71] Abraham Clements of Salisbury, Mass., carpenter, sold to Robert Ayer and his daughter Elizabeth Clements, several years ago, certain land in Haverhill and they cannot find the deed, so he makes a new deed to them, 22 Sept. 1698 (Essex co deeds 14:49). [ref 88:71] Abraham Clements of Hampton, N. H., carpenter, conveys, to Jonathan Emerson of Haverhill, land in Haverhill, that he had of his father, Robert Clements, etc.; "Anna," wife of Abraham Clements, releases her dower, 5 Feb. 1699-1700 (Essex co deeds 14:125). [ref 88:71] 12 June 1700. The Petition of Abraham Clements of Hampton, concerning his having a trial at the Court of Common Pleas the 7th of June, 1699, at the suit of Nathaniel Ayers, at which Court, judgment was obtained against the said Clements, upon which he appealed to the Superior Court following, but the Governor being changed, the said Superior Court was altered, and at the next Superior Court that was held, the Judges was of opinion that the cause could not be tried before them, for which he craves a new trial next Superior Court." This Petition was read and sent to the House of Representatives. [ref 88:72] 19 July 1701. The petition of Nathaniel Ayers r� case vs. Abraham Clements, an order that said Petition be granted and that the secretary issue forth a supersedeas, to stop the executing execution against said Nathaniel Ayers in said case (Journal of the Council and Assembly of NH). [ref 88:72] Abraham Clements, "formerly of the town of Salisbury and now residing in New Bristoll in Pensilvania," millwright, and Hannah his wife, mortgage to Samuel Carpenter of Philadelphia, since Samuel Carpenter has been bound with Abraham Clements to pay to Edward Shippen of Philadelphia, merchant, land and dwelling-house in Salisbury, Essex Co., Mass., to belong to Samuel Carpenter if Abraham Clements does not pay the note but not to be sold by him until three years after the death of Abraham Clements, and Clements makes Joseph Peasly his attorney to deliver the property to Samuel Carpenter, 5 Apr. 1703. Wit: Da. Loyd, Richard Heath (Essex co deeds 39:204). [ref 88:72] A similar deed is recorded in the Province Deeds and in it the land is described "land and buildings in Salisbury lately reputed to be within ye province of New Hampshr formerly residence of said Clements" (Province NH deeds 14:429). [ref 88:72] "I, John Maule of Phyladelphia in the Province of Pensilvania Mercht attorney to Mr Samuel Carpenter of Phyladelphia aforesaid & being ... Impowered ... by ... a Special Letter of Attorney bearing date the 11th Day of April 1709 ... for and In Consideration of ... one Hundred & fifty poundes ... paid by Joshua Purrington of Haverhill in the County of Essex in the province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England husbandman ... have ... sold ... Unto the said Joshua Purrington ... all those severall Lotts of land ... Lately in the Tenure & Possession of Abraham Clements formerly of the Towne of Salisbury More Lately reputed to be within the Province of New Hampshire which Lotts ... of Land are ... Scittuate ... (in) the Township of Salisbury in the County of Essex ... Massachusetts Bay ... tho Some part of them by some Challenged & Deemed to be within the Limitts of Hampton in ... New Hampshire ... with Dwelling house," etc., bounded as may appear by the instrument made by said Abraham Clements and Hannah Clements his wife, on 5 Apr. 1703, to the said Samuel Carpenter, 28 May 1709 (Province NH deeds 25:264). [ref 88:72] "Samuel Carpenter of the City of Philadelphia ... Pensilvania, Merchant, ... doe ... appoint ... John Maule of Philadelphia aforesaid Mercht to be my true and lawful attorney ... to take ... seizen of ... those severall Lotts ... of land Scittuate ... in the towne of Salisbury ... Newhamshire in New England formerly conveyed to me by Abraham Clement late of Salisbury aforsaid Millwright and Hannah his wife ... by one Indenture Dated the fifth Day of Aprill 1703," etc., 11 Apr. 1709 (Province NH deeds 20:203). [ref 88:72] Since it is expressly stated in the mortgage that the mortgaged land could not be sold until three years after the death of Abraham, the question is raised if he did not die between 1703 and 1706, and that the Administration was taken out some time after his death. It sometimes happened that a man died and his family went on using the property until after his widow passed away when administration on the estate would be taken. It is worth noting that Abraham Clements is not called "Abraham ... deceased," in either the deed or the power of Attorney. [ref 88:72] Jeremiah Clemens, son of Abraham Clemens of Salisbury, deceased, with John Gove of Hampton and Thomas Manning of Ipswich on his bond*, appointed Administrator of his father Abraham Clemens, 31 Dec. 1716 (Essex co probate 5573). [ref 88:73] *the bond was for �500, so it is evident that Abraham left some property; of his nine children, the only one of which any trace has been found is the son, Jeremiah Clements - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - possibly ggg-grandparents of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||

I have one little daughter*--my husband is troubled with a cold--he Remembers his duty to ye so no more at present I rest thy dutiful son and daughter Abraham Clements & Hannah Clements (*There is no record of the birth of this little daughter, referred to in the letter, but a record of the marriage in Hampton of Dorothy Clements to James Moulton in 1702, makes it seem probable that this Dorothy was the little daughter born before 1686-7, as there were no other Clements in Hampton at that time.)
