| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOHN2 CLEMENT (Robert1), of Haverhill, "farmer," m. June 1, 1648[Hv], SARAH2 OSGOOD (John1). He was in Hv. as early as 1641 or 2, selectman in 1648, oath free. 1649, rep. in 1654; was cast away and drowned on a voyage to England, July 21, 1659. Inv. est. Sep. 27, 1659. Children: Sarah, Lydia, Mary, Hannah. Chosen Lieut Oct., 1650; commissioner to end small causes for Hv. Apr., 1652. The date given for his death, "July 21," must be incorrect. His bro. was ap. adm. July 21, confirmed Sept. 27, 1659, and May 10, 1660 [ref 36:96,893] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LIEUTENANT JOHN2 CLEMENTS (Robert1), baptised at Narborough, Leicester, England, 22 Oct. 1620, died about 1659. He married at Andover, Mass., 1 (or 4) June 1648, Sarah Osgood, daughter of John and Sarah Osgood of Andover, born in England about 1630, died about 1659, being drowned with her husband and three of their children in a shipwreck. John Clements joined with his father and elder brother Job in the sale of the lands at Witherly on 15 May 1642, and with them sailed shortly after for New England. After his marriage in 1644, he evidently became a land holder, for his name appears with his father's and brother's in a list of thirty-two land owners in 1645. In 1647 he was made Constable of the town; in 1649, he was clerk of the Writts (Town clerk) and a selectman. In 1650, he was placed on a committee to "meet the men of Salisbury and lay out bounds between that town and Haverhill." In this year he was chosen lieutenant of the military company and with Stephen Kent planted an orchard. These were probably the first two orchards planted in Haverhill since the old records speak of them. In 1652, he was a commissioner to end small causes. He succeeded his father as Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts, for the town of Haverhill, in 1654. Two years later it is of record that "The court do therefore order the constable of Haverhill, to levy by way of rates, on the inhabitants of Haverhill 12 pounds: 19 shillings, for the satisfying of Mr. John Clement for the charges expended in Haverhill in entertaining a Council of Churches." This was the Council of Churches for whose entertainment the General Court had directed his father, Robert Clements, Sr., to make arrangements. Mr. Jno Ward of Haverhill, for �1. 2s. 6d. conveys to Jno Clements of Haverhill, 2 acres of land in the plain, 29 Mar. 1653. Wit: Jno Eaton Joseph Peasley. Also signed by Alice Ward. This is supposed to be the land on which stood for generations the "oldest House in Haverhill." Isaac Cosins of Haverhill, for �8., conveys to John Clement of Haverhill eight acres of East side of little river bounded by Daniel Hendrick, etc., Signed also by Elizabeth Cozins (by mark). Wit: ffrances Wainewrite, James Davis, and by John Eaton and Joseph Peasley, commissioners, 30-3-1653. Sometime after 1656, John Clements returned to England. It does not seem probable that he went with the intention of staying there, as he left his wife and four little daughters in New England, but he later made up his mind to remain and joined his brothers, Abraham and Daniel, in Ireland. Consequently he wrote to his youngest brother, Robert, and desired him to come over to England as an escort to the family he had left behind, and offered as an inducement that if he would come and stop that his brethren would do well by him. Robert Clements, Jr., was about twenty-four and had himself a wife and three children; he concluded to accept John's offer and with both families set sail for England in the Spring of 1658. On the voyage over, the ship was captured by the Spaniards and they were all taken captive into Spain. With the exception of one of John's daughters, all escaped and finally reached London, going from there to Ireland. Children born Haverhill: Sarah, Lydia, Mary, Hannah. Sometime, before July 1659, John Clements with his wife and daughters, excepting the one left "in Spaine," were drowned in a shipwreck.
