Children: John, Daniel, Abraham, Hannah, Fawne, Nathaniel, Robert, Lydia, Mary, Mary, Jonathan. [ref 36:97] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ROBERT2 CLEMENTS (Robert1), born in England, about 1634 (he deposed in 1664 "aged about thirty years"), died, probably in Haverhill, Mass., in 1714. He married in Haverhill, 8 Dec. 1652, Elizabeth Fawne, probably born in New England, died in Haverhill, 27 May 1715, daughter of John and Elizabeth Fawne. Robert Clements, Jr., came with his father to Haverhill in 1642. In a list of people settled in Haverhill by 1646, he is mentioned as Robert Clements, Jr. He was the first cooper of Haverhill. He married very young, as had his father before him, and in 1658 had three children. In 1658, he went to England and Ireland at the desire of his brother John, who wished him to come over with his family to act as a guide to John's wife and daughters. The documents which tell of the voyage, the capture by the Spaniards, the going to Ireland, the return to New England, appear in the Probate papers of John's estate. The settling of this estate also shows the strong affection and sense of justice of the brothers and sisters, for they all wished John's estate given to Robert to recompense him for his losses caused by compliance with John's request. After his return to New England he continued to live at Haverhill for the rest of his long life. In Nov. 1675, he was chosen Constable of Haverhill. On the 17 Nov. 1663, George Hadley of Rowley acknowledged in Court that he had received, on 10 Mar. 1657, from Robert Clements, Jr., thirty-three bushels of wheat on John Godfrey's account. In 1668-9, Robert was chosen as "lot layer" to finish the former division of upland and meadow. In 1669, he was appointed with John Carlton and Joseph Davis "to finish the bounds of the town and to renew the whole line." In April, 1669, he was chosen with Thomas Whittier and Ensign Brown to join with the surveyor of highways, to consider, order and determine what shall be done for repairing, renewing or making anew the bridges and highways. In 1671, he served as selectman and, 1 Jan. 1674, he was chosen culler of staves. On the 24 Sept. 1677, he deposed in Court that he had in his yard, a steer of Samuel Gild, Jr.'s, which had formerly been in the hand of Nathaniel Ayres, etc., Daniel Clement testified to the same. From the many land transactions of Robert Clements, it is evident that, besides his trade as a cooper which he apparently practiced all his life, and in spite of his other duties, he traded in land to a great extent. As no one was compelled at that day to record land transactions, the story of any man's dealings in real estate is necessarily incomplete, and that Robert himself was negligent about recording deeds is shown by his frequent references to land, which he had purchased, the sale of which to him is not recorded. Robert Clement must have died shortly after he conveyed to his son Fawne, land, houses and shops in Haverhill. In the Peasley and Whitcher deposition they state that Robert "deceased about four years before" June 1716. He probably died in 1714, but since he left no Will, having given his property to his children during his lifetime, and no Administration is of record, the real date of his death is unknown. Children born in Haverhill, Mass.: John, Daniel, Abraham, Jonathan, Hannah, Fawne, Nathaniel, Robert, Lydia, Mary, Mary. [ref 88:47] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In 1662, Robert Swan sued him for making use of one acre and a half of meadow, situated in Haverhill, which the plaintiff bought of Isaac Cozens, and for hindering him from getting it recorded according to the town order. Swan lost the suit (April Court, 1662). It is quite evident that there was bad feeling between him and Swan, for on the 14-2-1663, he sued Swan for a debt of eighteen pounds due for a horse about seven years past last Michaelmas and won the suit (Essex Quarterly Court Files 2:379; 3:57). [ref 88:47] On the 31:1:1664, John Severance sued him for debt, incurred for entertainment at his house and for entering one action at Salisbury Court in 1663, part of which was to be paid in money, butter or wheat about Michaelmas last (Essex Quarterly Court Files 3:148). [ref 88:47] "Robert Clemants aged about thirty years testified that six years and a half ago he was in John Gedferi's debt and desiring to pay it, said Godferie told him he could not receive it yet for George Hadley and he had not agreed. Finally he said they had agreed and that George Hadley had received a pair of oxen of Goodman Peaslay for which he was to pay Godferi, that Hadley was houest and would pay him, etc. Sworn, June 25, 1664, before James Davis." Case of Godfrey vs. Hadley, who sued for the wheat (Essex Quarterly Court Files 3:166, 167). [ref 88:47] Five years later in Sept. 1669, Godfrey in a complaint in Court says that "Robert Clemens out of pitty toward me bailed me." He had been in jail (Essex Quarterly Court Files 4:178). [ref 88:47] In 1675 he again appears in Court. "Daniel Ela, attorney for the Selectmen of Haverhill vs. Robert Clement--For having taken a considerable part of the estate of Hugh Sharrett and now refusing or neglecting to provide for him according to his engagement, whereas the town has been obliged to provide for the preservation of the old man's life." (Court held at Salisbury 13 Apr. 1675). [ref 88:48] It is seen in the deeds that Sherratt had adopted Robert Clement's wife, Elizabeth Fawne, on the death of her parents, and had given to Robert a share of his estate according to a promise made to the Church of Ipswich when he took her, but there is no evidence preserved, that Robert had ever agreed to care for Sherratt. The case was won by Robert Clements (Essex Quarterly Court Files, 6:21). [ref 88:48] Thomas Lilford of Haverhill, and Elizabeth his wife, convey, to Robert Clement of, Haverhill, one and one-half acres of planting land in the lower plain, bounded on Mr. John Ward, Will.

Robert, jr., Mar. 27, 1715 [ref 51] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In 1666, Capt. Luke Fawne, a stationer of London, died leaving a Will, in which he bequeathed to his niece, Elizabeth (Fawne) Clements a legacy: "Luke Fawne, citizen and stationer of London, made his will, 11 Feb. 1665, signed it again, 17 Mar. 1665(-6), proved 29 Mar. 1666. "Imprimis, I give and bequeath unto my kinswoman Mrs. Elizabeth Clement living near Boston in New England, eldest daughter of my brother Mr. John Fawne, the sum of fifty pounds &c. to be paid into her own hands within four years after my decease and to her son Fawne Clement the like sum (at one and twenty). To all the rest of the children which my said kinswoman now hath fifty pounds equally between them to be divided." He also leaves twenty pounds to his "cousin Samuel Symods." In 1681, an attempt was made to secure the legacy, and friends and acquaintances of Robert and his wife, made depositions before a Notary in Essex County:-- "This is to certifye all & every p'son that I who hereto Subscribe having lived in New England upward of fforty years at my ffirst Coming into ye Country I had knowledge of one known & called by ye name of Mr. (???)ffawne who fformerly as I heard lived at Ipswich in New England and after that at Haverhill in New England where I knew him who had there two daughters living with him whereof one of them by name Elizabeth is yet alive & now ye wife of Robert Clement of sd Haverhill which sd Elizabeth was allwayes Accounted & called by ye name of Elizabeth ffawne before her marriage so farr as ever I knew & was all along in sd Mr ffawnes time in this Country owned by him to be his own Naturall Daughter she being ye eldest of ye two & hath lived fful or near fforty yeares in Haverhill where now she is living in ye Same Town with me, where I am minister of ye place. Witness my hand this Nineteenth day of August in ye year of our Lord God 1681 JOHN WARD" (New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 30:108.) "Deposition of Lieut. Daniel Lad Senor that at his first coming to New England he knew John ffawne and his wife and their daughter, later the wife of Robert Clement of Haverhill and further that John ffawne never had but one wife." Ann Ladd, wife of Daniel Ladd Senr deposed that for thirty years she knew John ffawne, his wife and Elizabeth, wife of Robert Clement, who lived with them and was owned by them to be their daughter, Haverhill 27 Aug. 1681." (Essex Institute Historical Collections, 43:59,60) After the death of his mother, and presumably that of his father, Fawne Clements evidently made an attempt to obtain the property. That he was moved to do so was possibly the result of the following documents which are filed in Essex County under the heading "A memorandum belonging to Fawne Clements recorded 15 Sept. 1716." "Mrs. Clements, Daughter of Mr John Fawne & Elizabeth Fawne wch Elizabeth Clements was nese to one Luke Fawne a stationer in Paul's Church Yard at ye sign of ye Parrot who Died a little before ye fire & gave Mrs. Clements �300 & Left it in ye hands of one Mr John Cresett in Charterhouse Yard in London & Mr Edward Clements at ye signe of ye Lamb in AbChurch Lane & Mr Edward Henning marcht in London & Mr Jerrat Marshal in London." "This Intelligence I had of ye Reverend Mr Emerson minister of Pascataqua--wch he had of the Leivt Governor Vaughn of Pascataqua Boston May 7th 1716. JOHN CAMELL" "Ye abovesd John Cammell made oath yt by Vertue of ye above mentioned Relation wch he received from ye Reverend mr John Emmerson, he printed an advertisement of it in ye News Letter, No. 629, May 7, 1716. Boston, Sept. 13th, 1720, SAMUEL LYNDE, Justice Peace." The advertisement is found in the files of the old Norfolk County Court at Salem, Mass., under date of 1720. "ADVERTISEMENT These are to give notice there is a considerable estate in England, befallen unto Mrs. Clements who came to New England. She was daughter unto Mr. John and Mrs. Elizabeth Fawne. The said Mrs. Clements, if alive, or any of her children are hereby desired, either by word or by writing to repair to the Post Office in Boston for further information. A true copy from the original printed in the Boston News Letter, No. 629, May 7, 1716, by B. Greene, in Newbury Street, for John Campbell, Postmaster. Att. ICHABOD TUCKER, Clerk." The result of the new activity in the matter resulted in the following deposition filed in the Notarial Records:-- "Deposition of Joseph Peaseley Yeoman, aged 69 years, and Thomas Whitcher, husbandman, aged 62 years, both of Haverhill, that they are neighbors and well acquainted with Robert Clements of Haverhill, deceased about four years before, Elizabeth Clements, his wife and ffawne Clements their eldest surviving son and that they 'have often heard ye sd Elizabeth Clements Say that they named their Sons Christian Name (ffawne) to Bear up ye Name of his Mothers Relations.' Salem, June 27, 1716." (Essex Institute Historical Collections, 43:59, 60.) The last paper preserved shows why the property was never received. Fawne Clements evidently sent the papers to England, and the following deposition came back, apparently from another legatee of Luke Fawne. "Brabazon Aylmer, Citizen and Stationer, of London, maketh Oath that he, this Deponent was an apprentice to Capt. Luke Fawne, also of London Stationer in the year one thousand six hundred and Sixty and served him about five years, being to the time of his Death. He left some estate in money and stock. He left a widow to whom he willed about eighteen hundred pounds. But left one Capt. Cresett a Solicitor, executor, who sold the stock to one Jonathan Robinson, who put them in a Vault under St. Paul's Church which were all all Consumed by the Dreadfull fire of London, in the year 1666. By which means, the greater part of the estate being consumed, the Legacyes were not fully paid. The said Capt. Cresett died insolvent and this Deponent verily believes there is nothing to be recovered, and saith that he, this Deponent himself, though by Especiall favour, could get but half his Legacy, which being now about fifty years since. Jur. 11d die July 1719. BRABAZON AYLMER." Apparently Robert Clements and his wife, never received the full legacy from Mrs. Clements's uncle. It is evident, however, that they became possessed of much land in Essex County, for there are many deeds both to and from Robert in the record books, and he also gave land to his sons before his death. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
