"As you have probably deduced , there were three Clement brothers, Joseph ,
1776 - 1823, Abraham, 1779 - 1826, and William Clement ( my three times great
grandfather, 1780 - 1865 ) They were three of the six, possibly seven, children
born to Abraham Clement 1740 - 1825 , and Elizabeth Jenn 1733 - 1810 , who were
married at Newton St Petrock, 11 April 1770 .
Joseph
married Mary Ann Squance ;
Abraham
married Jane , possible maiden name being Tucker,
William
Clement married Jane Squance , 1784 - 1822 sister of Mary Ann .
When
Joseph Clement and Jane ( Squance ) died , Mary Ann ( Squance ) Clement then
married her widowed brother in law William Clement. I refer to this as the `
double Squance Clement marriage ` .
In 1832 William Clement , Mary Ann Squance Clement ( not sure if they were then
married or married in Canada ) left Devonshire , bound for Ontario , Canada. In
their party were William Clement , 1780 - 1865, Mary Ann Clement , 1807 - 1896,
Charles Clement , 1812 - 1884 , William Clement , 1814 - 1894 , James Clement ,
1816 - 1906, Thomas Clement , 1818 - 1888, Ann Clement , 1821 - 1891 . Their
daughter Frances Clement Withycombe 1808 - 1890 remained in Buckland Brewer .
Mary Ann Squance Clement 1779 - 1826 and children , Mary Clement Lemon, 1807 -
1903, Susannah Clement , 1816 - 1886 , Abraham Clement , 1820 - 1856 . Son
Joseph 1810 - 1883 , and his sister Sarah 1812 - ???,remained in England . Mary
Clement Lemon came to Canada with her husband William and young children.
John Clement 1804 - 1893 , son of Abraham 1779 and Jane Clement , and his
brother William 1822 - ???? , may also have come to Canada, John`s many siblings
stayed in England .
Thus three branches of the Clement family came to Canada , in 1832, covering
three generations, and settled in Beverly Township , Wentworth county , Ontario
where they farmed . "
