Jeffrey Clement married Elizabeth Fuller in London, 1590.  They had five children.  Third son, Jeremiah, was born 1607. Jeffrey died in 1609 and his widow and four small children came to America on the good ship "George", landing at Jamestown, Virginia, June 10,1611. She married again in 1621, Colonel Ralph Hamor.  (Taken from the very interesting magazine, Genealogy, edited by Wm. Montgomery Clements.Re:1, p.306. Re:2, p. 293 and Re: 13)

It is thought that Jeffrey Clement was a merchant with interest in theVirginia Trading Company.  His widow may have come to America because of this interest.

"The first of the name in America is said to have been Elizabeth Clement (nee Fuller) the widow of one Jeffrey of London, England, who came withher three small children to America in 1611 and settled at Jamestown, Virginia. The children were Jeremiah, Nicholas, and Elizabeth.  Jeremiah wasprobably the father, by his wife, Edy, of John, Ezekiel, Amy and Francis.This Francis was the father, by his wife, Elizabeth Meriweather, of Francis, Benjamin, Thomas, Mary and Elizabeth"; (Re: 8)

 Widow of Jeffrey Clement of London, married Jeffrey in London,1590, bore him five children (name of first two not given), among them being Jeremiah, born 1607, Nicholas and Elizabeth.  Widowed in 1609,andleft with four children (this indicated that one died), she came toAmerica on the ship "George", landing at Jamestown in 1611.  She married again,1621, Colonel Ralph Hamor.

Elizabeth Clement came to Jamestown in 1611, bringing with her four small children and two servants.  A woman of gentile birth and breeding,the niece of Nicholas Fuller and Lady Elizabeth Layghton.  (Taken from magazine Genealogy edited by Em. Montgomery Clements.  Re:1, 2 & 5, p. 41, 7 p.378 and Re: 13).

 Jeremiah Clement, born in 1607 in London, England to Jeffrey and Elizabeth, came to America with his widowed mother, landing at Jamestown, 1611.  He is ancestor of Samuel L. Clements, know to the world asMark Twain.  He married Edy _____ in James City in 1634.  Hisson, Francis, was born in Surry County; was the father of Francis Clementwho married Elizabeth Merriweather,  (Magazine, Genealogy)

Jeremiah was probably father of John, Ezekiel, Amy, as well as Francis. (Re; 8)

The records in James City county have been destroyed, but in the Land Office in Richmond, in Patent Book 3 p, 274, dated 1636, Jeremiah Clement is granted 500 acres eastward of land formerly in his possession, on thenorth side of James River for the transportation of nine persons, one of whom is given as Edy, wife of Jeremiah Clement.

In Land Patent Book, Vol. 2, p. 306, we find granted unto Jeremiah Clement, son and heir of Mrs. Elizabeth Clement, deceased, 350 acres on the eastside of Upper Chippook Creek, August 26, 1633.  Upper Chippook Creek line lies in what became Surry County in 1652.

Jeremiah Clement represented James City County in the House of Burgesses in 1641.  He probably died before Surry was made a county..

In Surry Deed, March 17, 1657, Captain Henry Perry, who had married the "heretrix" of Jeremiah Clement of Upper Chippook Creek, conveys 350acres to Edward Oliver..

In 1667 John Clement (no 6 on the chart) owned 350 acres in Surry County.  (This could have been the same 350 acres granted Jeremiah, his father.)

 Son of Jeremiah Clement (Re: 3) states that he was the fourth son.  Some authorities claim that Francis was an original immigrant. (Re: 1)   married Elizabeth Merriweather.  He died 1721.She bore him five children, Francis, Jr., Benjamin, Thomas, Mary and Elizabeth.  (Re: 8)

In his will is mention of a son Benjamin.  This Benjamin was one of the founders of Lynchburg, Virginia.  He married Susannah Hill in 1731 (1727).  His will, filed in the records of Campbell County, Virginia, mentions Adam, born 1739.  This Adam was a farmer in Bedford County where he married Agnes Johnson, January 27, 1765.  (See pages16,Vol. II, Genealogy.)

In Book 7, p. 703, Land Patent Records, Richmond, Virginia, there is granted to Francis Clement, year 1689, 450 acres of land, due for the transportation of nine persons into the colony, and the list is headed with his own name, showing him to be an immigrant (Re: 2, p. 293).   He represented Surry County in the House of Burgesses in 1692 (General House of Burgesses).  He served as clerk of the General Assembly, 1699 (Journal of H. B.).  He was clerk of Surry County from October 1697 to July 1708. (Surry Records) and his signature reads "Fra Clement".  Francis Clement  married first, Elizabeth Merriweather, a sister of William and Major Nicholas Merriweather (Surry Records, Deed Book 4, p. 46); second, Lydia (?) (probably Blighton), for  at Surry Court, held August 11, 1711, Francis Clement and his wife, Lydia, administer the estate of George Blighton.

Prior to 1715, Francis Clement, senior, moved over into Isle of Wight County, for in that year he deeds, for love and affection, 516 acres toson, Francis Clement, Junior, and states: "I, Fra Clement, of Isle of Wight, do appoint loving friend, Nicholas Moggett of Surry, to be my true and lawful attorney to acknowledge the deed, etc."

The deed of Francis Clement, Sr., is recorded in Isle of Wight, 1719, in Vol. 2, p. 632 of wills and deeds.  He bequeaths to son, Francis Clement " My plantation, commonly called the Springs, where the said Francis now dwells, containing 616 acres.  My silver tankard (obliterated).

which colonized Jamestown, Virginia. He married Lady Elizabeth Fuller, daughter of Sir Cuthbert, whose brother Nicholas
Fuller, Esq., in his will, 1620, in England says: Elizabeth Clements, daughter of my brother, Cuthbert Fuller, her late husband,
Jeffrey Clement, and her son, Nicholas Clement ... stock in the Company of Virginia ...son, Sir Nicholas Fuller, 1620.  (From

Elizabeth (Fuller) Clements, with her sons, Jeremiah, Nicholas, and Ezechaiil, and daughter Elizabeth and two white servants,
Jefferis Hull and Dorothy Greene, came to James Citie in 1611 in the ship "George," to take up her shares in the London
Virginia Company.  They lived through the Indian Massacre of 1622 at James Citie, and she married second, 1623/24,  Capt.
Ralph Homer, Secretary of the Colony.  After her death, Gov. Harvey granted to her eldest son: Jeremiah Clements, 350 acres
at Upper Cheppoakes Creek, Surry County, Virginia, 16 August 1633 (Virginia Land Patents Book No. 1, p.118).  He was a

                                   Clement * Clements * Clemens

Complete records of this family have never been completed due to the destruction of the court records of Eastern Virginia
Counties. TheVirginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 32, published in 1924 states that the founder of the family
came to Virginia in 1611.  She was Mrs.Elizabeth Clemens a woman of "gentle birth", a niece of Sir Nicholas Fuller and Lady
Elizabeth Layghton.  She brought with her, three sons and a daughter.  In Land Patent Book, Vol. II, page 306, in Surry
County, Jeremiah Clements, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Clements, deceased, is mentioned. In various old Virginia records Jeremiah,
Bartholamew, and Francis, Sr., are mentioned but these genealogical records are vague. No positive direct lineage is provable
until we see William Clements of King William County (Land Patent Book 17, page 164, Richmond) being granted 1227 acres
in Amelia County on the Appomattox River and Bent Run in the year 1736.  This William Clement served as one of the
presiding judges of the Court of Amelia from1741-1755, when he was appointed sheriff (Amelia County Records).  He died in
1760 and his will, probated in February of that year, named sons Benjamin, John, William, Francis, and daughters, Elizabeth,
Ann, and Barsheba.

Benjamin1 Clement, to whom an accurate tracing can be made, was the son of William Clement of King William County.
William's father is unknown, also his wife.

William Clement of King William County patented 1225 acres in Amelia County on the Appomattox River in 1736 (5) and
moved to that county. His will lists children: Benjamin, William, John, Francis, Elizabeth Ford Ellyson, Ann Major and
Barsheba Major.

In 1741, Benjamin Clement, son of William, of Amelia County patented land on Staunton River, Pittyslvania County.  About
1725 he married Susanna Hill of King and Queen County.  In 1748 he moved his family to Pittsylvania County, then
Lunenburg, and built his home, "Clement Hill". 2
    1. & 2: History of Pittsylvania County, Maude Carter Clement, p. 145.

Benjamin Clement and William Lawton were Captains of Companies of Rangers for Halifax for defense against the Indians in
the French and Indian Wars, 1755.1

"Sometime ago, my having made powder was mentioned in your paper, but as I wish for no more merit (should there be any in
it) than I deserve, I inform the public that Mr. Benjamin Clement is a partner with me in making powder, and that he was the
first in the colony that I know of who attempted to make it, altho' he did not bring it to perfection.   Since our partnership, we
have brought it to such perfection with salt-petre of our own making that the best riflemen approve of it; and with the little mill
that we have we can make fifty pound weight a day.  Salt-petre, only, is wanting, which may very easily be made by observing
the following directions; and when it is considered how much we want powder and that salt-petre is the principal ingredient, it is
hopeful that those who have the good of their country at heart will exert themselves in making it. Without it we can have no
powder, consequently, no means of defense; but with it we shall soon have both.  I am, Sir, your very humble servant,
                                                                                                        Charles Lynch
                                                                                                                 August 5, 1775"2
 The directions for making the salt-petre were to dig up the dirt floor of old meat houses - boil the dirt and strain through straw.

Benjamin Clement was now 75 years old.  He died in 1780 and is buried at the foot of "Clement Hill".  His estate was valued at
£27,664.4.8.  Charles Clement, son of Adam and Agnes, inherited "Clement Hill".  It passed to the Hurts through the marriage
of John L. Hurt to Nannie Clement, granddaughter of Charles, Sr., and daughter of Charles, Jr. and wife Lucy Hunt.3
    1, 2, & 3:  From Maude Clement's History of Pittsylvania County, pp. 67, 144 & 145.

Benjamin Clement's (great-great- grandfather of MarkTwain) will names his wife Susanna and children:  (Will Book 2, p.115).
Sons, Adam & Isaac named Executors (Account Book I, p.86).
      1. Stephen
      2. Isaac - married Anne Denham of Wales.  She was born 18 July 1772 and died 23 December 1856 (Records Clement
Bible).  He commanded a company of Pittsylvania Militia in the Revolutionary War.(Virginia Magazine of History, Vol. 20, p.
205).  Prior to that, he was a member of the County Committee on Safety.  On pages 167 and 168 of Maude Carter
Clement's Historyof Pittsylvania County, she relates that the May 4, 1780, Act of the General Assembly ordered 2500
infantry men to go to the aid of South Carolina.  Ninety-seven men under Capt. Isaac Clement and Lt. Benjamin Duncan went
from Pittsylvania County.  At Hillsboro, N.C., they joined the 3rd Virginia Regiment under Maj. Henry Conway in Gen.
Edward Stevens' Brigade.  They marched South at night until they came to Gen. Gates' forces in front of Cornwallis at
Rudgely's Mill.  Mrs. Clement states that Gen. " Light Horse" Harry Lee blamed Gates for their defeat at Camden because the
troops were untrained for battle.  As they retreated northward, Capt. Isaac Clement's Company of Pittsylvania Militia and
otherVirginia troops camped for the night at the edge of a frog-infested swamp.  The exhausted men slept soundly until they
were awakened by a terrifyingly deafening noise.  Capt.Isaac later told it many times, with great delight, that his brother Adam,
Captain of the Bedford Militia, also camped there, upon being awakened and thinking the frog noise came from Col. Tarleton's
troops, leaped to his feet, drew his sword and cried, "Gentlemen, I surrender."  The children of Capt. Isaac and Ann Denham
Clement were: Hugh, Isaac, Jr.and Stephen.  Capt. Issac and his sons, Hugh and Isaac, Jr. moved to Pendleton District, S.C.
where he died 23 December 1856. (Clement FamilyBible)
         3. Adam, one of the founders of Lynchburg, and great grandfather of Mark Twain, married Agnes Johnson of
             Louisa County, Virginia.  Agnes' ancestry can be traced back to Scotland through the Johnson and the Clark
             families.  Adam was Sheriff of Campbell County 1784, 1792, and 1805 and also commanded a company
             of Bedford Militia as related in the comments concerning his brother Isaac.  He was also the great grandfather
             of Mark Twain.  The children of Adam and Agnes Johnson Clement are listed in the Douglas Summers
             Brown's Lynchburg's Pioneer Quakers.  They are:
                 1.
                 2..Adam, Jr. - War of 1812 (CC Chronicle p. 379).

                 4. Samuel - married Pamela Goggin and had (a) John Marshall Clemens married Jane Lampton; moved to
                     Florida and then to  Missouri.  At Mt. Olive Cemetery is Flat Stone on which is lettered, "Passed on,  John M.
                     Clemens, born in Campbell County, Virginia, August 11, 1798; died in Hannibal, Missouri,  March 14, 1847".
