CLEMENT'S PARENTS: Clement, Sr. was born before 1672 (possibly 1661) in Wenham, Essex County, Massachusetts (Anderson, 223), and died 21 April 1729 in Exeter (Metcalf, PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 2 [op. cit.], 362). Sarah was born 14 December 1668 in Wenham, and died in Exeter about 1711, sometime following the birth of their seventh child, David, who was born about 1710 (Marlene A. Hickley [comp.], DESCENDANTS OF JOHN CLARKE OF WENHAM, MASSACHUSETTS AND EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE [Bath, ME: The author, 1968], 2, 3). Clement and Sarah were married before 1693 in Exeter (Anderson, 223). They were also the parents of Josiah Moody, who married Elizabeth's sister, Sarah (see their article below, 9). Following Sarah's death, Clement re-married, taking for his second wife a lady named Alice, who outlived him.

John served in the Revolutionary War, and was a proprietor (an original owner of town land) of Gilmanton, Belknap, NH (THOMAS MUDGETT OF SALISBURY [op. cit.],53).

Nicholas was a farmer. Susannah was his second wife, since he had been married first to Judith Gilman (Noyes, GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE [op. cit.], 615). We learn the names of their children from Nicholas' will.
His sister, Patience, married Joseph Eastman, a son of Susannah's uncle and aunt, Samuel and Elizabeth (Scribner) Eastman.

After Nicholas died, Susannah married a man named Thurston about 1763. We learn this from the fact that, in the account of Nicholas' will, when the estate was settled and allowed on 26 October 1763, Susannah is referred to as "Susanna Thurston, formerly widow of the deceased, executrix" (Hammond, PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 4 [op. cit.], 503).
