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.

London, England, who came with her three small children to America in 1611 and settled at Jamestown, Virginia. The children were Jeremiah, Nicholas, and Elizabeth. Jeremiah was probably 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)

Jeremiah Clement

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 as Mark Twain. He married Edy _____ in James City in 1634. Hisson, Francis, was born in Surry County; was he father of Francis Clement who 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 EdwardOliverIn 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.)

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.
