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 (p:40) The settling of his 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 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 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.)
On the 31:1:1664, John Severance sued him for debt, incurred for entertainment at his house and for entering one action at Salsiburg Court in 1663, part of which was to be paid in money, butter or wheat about Michaelmas last. (Ibid 3:148.)
On the 17th 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.
