Robert Clements (Richard of Cosby, Robert of Croft, Richard of Croft), baptised at Cosby, Leicestershire, England, 14 Dec. 1595 died at Haverhill, Mass., 29 Sept. 1658. He married first Lydia ------, who was buried at Ansley, Warwickshire, 12 Mar. 1642, and secondly, before 1657, Judith -----, who married after his death, John Whitney * of Watertown, Mass., and died in 1669.
Robert Clements probably grew to manhood in the parish at Cosby, receiving an education which developed a mind unusual for the times. Although the records showed little of him in youth, it can not be doubted that the great formative influences of the period profoundly affected him.
In 1617 his father, Richard Clements, died and on 20 Oct. in that year Robert Clements, then aged twenty three years, was granted administration on his estate. (Act Book Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1615-1618, Fol:133.).
Unfortunately the papers relating to Ricahrd Clements estate are lost, only the record of the commission to the administrator being preserved. In this same year, 1617, Robert Clements paid £60 for land in Huncote, where he lived for a number of years. Huncote is in the parish of Narborough, Leicestershire, and near Croft, Leire, Sutton, and Broughton Astley. At all of these places he had relatives living.
* = FROM ABOVE - John Whitney aged 35, with wife Elinor aged 30, embarked at London in 1635, in the Elizabeth & Ann, Roger Cooper, master. Freeman of Watertown, 1635-6. Elinor Whitney died 11 May 1659.
In 1619, his mother Agnes died, and the administration of her estate was granted at Leicester, on 7 Aug 1619, to William Fellowes of Enderby, (Act Book, co. Leicester, 1604-1634) William Fellowes was evidently her eldest son by a former marriage. In the record of the commossion she called "Agnes Clements of Huncote." She was undoubtedly living with her son, Robert Clements, at the time of her decease.
MORE TO COME BUT SKIPPED.
Much research has failed to disclose anything in regard to the parentage of Lydia, the first wife of Robert Clements, and the mother of all his children. That her memory was cherished is evidenced by the fact that each of the children named a daughter for her. Robert Clements buried her at Ansley on 12 Mar. 1642. One of her descendants has lately had a bronze tablet to her memory set in the wall of the Ansley Church. It bears the following inscription:
"In memory of
Lydia Clements
Buried in this churchyard March 12, 1642
The wife of Robert Clements who emigrated to
New England 1642
And became one of the founders of
Haverhill, Massachusetts."
