Col. Obadiah Clement was born in that part of Kingston which later became Sandown. His father and two of his older brothers evidently died in the French War, while the third one sold to him his share in their father's property, (p. 172). In spite of his large holdings in Sandown, he went in 1773 to Warren, where he became on of the most prominent of the town. He was a copper by trade and worked at it throughout his life.
After Colonel Clement removed to Warren, he built a large cabin at the meeting of the bridlepaths, taking great pains with it and making it twice the size of any other cabin in town. The logs were hewn smooth and the house was shingled. On the first floor were two large rooms, a cupboard and pantry, with two fireplaces of stone, while the ganet contained four bedrooms. Each room had one or more windows for which the glass was brought from "down country" on horseback. When this pretentious dwelling for the time and place was finished, Colonel Clement moved in and opened an inn. He was also the first miller at the little falls on Blackbrook. Tradition tells that he ws large, stout man, of quick motions.
It does not appear that Obadiah Clement saw active military service in the Revolutionary War, but he was a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Concord, 10 June 1778. In 1783, he was a selectman of Warren; in 1784, he was commissioned a Major of the 13th Regiment, and in 1786 was made a Colonel.
In 1767, Mr. Obadiah Clement mentioned in the Sandown Church records, and three of his children were baptized there, before his removal to Warren.
Obadiah Clement appears in Census of 1790, as of Warren, with four males above the age of sixteen, three below the age of sixteen, and five females, in his family.
Colonel Clement left no will and there was no administration of his estate.
