Obadiah Clements had no children recorded by his first wife, Priscilla, but the pension record of a Reuben Clements of Sandown, who was born in 1750, proves him to have been a grandson of Obadiah Clements. Since Obadiah's first child by his second wife, Sarah, was born in 1734 and presumably died unmarried, and since his first daughter was born in 1740, the conclusion is forced upon one that there was a child by Priscilla Heath, and that Reuben Clements, the Revolutionary soldier, was a son of this child. The matter is further complicated by the fact that Obadiah also had a son Reuben, born in the same year as his grandson, Reuben. This son Reuben however, lived in Warren, with his brother Jonathan and was said to have been mentally unbalanced at times. Not only is there no record of birth of this child of Priscilla, but there is no record of marriage or death of any man or women by the name of Clements, who might have been the parent of Reuben, Obadiah's grandson.
Obadiah Clements removed to Kingston, N.H., between 21 May 1743 adn 6 Sept. 1749. He evidently settled in that part of Kingston which became Sandown, for after his death, the Sandown Church records state that, 30 Nov. 1759, widow Sarah Clement was proposed for membership, and admitted to the church, 13 Jan. 1760. He may have been "of Kingston," after 1743, but he had his children recorded in Haverhill until 1749, also entering their on the Kingston records. From 1 May to 2 Nov. 1759 he was a member of Caapt. Elisha' Winslow's Company in the French War.
[395] Died before 30 NOV 1759, probably in French war. Sarah was his 2nd wife.

[165] There is a note in the book that reads her death as: 17 (27?) Jan., 1729. I think that there is a mix up because there is another Martha Winchell born to this same family before.
