    Robert Clement came from England in the early part of 1642, landing at Salisbury, from whence he came to Haverhill sometime in the following summer with his wife and four children ─ John, Lydia, Robert and Sarah. His son Job had come over in 1640-1, doubtless to "spye out the land." His youngest daughter, Mary, remained in England (in the city of Coventry, in Warwickshire) until about 1652. … The Clements for a long time occupied a prominent position in town and county, and their descendants have ever been considered as among our best citizens. … Robert, senior, was the first Deputy of the town to the General Court. … He was a man of rare integrity, and superior talent, as may be totally judged from the responsible stations he was repeatedly called to fill.
