Clement was fined for drunkenness by the General Court of MA in early 1640. Resided at Weymouth, MA before moving to RI. Freeman at Newport, RI 1655. A letter dated Oct. 20, 1683 from Samuel HUBBARD or Newport, to William GIBSON of New London contains the following, which probably concerns this person: "Old Weaver is dead, near an hundred years old."

In 1643 he owned property there an lived next door to his brother-in-law Thomas Holbrook. About 1650 he left Weymouth and went to Rhode Island, where he was a wall builder.

Dec. 11, 1625 his father-in-law, William Holbrook, made his will, naming 'Clement Weaver ye elder, Thomas Tyly, and my sonne Thomas Holbrook' as overseers. Among the bequests was one of a piece of land 'att ye moore geate' to my three grandchildrenl, Clement Weaver the yonger, Edmund Tyly and Thomas Holbrook ye yonger' in event of the death of their uncle, John Holbrook

    The English ancestry of Clement Weaver of Newport, Rhode Island has not been found! [so much for Lucius Weaver's theory that he was son of Thomas Weaver from Wales!] but it is known that he married Rebecca Holbrook 19 May 1617 St. John Chuch, Glastonbury, Somerset. The author reviews the parish registers searched by Robert Bush. Two men: Richard and William where old enough to be his brothers or even possibly his father. There was no Thomas Weaver at all. So we can say with confidence Thomas Weaver and Margaret Adams of Wales were not his parents. Robert Charles Anderson relies heavily on this source for the Great Migration Project and recommends it for this immigrant.
