Hanover Court, 1st day of June 1749. Exhibited by Isabel Clement and proved by her oath and oaths of Hughes & Terry.
Certified by William Pollard, clerk of court for Hanover Co on 29 Apr 1801, to be a true transcript for the records.

Various online trees give John an earlier wife, Elizabeth, apparently a traition but also from some baptism records in England for names matching the older sons - William, John, & Stephen. I have left all the children as sons of Isabel until further records are found. There is no documentation that proves when John Clement immigrated, and whether or not these are even the same family. Dates of baptisms are somewhat unlikely, particularly since there are baptisms for children of other given names in that family in England.
