Biography

Ann (Unknown) Clement was a Virginia colonist.

Not much is really known about Ann _ _ _ _. She was was born about 1685 in Virginia probably either in Hanover or King William County, VA, maybe even perhaps New Kent. She may been a "Parker", according to Clements Researchers at FTDNA YDNA results, and researchers at "Genealogy Research Notes and Musings by Patricia Griffith" (see notes and sources). Ann married William Clements, Sr. Son of John & Elizabeth (Terry?) Clements of Hanover Co., Virginia about 1706. She was mentioned with the name "Ann" in a couple of Land Deeds along with her husband. And she was sill alive at the time of her Husband, Williams' Will Dated: 18 Feb 1760, Amelia County, Virginia. Ann was mentioned this way "Item I lend to my Loving Wife Ann Clement During her Natural Life all my whole Estate" Also In her Husband's will, these are children who are mentioned.

• 1. Benjamin Clement
• 2. John Clement
• 3. William Clement
• 4. Francis Clement
• 5. Elizabeth Clement Ford Ellyson (1st Husband: Hezekiah Ford, 2nd Husband: Gerald Ellyson
• 6. Barshaba Clement Major (Husband: Samuel Major)
• 7. Ann Clement Pigg (Husband: John Ghent Pigg)
• (Note: It would seem that there is NO daughter by the name Rebecca, who might have married a Paul Pigg in William Clement's Sr., Will, dated 18 Feb 1760, Amelia County, Virginia)

Notes - Why the last name "Parker"

Genealogy Research Notes and Musings by Patricia Griffith . . .the Clements, Terrys, and Parkers. . . 3 female ancestors of Wm III with no proven surname, and we have geographical proximity with known familial involvement between Clements, Terrys, and Parkers, it became obvious that 2 of the 4 unidentified females in the family were probably Parkers and Terrys. And Parkers and Terrys were probably also intermarried. 1748 John Clement's will is witnessed by a Francis Terry. 1760 Wm Clement of Amelia's will is witnessed by Benajah Parker who lives in Halifax Co. 1790 Benajah Parker has moved to Richmond Co NC 6 doors away from John Clement probable son of Capt.
