Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Thanks for trying to bring in the testers. My brother M.L. Clements has
tested and we recently upgraded him to 57 Markers (the results are not in for
that). His kit No. is 10838. Out of the 80 men who have tested we have only
two matches and they, like ourselves, can not get past 1813 and Georgia. In
my case we think that an Andrew Clements, b. abt. 1783 in S.C. (we think) is
either his uncle or his father.
Do you realize that nearly every Clements/Clemons family claims kin to Mark
Twain, ha!
Glad you have documented proof of your lineage as well as the DNA. Virginia

I am confident that I descend from Robert CLEMENTS 1595-1658 and his wife
Lydia of early Haverhill MA.
I submitted a sample DNA to Family Tree DNA for a twenty-five marker reading.
It turns out I have no close relation to any of the seventy-nine others in the
CLEMENT, CLEMENTS, CLEMMONS, CLEMONS, CLEMENS lines who have
submitted their DNA.
As it should be, since none of the others claim descent from Robert CLEMENTS
of Haverhill.
To access the project go to:
http://www.familytreedna.com/
Enter CLEMENTS in the search box and click on "search."
On the next page, click on:
"Clements/Clemmons 80 The Clements Surname DNA Project"
On the next page, click on the link after "Website:"
Note they say "we will pay for the test for a proven male descendant of these
lines; another Clement line from early Haverhill MA; a proven cousin of Samuel
Clemens (Mark Twain)"
As an aside, I am confident that Samuel CLEMENS also descends from Robert
CLEMENTS of Haverhill.
The administrator of the site offered to pay for my test, but only the twelve marker
test. So I decided to foot the bill since I wanted a more definitive twenty-five
marker test.
Scroll down the page and you will see my test results. I am kit number 68529.
In summary, we need more male descendants of Robert CLEMENTS to submit
their DNA so we will have a good base to compare notes.
Any takers?
