These Clements do not relate to mine but I would appreciate hearing from
anyone who has traced their Clements back to England. My Clements are John and
Martha who lived in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England in the early 1800's. I
am descended from their daughter Harriet, who was born in 1833 in Wisbech.
Harriet was baptized at St. Giles. If any of you out there have connections
to this family, I would like to hear from you.

P1/P2: Ann and Thomas Martin vs D1: Phillip Shute
Surnames: Clements, Cottrell, Laundrum, Martin, Nunn, Shute
Publisher: Library of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia
To any two Justices of the County Court of Henrico
Humbly complaining shew unto your worships, your Orator and Oratrixes,
Thomas Martin and Ann his Wife, late Ann Clements, Peter Laundrum and Mary
his Wife, late Mary Clements, Young J. Clements, Elkanah Clements, and
Catharine Clements, which said Mary Laundrum, Young J. Clements, Elkanah
Clements, and Catharine Clements, together with Elizabeth Cottrell, the Wife
of Thomas Cottrel (the two last named of whom, are herein after made Defts
to this Bill of Complaint) are the Sons and Daughters, and Distributees of
William M. Clements, who died Intestate. That upon the death of the said
William M. Clements, he left a widow named Mary Clements and also Sundry
Slaves, and other Estate and which was Distributed agreeably to the Act of
Assembly respecting Intestates Estates: and to the said Mary Clements the
relict of the said Deceased was allotes amongst other things, one Negro Girl
about Twelve or fifteen years old, of the Value of Three Hundred & Fifty
Dollars, named Siller, in part of her Dower right, in the Estate of the
deceased; and that the revestionary right in and to the said Slave upon the
death of the said Relict will pass and descend to your Orators and
Oratrixes, together with the aforesaid Thomas Cottrell and Elizabeth his
Wife, and who are prayed to be made Defts to this Bill of Complaint; that
after the allotment aforesaid, the said Relict Sold and transfered her right
of Dower in the said Slave Siller to one James Nunn, and who is likewise
prayed to be made a Deft to this Bill of Complaint. That after this
purchase, the said James Nunn loaned the said Negro Girl Siller, to the
other Defts Thomas Cottrell and Elizabeth his Wife as a Nurse, and for the
especial accommodation of the said Elizabeth, and her children, but subject
at anytime, to be recalled, at the Will and pleasure of him the said James
Nunn.
Your Orator and Oratrix further complaining shew, unto you Worships, that
the said Thomas Cottrell and Elizabeth his Wife being so possessed of the
Slave aforesaid, by Courtecy of the other Deft. James Nunn, have either sold
and delivered, or with other fraudulent views and intention, placed the said
Slave Siller, into the hands and possession of one Phillip Shute, an
inhabitant of West Tennessee, (where she now is, in the County of Henrico)
and within the Jurisdiction of the County Court of Henrico. Your Orators
and Oratrixes are informed, and nively believe, that the said Phillip Shute
intends quickly to remove himself out of the State, and also to remove the
said Slave Siller beyond the limits and Jurisdiction of the courts of the
commonwealth of Virga. whereby the rights of your Orators and Oratrixes,
in revestion, to the said Slave may be defeated, and great and manifest
injustice insue. all of which actings and doings of the said Thomas
Cottrell, and Phillip Shute are contrary to Equity and good conscience and
for as much as your Orators and Oratrixes are without remedy at common
Law, and are alone relieveable to the intervention of a court Equity, whose
whose peculiar province it is, in case of this sort to award a writ of Ne
epeat republica, restraining the Deft. Phillip Shute from departing this
commonwealth & the Jurisdiction of this court, until further order shall be
had herein. To the end therefore, that the said Thomas Cottrell and
Elizabeth his Wife, Phillip Shute, and James Nunn may be made Defendts.
hereto, and that they and each of them, may severally, true, perfect and
Distinct Answer make, to each and every of the allegations herein
contained, as fully, plainly, and distinctly, as if the same were herein
again repeated, and set forth by Interrogation : but more especially Shall
the said Phillip Shute may set forth and discover, from whom and by what
means he became possessed of the said Slave Siller, and also to what
place he intends to remove the said Slave? May it please your Worships,
to grant unto your Orators And Oratrixes the commonwealths most
gracious Writ of Ne epeat republica against the body of the said Shute
and that they may have all such other, or further relief in the premises as
the nature of this Case may require, and which may be agreeable to the
principles, and Rules of a court of Equity, and they as in duty bound will
ever pray Vc. Saml W. Craw for Complts.
Henrico County to wit: This day Peter Laundrum, one of the complts named in
the preceding Bill of Complaint, personally appeared before me a Magistrate
for the county aforesaid and made Oath, to the truth of the Allegations
there in contained, according to Law. Given under my hand this 17th day of
August 1821. William Price
