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.The parents shown here should be disconnected. Robert Charles Anderson relies heavily on this source for the Great Migration Project and recommends it for this immigrant.
