Notes for William & Mary (Family)
Mary’s father, Francis Clements, was first married to Elizabeth Meriwether, sister of Jane (Meriwether) Browne and therefore aunt to William. So while Francis was therefore uncle to William, there is no blood relationship between Mary and William. Some researchers show Mary as a daughter of Elizabeth, but this is not supported by the Clements evidence.
