Clement Buxton was born between 1610-1615 in England.
Clement married Unica aka Unity about 1634 in England. They were the parents of:

Elizabeth/abt 1636 (Mrs Robert Husted)
Clement III/abt 1646 m. Judith Prence
Eunice/abt 1648 (Mrs Jonathan Waterbury)
Sarah/abt 1655 (Mrs Joseph Stevens); 2 (Mrs Jabez Smith)

There is some confusion about Clement Buxton's wife. No maiden name has been documented. After Clement died in 1657, Unica aka Unity married Peter Brown the next year. Peter Brown died but a short month after they were married and Unica married for a third time, in 1659 Nicholas Knapp.
