Clement appears in the early records about the same time George does. Lempriere is
assumed to be an early spelling of Lamphear (various spellings)

Notes from L. Ruth Verrill's Vermont Scrapbook. (she references the Gen.
Dic. of Maine and NH by Libby, Davis and Noyes, page 428")
"Clement Lempriere buried William Button a Jersey man (Jersy Island) in Portsmouth,
1693.
Richard Anthony of Jersey, now in Portsmouth, gave power of attorney to Clement
Lampier, now of Boston, 8 January, 1697-8.
John Lamprill was on the boat when Mr. Button was drowned." "George Lamphear
was born in Wales(?) about 1678, so Clement must have been kin, if not a brother.
One of George's daughters married Peter Button. George settled in Westerly, Rhode
Island." Other notes listed: "George, b: 1678 or so. and Clement in Boston in
1693."
