Notes:

Marriage Intentions published Waterboro, June 12 1803.(Vital Records)

Source for Marriage: Maine Marriages 1771-1907.
Clement Rusel married Nancy Warren 08 Sep 1803 in Shapleigh, York, Maine. Maine-ODM Source Film Number: 12237

LAND RECORDS

Clement witnessed an 1802 deed (York Co. Deed 83:147) and received along with Joseph Russell, both of Waterboro, rights of usage in an Alfred sawmill, 5 Nov 1810 (York Co. Deed 83:148)

Since he witnessed a 12 Jan 1802 grantee deed (York Co. deeds 183:147.) for his father, he would have been at least 21 and most likely born by 1780.

Probably died in Waterboro after 14 Mar 1823 when he signed a conditional deed (York Co. Deed 112:72)

Fred Boyle's Early Families of Shapleigh-Acton, publisher Peter E. Randall, 2000 has the following:

CLEMENT, b. Waterboro, ME 1775-1784, (1810-20 censuses),[ ] son of Joseph and Aphia (Moody) Russell, probably d. Waterboro after 14 Mar 1823 when he signed a conditional deed (York Co. Deed 112:72); m. "of Waterboro" Shapleigh 8 Sept 1803 (Vital Records) NANCY WARREN, b. Shapleigh 1775-1784, (1810-20 censuses), daughter of Aaron and Keziah (Huntress) Warren, probably d. 1821-1823.

He witnessed an 1802 deed (York Co. Deed 83:147) and received along with Joseph Russell, both of Waterboro, rights of usage in an Alfred sawmill, 5 Nov 1810 (York Co. Deed 83:148). Census records indicate that Clement and Nancy had at least five boys and two girls. Their son Warren, born 1821, is described as an orphan at an early age.
