Clement Lanier     Born: Abt. 1590, ENGLAND Died:  (Or was Buried) 06 Nov 1661 in East Greenwich, England     Clement Lanier was born about 1590 in England and was the son of Nicholas Laniere (the Elder) and Lucretia Bassano.   Clement was "Gentleman of the King's Chamber" to James I and Charles I - a title often given to musicians of the day.  Clement played the recorder (a type of flute) and other wind instruments.     Clement married Hannah Rebecca Collett on 17 Apr 1628 at St. Martin Ludgate, London, England. Hannah was born about 1605 in East Greenwich, Kent, ENGLAND. She was the daughter of John and Anne Collett. Hannah's mother, Anne Collett, later married John Carter.   Marriage Registration for Clement Lanier and Hannah Collett       When Charles I was executed, the Laniers suffered financial setbacks and hardships because they supported Charles II (the Prince of Wales) and his struggles to regain the throne.  After the dethroning, and decapitation, of King Charles I, many of Nicholas the Younger's paintings were dispersed. Clement and his brother, Jerome, were able to purchase some of these back for the family. However, the family lost most of their wealth during the civil war while Oliver Cromwell was in power as Lord Protector. When  Charles II came to the throne, the Lanier family regained much of their stature and fortune.     Clement and Hannah had eleven children.   Children of Clement Lanier and Hannah RebeccaCollet Name Date of Birth Date of Death Spouse *Hannah Lanier Baptized 13 Feb 1629/30 Devonshire, ENGLAND   Thomas Swetnam m. 1655 John Lanier Bapt.
