http://meserve.org/stories.htm states he is son of Clement Messervy and Elizabeth _____ and quotes "GENEALOGICAL AND FAMILY HISTORY OF THE STATE OF MAINE" (VOLUME III, pages 1236-1238, Lewis Historical Pub. Co. New York 1909)(compiled under the editorial supervision of George Thomas Little, A.M., Litt. D.)":
"This name was originally spelled Messervy, and was changed by members of the American branch of the family to Meserve, the final letter of the word being pronounced for a time: but later generations have pronounced the name in two syllables. The genealogist of the family states that the Meservy family, like several others, is probably of pure Jersey origin, all persons bearing this cognomen being descendants of those who formerly lived in the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. As to the origin of the name, one can only make conjecture. The most plausible appears to be that which 'The Armorial de Jersey' gives, and according to which the name could be nothing but the participle of the old French verb, 'Messervyr,' and signifies the 'ill-treated.' This epithet was given to an ancestor at the time of the cession of Normany to France in 1207. The family of Messervy has given to the Isle of Jersey many civil officials, a large number of who held offices in the law courts. Few families have given so many officers to the army of their country as the Messervy family of the United States. The arms of the Messervy family of Jersey registered in 1665 are: 'Messervy: Or, three cherries gules, stalked, vert. Crest: A Cherry tree proper. Motto: Au valeureux coeur rien impossible' -- to the valiant heart nothing is impossible. Agriculture and the mechanic arts seem to have occupied the time of most of the members of the family, although it has had its share of professional men, lawyers, clergymen and doctors, while the name figures but slightly in court records either as defendants or criminals, showing honesty, integrity and uprightness in the race.
"(I) Clement Messervy, whom tradition makes to have come from the Isle of Jersey to America, was a taxpayer in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1673, took the oath of allegiance in 1685, and had a seat in the meeting house in 1693. Later he lived in Newington, New Hampshire. On August 6, 1710, he conveyed the homestead in Newington to his son Clement. Both he and his wife died previous to 1720. He was very probably son of John Messervy, of Gorey, Grouville, and of Mary Malcolm, his wife, and his supposed ancestry is traced some generations in Jersey. His wife's name was Elizabeth. No list of the children of Clement, the immigrant, has been found and we only know positively that Clement (2) and John were his sons because so called by him in deeds, in I705 and I710; but as the same documents: speak of "other sons, and daughters," and as tradition has always made three branches of the family, in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, the assumption seems warranted that he had: Aaron, Clement, Daniel, John, Elizabeth, Mary and Jamison.
"(II) Clement (2), son of Clement (I) and Elizabeth Messervy, was born probably in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, about I678 and was in William Redford's company of militia in 1696. On July 15, I726, he and Daniel Moody, of Stratham, New Hampshire, purchased of William Cotton, of Portsmouth, one hundred acres of land at Black Point, Scarborough, Maine, and in 1729 they bought one hundred and fifty acres more adjoining. He evidently removed to Scarborough soon after the purchase of Cotton, and was admitted to the first church of Scarborough, August 11, 1728. He married, September 24, 1702, Elizabeth Jones. The marriage was solemnized by Rev. John Pike, in Portsmouth. They both led the covenant, and were baptized in the church at Newington, March 10, 1723, when Mrs. Meserve joined the church, and was admitted to full communion. She died and he married (second) August 14, 1738, Mrs. Sarah Stone, who survived him. He died (probably) in 1746, in Scarborough. His will dated, February 18, 1740, describes him as 'Joiner, aged of body.' His will was proved November 5, 1746. The inventory returned by Elliott Vaughan, Daniel Fogg and Samuel Sewall, appraisers, amounted to £896 15s. 7d. His children, all born probably in Portsmouth or Newington were Clement, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, John, Abigail, George, Peter, Daniel and Joseph.
"McLillan's 'History of Gorham' says: 'Of the dwellers in the fort on Fort Hill during the seven years' Indian war commencing in 1745, was one Clement Meserve, or as the name was often called "Harvey." On consulting the best authorities written or read we have come to the conclusion that the Meserves of Scarboro and Gorham came from Dover or Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where the name appears to have been quite common. There was, a Lieutenant-Colonel Nathaniel Meserve, of the New Hampshire troops, who distinguished himself in the Louisburg expedition in 1745; he is said to have been of the same family that came to Maine, and a brother to the Gorham Clement. Southgate, in his history of Scarboro, says Clement Meserve was in that town in I725; that he was a joiner by trade.'
"(III) John, third son of Clement (2) and Elizabeth (Jones) Meserve, was born March 21, 1700. He married Jemima Hubbard, by whom he had: John, George, William, Clement, Joseph, Thomas, Dorothy, Abigail, Mary (died young), Mary."
