He left large tracts of land to his family, including parcels in Dorcester and Ponkapoag, near the Native American Praying town. Clapp wrote an autobiography detailing his settlement in America. Clapp's descendant Lemuel Clapp constructed the Captain Lemuel Clap House on the location of Roger Clapp's original 1633 homestead in Dorchester, possibly incorporating parts of the original homestead into the building.
