>>Subj: Clark mentioned in New York Book?

Someone was kind enough to send me couple of scanned
pages from a book about
the RI Clarks. (One line eventually goes into
Lackawanna County, PA) They're
under "New York"(I think it's the chapter) , pages
1525, 1526, and I have no
idea what book it is. Does anyone recognize this
book?
First Portion:
"(The Clarke Line.)
There's no name more numerously represented in
the pioneer settlement of
New England than this. They were numerous in almost
every New England town,
and many families bearing this name rendered
distinctions somewhat confusing
and uncertain. The name is undoubtedly derived from
an occupation, and arose
from the variations in pronunciation in early times.
There may have been
several who took the surname simultaneously, which
arose from the occupation of
clerk or scribe. In ancient days any one who could
write was called a clerk or
clark, the latter pronunciation still prevails largely
in England. It was also
the custom in olden days to add a final "e" to nearly
every word where
possible, and this habit was brought to America by the
original immigrants. In this
fashion the spelling of this name here used began and
has been maintained by
a considerable number of the name in this country,
although a great majority
have dropped the final letter.
(I) Jeremiah Clarke, the first of the family to come
to the American shore,
was a native of England, and there married Francis
(Latham) Dongan, daughter
of Lewis Latham and widow of Thomas Dongas. Mr.
Clarke was at Portsmouth,
Rhode Island, where his name appears January 2, 1638,
as attending a general
meeting...."

The cemetery is Clark's Green Cemetery. That is the Official name of it.
Its Off of South Abington Road. Not far from there is the stone monument
dedicated to "Deacon" William Clark at the intersection of South Abington
Road and Glenburn Road. Turn onto Maple St and it goes right into Cemetery
road. It's only about three blocks in. . Or you can come up Route 407 to
Cemetery Road. There is only one way in or out of the Cemetery.
Some of William Clark's children as well as himself and Mary, his wife are
buried there.

I was wondering if someone could help me. Jeremiah
Clark, wife Sophia Hall,
and several daughters and a son are buried in either a
Clarks Green or Clark
Summit cemetery. However, I don't know which one. I
see by my CD atlas there
are several cemeteries in the general area and on line
cemetery listing
doesn't give details about which cemetery they're in.
I was wondering if a local
person might know.
Thanks.

I have a possible ancestor - Thomas CLARK, listed in
History of Lodge No. 45, F. & A. M., 1785-1910 -
Pittsburgh. In a list of members some are followed by
the letter A and some by the letter D - I can't
find the meaning of these two letters. There are no
other letters used in the list . Here is an example:
1830- Feb 27 James C. Downer
March 31 Charles W. Goff
May 26 William Moore
July 23 Thomas Clark D.
August 23 John Birmingham A.
