Your find is really a good one! I wonder what other journals and such are
lying around, unpublished, with possible family information. The Winthrop
Medical Journal extract bears careful study for other lines. Thanks.
What do you make of the reference on page 932, Jun 29 1669: 'Clarke, Sarah
17 y. daught. of William of 30 Iland? now she lives w/ Caleb Stanly' Was
Sarah working as a domestic? Is the 'Stanly' name associated with the
Clarks? I know that sometime later some Stanleys were at Haddam. In
addition, it's interesting to see the Haddam area referred to as '30 Iland'.
Keep up the discoveries!

Subject: William's wife
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 21:44:32 -0500
I think that most of us have tentatively accepted Katherine BUNCE
as the wife of William Clark based on the line in Thomas BUNCE's
will: "I doe give to my sister Katharen Clark £10. " William's will
simply refers to his 'wife' without giving her name. While browsing
on line today, I came across a partial transcription of the Medical
Journal of John Winthrop, Jr. at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pamw/Winthrop.htm
This transcription was made by Pam from microfilm of the original
journal [which is held by the Massachusetts Historical Society].
Unfortunately, it appears from Pam's introduction that the microfilm
is only available at either the Massachusetts Historical Society or
at the Yale University Library.
On page 446, dated 23 May 1664 [place name illegible], among
Winthrop's list of patients examined, is found "Clark, William his
wife Katherine of Hartford" Perhaps some of you are familiar with
this data, but it is the first time I have definitely seen a given name
for William's wife in a document contemporary with their era, so I'm
a little excited.
In that John Winthorp Jr. provided medical care to individuals
throughout the Connecticut valley and as far north as Hadley, even
these few excerpts from his journal are valuable for placing
ancestors in certain towns at given times. In some cases, he
mentions relationships, ages, and the medical conditions for which
he was consulted. It is my understanding from the Winthorp
Papers Home Site at http://www.millersv.edu/~winthrop/index.html
that the Massachusetts Historical Society is working on publishing
the medical journal.

Jane: Kudos to you for "surfing" onto this site. This is indeed the
first time I have ever seen Wm. Clark's wife Katherine being mentioned
(except in Thomas Bunce's will )
This information would otherwise be unavailable to most of us were it
not for the wonders of the internet and good people posting information
and those who find it!!
I have noted a few other noteworthy listings but have not as yet checked
them out.

This is my day for striking gold on the web. I found the following at:
http://users.twave.net/sifu/trescott/book.htm
Trescott Genealogy - by Paul Trescott, 1969; web page by Anita Trescott,
dau. of Stanley & Eleanor Trescott.
WAGON TRAIN DAYS
Samuel5 Trescott (Samuel4, Ebenezer3, Samuel2, William1) married Mary
Clark, of Sheffield, MA on September 22, 1783 at Sheffield and most of
their children went west. Mary had been born December 12, 1760, at
Sheffield, not far from Canaan, where Samuel was born March 13, 1749.
Mary Clark's ancestry supplied by Prentiss Glazier, Sarasota, FL, shows
she was the daughter of Reuben and Mary (Shedey) Clark. Reuben lived in
Haddam, MA and his wife was the daughter of Timothy Shedey, of Middletown.
Reuben was the son of Peletiah Clark and his first wife, Anne, daughter of
Nathan Sutliff. Peletiah Clark was the son of William and Mary (Day)
Clark. The latter's grandfather was Robert Day, and William Clark's
parents were Joseph and Ruth (Spencer) Clark. Ruth was the daughter of
Gerard Spencer, and Joseph Clark the son of William and Katherine (Bunce)
Clark of Braintree, England. Their children: Ira, Russell, Samuel Clark,
Jonathan, Elmer, Charles, Sally, Mehitable, and Mary.
Place and date of birth of the last five have not been found. Samuel5 died
February 20, 1833, and Mary December 16, 1833, both at New Marlboro.
Ohio was rather new country when the first Trescotts arrived. Cleveland
and Youngstown had just been settled and they located near the latter
place. Indians still lived in the western part of what finally became the
state and the British were still in the northwest corner and held Detroit.
Tecumseh, chief of the Shawnees, a tribe that had moved from northeastern
PA, was attempting a confederation of all Indian tribes and joined the
British during the war of 1812. This conflict shoved the frontier farther
west but engaged personal attention of few Trescotts.
Since emigrants ordinarily traveled in groups of as many as 30 or
40 families, it seems possible that Ira, Samuel Clark, Russell,
Elmer and Charles went together prior to 1810 when Samuel Clark
is known to have been in Salem, OH.
