We have a number of new members, but the list has been very
quiet. The following is what I have on William CLARK of Haddam.
Please realize that there is still some question if the William
CLARK in Hartford was the one who became an original proprietor
in Haddam. My personal belief is that he was the same man, but
it's only by putting all our data together that we'll make progress
on him and on his descendants and on the other families into
which his children and descendants married. This list is for the
discussion of anyone and anything that touches on this CLARK
family. Please post any additional information to the list along with
the sources. It would be nice to see everyone's family line - that
too may help some of us to put the facts together and work back a
few more generations. Thanks.
