In my area, the cartographers and clerks have messed up the spelling.
Around 1890 +/- the map for Clark County, Washington had written it as
"Clarke" County. This persisted for a number of years until we happened
to find an earlier map without the final "E". The person in control of
the pen happens to have all the control!

Hi,
I've be reading the discussion about the Clark/Clarke. I sometimes think
the
"e" was a flourish made by some clerk. I've found records for the same

What part of WV were your Clarks? Mine were in the Pendleton/Hardy

area about 1780s. Went to Ross/Jackson County, OH about 1800, then Iowa
1840s.

Dear Arlen,
Thanks for the world cruise! I don't recognize the places you name as ones
where I've found descendants of my ancestors.
I WISH I had someone to participate in the DNA study.
Unfortunately, our Clarke line "daughtered out" with my mother. Deep sigh.
My granddad, Courtland Earl Clarke (b. 1899), died in 1878 before we were all
collecting DNA.
His father, Albert Jerry Clarke (b. 1872) also had three daughters, Rhetta
Laura (b. 1894), Dorothy May (b. 1912), and Wanda Virginia (b. 1918). Rhetta
and Wanda had children, but the boys would not qualify for the DNA study.
There were other children, but they did not survive infancy.
Maybe there are some male descendants in my known family, but I've not found
them yet.
Just in case anyone might recognize them and know about some living
descendants they might refer me to. . . .
Below is a brief outline of the family from my ggg-grandfather
forward!
A. Adam Clarke (b. 1807-12) had five sons (including Cyrus) and one daughter:
Philander C. Clarke/Clark (b. 1831-34) who had two girls and two boys:
Minnie C., b. 1862-63.
Frank G., b. Oct. 1869.
Jessie M, b. 1878-79.
William S., b. May 1881.
I've not found descendants of any of them. (YET!)
Archibald A. Clarke/Clark (b. 1843-44) who had one girl and three
boys:
Clara Anna (b. 1870)
Charles A. (b. 1872-73)
George B. (b. 1879-80)
Elmer S. (b. 1883-84)
I haven't found any of his descentdants yet, either!
Cyrus Higgins Clarke (b. 1845)
Albert Jerry Clarke (b. 1872) had one son and three daughters
(see above!)
Louisa Aldine Clarke (b. 1884) married but had no children of
her own.
Emma (b. 1886) (died in infancy)
Cornelia F. Clarke (b. 1851-52). Did not marry or have children.
John Spencer Clarke (b. 1852) had three daughters:
Cornelia A. (b. 1887-88)
Wealthy O. (b. 1889-90)
Georgie Marie (b. 1897-98)
George P. Clarke (b. 1852-53) who probably did not marry or have
children.
Ever hopeful!
Karen

They started in Ireland, arrived in WV (then VA) in the 1700s, maybe the
1790s. Went to Coshocton Co., OH, in early 1800s. Some lines stayed there. Some
went to Indiana about 1840. Some of those went to other parts of Indiana and
some to Iowa. Some of the other parts of Indiana family went to Kansas and
some of them back to Indiana or Colorado. Some of the Iowa folks went to
Washington state and some of them came back to Iowa.
There seems to have been a good deal of contact among the various groups for
a while since an Iowa ancestor kept a family tree (largely undocumented!)
which has been pretty accurate as we current generations attempt to document them
and uncover new branches and twigs!
Where is your clan? Any of those places mine were in?

I don't know if there has been a discussion of this issue or not. However, I
do know that my family was notably inconsistent about the use of the final
'e.' When the family came in from Ireland in the 1700s, they used the final
'e.' After a few decades, though, most had ceased using it -- except for my
line. The older generations' tombstones have the 'e' on some and not on others.
In fact, spelling of names was apparently not as much of an identity issue
then as it is now. I have heard folks argue that this is because people were
uneducated and could not read or write. In my family, however, everyone, with
very few exceptions, could read and write. But they varied the spellings of
their name anyway. Other folks have argued that a lot of the records we look
at for our families were created by others (e.g., doctors sending birth
certificate data, clerks completing death certificates, census takers completing
census forms). This is certainly a valid point. Often, people's names were being
spelled by other people fulfilling a service for the family member or the
government or the church, etc. On the other hand, finding examples of signatures
of a single person that varied according to perhaps mood at the time is not
unheard of. I have Adam Clarke's signature on a marriage certificate and Adam
Clark's signature on an earlier marriage certificate -- same person, different
mood? location? who know! And, just to keep things interesting, his
signature on probate documents after his father's death could maybe have an 'e' on it
or not!! Handwriting was not clear enough to actually enable us to make an
absolute claim one way or the other!
In addition to people's names being spelled variously by other folks creating
records about them and people's own lack of consistency for spelling their
own names, another phenomena was not uncommon in communities. Sometimes, if
there were two families in the same community who were not related to each other,
one of the families would change the spelling of its family name in order to
make it clear from which family a person hailed! So the family might have
been Clarke in West Virginia and Clark in Ohio because there was already a Clarke
family in Ohio when they arrived.
You might also find another naming pattern interesting as you begin your
search for your family members. The designations of Junior and Senior were not
always used the way they are today. It is possible that two unrelated people
from the same community with the same acquired designations of Senior and
Junior! In order to clarify which person was which, the older person would become
senior and the younger one junior. (That's a kick in the pants for a
genealogist!)
Furthermore, within families designations of junior or senior could be
attached to people who were not father and son (or mother and daughter). I have a
McCullough family grouping where this occurred.. Jethro J. McCullough had a
son he named Jethro Tull McCullough (the Tull being his mother's maiden name).
Jethro J.'s brother Oliver McCullough named his son exactly after Jethro J.
Ergo, the nephew was always referred to as Jethro J. McCullough, Jr., and the
uncle as Jethro J. McCullough, Sr. (There are still family researchers who
have refused to accept evidence to the contrary and insist on putting Jethro J.
McCullough, Jr., on the family tree as the son of Jethro J. McCullough, Sr.,
because they cannot accept that traditions then differed from traditions now.)
Just to make your day, at one point in the mid to late 1800s Clark/Clarke was
the 7th most common name in the U.S. There are a lot of us who are
definitely NOT related to each other living in the same communities!!
Good luck with your research!
Karen
I am new to the list and sure you have already had this discussion but can't find it in the archives.
Does anyone know about a discussion, about the E on the end of the name CLARK in the year 1865?
I appreciate your help.

Sue,
Thank you for helping me to relay that information to the list. The person who sent it to me is very wise with such matters and includes her refs. Hopefully, it will be a help to others on this list, as it was to me.

Sandy: I am descended from David E. Clark (b. 1822) from the Johnson/Emmanuel County area (allied to Tarver, Cowart & Frost) and would be interested in joining any future gatherings of this group of Georgia Clarks. I will be out of town this weekend, otherwise I would love to participate in this one! My Clarks may or may not be connected with John 1768, but it is certainly possible. Is there a smaller email list for this group of researchers? If so, I would very much like to be a part of the list.
Thanks very much

Subject: [Clarke-Clark] GA Clark gathering
Genealogy researchers who are descendants of several CLARK pioneer families will gather this coming Sat., Oct. 23rd in Laurens County, GA to meet each other face to face and compare notes. This gathering is the result of many of these folks meeting on Rootsweb while researching four CLARK siblings. John Clark b. 1768 settled in Laurens county, GA about 1810. His brother Eli was there a short time and moved on to Colquitt County, GA. Their brother Henry CLARK settled in Montgomery County, GA about 1810. Their sister Hester CLARK who m. Thomas Lindsey also lived in the Montgomery County area prior to moving her family to the Colquitt County area after Thomas was killed. We invite any descendants of these CLARK lines or their allied families to join us at the Cadwell Community Center in Cadwell, GA just south of Dublin, GA in Laurens County. Bring a picnic lunch to share. We will eat about noon but will be there most of the day. Questions off the list to slsamz@charter!

of that town. He may have come in the capacity of a servant to his brother John, as was later noted in a recording of
his lands in Newport, Rhode Island. His brother, Dr. John Clarke, was disarmed with others as associates of Anne
Hutchinson at Boston on 20 November 1637. John and Thomas left the Massachusetts Bay Colony with the Coddington party
and were signers of the Aquidneck agreement on 7 March 1638. Joseph Clarke first appears on the record when he was
admitted an inhabitant of the Island of Aquidneck (at Portsmouth) on 24 January 1638/9, and again on 21 February 1638/9.
However, he soon left Portsmouth for Newport, newly founded by his brother, John Clarke, and others dissatisfied with
the government of Portsmouth. He was admitted an inhabitant and made a freeman of Newport at a General Quarter Court
held there on 17 December 1639. He was present in!
the
General Court of Election held at Newport on 12 March 1640, and was listed on the court roll of freemen on 16 March
1641. He served on the grand jury at a Quarter Sessions Court at Portsmouth on 1 December 1641. He is said to have been
one of the original members of the First Baptist Church of Newport in 1644, and was certainly a member in full communion
in 1648.
Sometime between March 1643 and 15 March 1644, Joseph Clark of Nuport had his lands in Newport, consisting of fifty
acres, recorded. His lands lay in several parcels, one of thirty acres "lying beyond the mill bounded on the North by
the hie way to Sachuis on the East by Stony River on the South by Robert Fields land," another parcel of 2.5 acres
between Mr. John Clark's farm and Thomas Clark's cow pasture, a home lot of 3.5 acres lying next to Mr. [John] Clark's
swamp at the lot's end, a "cowes hay" or pasture at the southwest corner of the harbor, another "cowes hay" on the east
side of Stony River, and one acre of upland bounded by "the Creeke & Thomas Clarks marsh, a way for the bringing forth
of hay & bringing thruw cattle to John Peckams marsh & Thomas Clarks marsh excepted." These lands, amounting to 40
acres, were bought by Joseph Clark for an unknown sum as evidenced by the treasurer's receipt produced by him at the
recording of the land. (An order issued by the tow!
n on 5
June 1639, divided all meadow lands within Newport at a rate of 20 "Cowes meat" to 300 acres of upland, so Joseph can
be expected to have given at least two or three cows for his land.) However, Joseph Clarke had an additional
ten ac[re]s more granted unto him by vertue of a certaine donation given by the sd Towne to certaine Servants the sd
Joseph being serv[an]t to mr John Clark w[hi]ch Tenn ac[re]s is layd forth in and w[i]th the first p[ar]cell of thirtie
all w[hi]ch amounting to the No of Fifthe ac[re]s more or less is fully Impropriated to the sd Joseph Clark his heirs or
Assignes for ever.
On 25 December 1644, Joseph Clarke deeded five acres of meadow lying on the soutwest side of the harbor in Newport to
Robert Stanton of Newport. His land is also mentioned in the record of highways laid out by William Dyre, Nicholas
Easton, and Mr. John Clarke dated 15 February 1654. One highway was laid out "from the Mill to Joseph Clarkes...towards
the great Comons, and by the side of mr John Clarkes Joseph and Thomas Clarkes lands &c being on the east side thereof
went the hie way...to mr Eastons Farme...downe to Stony River...and soe came into the Comons at the Rocks..." On March
10, 1656/7, Joseph Clarke was granted a 1/54th share of the purchase of Conanicut (later, Jamestown) and Dutch Islands,
and he also signed on behalf of his brother, it being ordered "that Joseph Clarke shall subscribe hereto in the behalf
of his Brother Mr. John Clarke in England." Joseph Clarke, of Newport, was also appointed to the perpetual council that
would govern the affairs of Conanicut a!
t the
time of the purchase.
In 16 May 1648, he was made a member of the General Court of Trials to represent the town of Newport, and served on both
the grand and petit juries at Warwick on 30 June 1657. His name appears on a list of the freeman of the Colony, of
Newport, in 1655. From 1655 on, he is referred to in the records of the Colony as "Mr. Joseph Clarke,"and was a
commissioner for Newport at the Court of Commissioners held at Portsmouth on 28 June 1655, at Newport on 19 May 1657, at
Portsmouth again on 10 March 1657/8, at Providence on 17 May 1659, and once more at Portsmouth on 23 August 1659. He was
made an Assistant (which appears to have been the same as commissioner) for Newport at the General Court of Election
held at Warwick on 18 May 1658, and served in this capacity at a General Court of Trials held at Newport in June 1658,
at a meeting of the General Counsel held at Warwick on 14 October 1658, at another General Court of Trials held at
Warwick on 16 October 1658, at the General Court!
of
Election held at Providence on 17 May 1659, at a General Court of Trials held at Newport on 3 March 1659/60, and at a
meeting of the Governor, Deputy Governor, and Assistants held at Newport on 25 November 1663. On 4 July 1657, at a
General Court held at Warwick, Mr. Joseph Clarke and three others were authorized to write a letter to Mr. John Clarke
in England to request further judgment of the authorities in England in the charges of treason brought against William
Harris by Roger Williams. He was also chosen to form a committee with five others at a General Court of Commissioners
held at Portsmouth on 23 August 1659, to write a letter of thanks to Mr. John Clarke, to review letters sent to the
colony regarding disputes with the "United Colonies, Massachusetts, or Plymouth," and to insturct Mr. Clarke to take
such matters before Parliament accordingly. The task of opening letters and informing Mr. Clarke, as well as providing
Clarke with a commission from the Colony, was
reauthorized to Mr. Joseph Clarke, althouhg he was not an Assistant at the time, and the others at a General Assembly
held at Warwick on 18 October 1660.
On 1 November 1661, Tobias Saunders, Robert Burdick, and Joseph Clarke were arrested for taking possession of lands of
Southertown, in the Pequot Country, under a warrant issued by the commissioners of the General Court of Massachusetts
dated 25 October 1661 to the constable of Southertown, Walter Palmer. However, Clarke "upon extraordinary occasion was,
by the Commissioners [of Southertown] and constable, set at liberty." Southertown was the name given by Connecticut to
the area called Misquamicutt (later Westerly) by the Rhode Islanders who were settling there. Saunders and Burdick were
taken to Boston, where from testimony they gave on 14 November 1661, it is learned that the Court of Rhode Island had
allowed them to purchase lands of the Indians there, and Burdick had "built a small house there, upon the lott layed out
to him." "Joseph Clark of Road Island, who was also apprehended in the company of the two former persons, being all
three in company, was released by the !
Constable
upon a very urgent occasion." Clarke was the only one identified as of "Road Island," which indicates that he was a
resident of the island of Road Island (Newport or Portsmouth), and was not residing in Westerly.
Joseph Clarke's name appears as one of the "purchasers and free inhabitants of our island, called Rhode-Island, and the
rest of the colonie of Providence Plantations" in the charter granted to Rhode Island by Charles II, King of Great
Britain, on 8 July 1663, and by order of this charter he was appointed an assistant to the General Assembly at Newport
on 1 March 1663/4. He served in this position again at meetings of the General Assembly held at Newport on 4 May 1664,
in October 1664, on 23 February 1664/5, and 3 May 1665. He was not re-elected to that position at the last meeting.
He appears to have had a son, whose name is not known, who was killed in 1662 in unknown circumstances. At a General
Court of Trials held at Newport on 8 March 1663/4,
Upon accation of some debate in this Court Concearning the Death of a young neger sarvant to Mr. benidict arnold now
govenor in the yeare 1661 soe Called and alsoe Concearning the Death of a son of Mr Joseph Clarke now assistant in the
yeare 1662 the Court declares themselves fully satisfied in the proceedings taken by the towne of newport and the
officers therof to the Enquiers after the Death of the parsones aforesd and that the proceeding aforesayd weare fully
availeable sufficiente and unquestonable as to the Clearing of all parsones from all maner of guilt Relating to the
Death of the parsones aforesd.
He appears to have lived in Newport for the rest of his life. Some histories say he removed to Westerly, but a detailed
study of the Rhode Island Colony Records shows that it was his son, Joseph, who was made a freeman of Westerly in 1668,
and appears there in 1669, 1671, and 1679. Joseph Clarke was appointed on 13 or 14 May 1667, to a committee by the town
of Newport to collect 155 pounds for the defense of that town and outfitting the prison. He took leave of grand jury
duty in 1669: at a Court of Trials held at Newport, 10 May 1669, Mr. Joseph Clarke, who had been selected by the town of
Newport to serve on the grand jury, had not appeared for his term, but considering "how much hee hath ben Imployed
formerly and that in this Court his son Joseph was prevayled with to Saply the place of a grand Jury man. The Court doe
Remitt the aforesd Mr Joseph Clarkes fine for not appearing." Mr. Joseph Clarke was a Deputy for Newport at meetings of
the General Assembly held at Newport!
on 6 May
1668, 28 October 1668, 27 October 1669, 13 October 1670, 26 October 1670, 25 September 1671, 5 March 1671/2, and 2
April 1672.
He was very active in the efforts of Rhode Island to thwart the designs of Massachusetts and Connecticut to take the
lands of the Narragansett region. On 20 Mar 1664/5, Joseph Clarke was among fourteen men chosen at Pettasquamscutt to
exercise the powers of Justices of the Peace or Magistrates for the Naragansett Country, or the King's Province, by
order of the King's Commissioners. On 2 May 1677, Mr. Joseph Clarke was elected and engaged as an Assistant at a General
Assembly and Election held at Newport and was appointed to a Court of Justices of the Peace to be held in the
Narragansett (or King's) Province on the 15th of May for the speedy and peaceful settling of the inhabitants of that
region. He was an Assistant at the General Court of Trials held at Newport on 7 May 1677, and shortly thereafter took
the acknowledgement of Thomas and Liddia Burge of Newport on a sale of land in Dartmouth, Plymouth Colony, to Thomas
Ward of Newport on 27 June 1677, in the capacity of an
Assistant. He was an Assistant at the General Court of Trials held at Newport on 24 October 1677, 6 May 1678, 23
October 1678, 17 May 1679, and 22 October 1679, and at General Assemblies held at Newport on 30 April 1678, 1 May 1678,
25 March 1679, 6 May 1679, 17 September 1679 (at Westerly), and 4 May 1680. On 9 July 1679, he was among four men,
including the Governor and Deputy Governor, who supplied 18 pounds, 8 shillings in partial payment to Mr. Arnold of 60
pounds the later paid to Capt. Randall Howldon and Capt. John Greene of Warwick on behalf of the Colony. On 23 June
1681, these four petitioned the General Assembly for repayment of the moneys they paid, which was granted.
A "mr. Clarke" mentioned as holding 17 acres at Stony River in Newport on behalf of John Alcock, deceased, for the son
of the latter in an inventory dated 8 August 1677, may have been Joseph Clarke, as he held land near Stony River (see
above). In 1680, Joseph Clarke of Newport was taxed £1 13s 3d. Mr. Joseph Clarke, "my loving friend," was made an
overseer of the estate of Rev. Obadiah Holmes in the will of the latter, dated 9 April 1681. On 25 September 1685,
Joseph Clarke, of Newport, and his wife, Margaret, sold a 1/54th part of Conanicut Island, consisting of 89 acres, and a
1/54th part of Dutch Island (which lies to the west of Conanicut, or Jamestown) to Francis Brinley of Newport for £100.
This is the last official record of Joseph Clarke. He may have been mentioned with other early church members in a
letter from Rev. Samuel Hubbard to John Thornton of Providence, dated 19 December 1686.
Joseph Clarke left no will that has been found. In the will of Dr. John Clarke, dated 20 April 1676, Joseph Clarke is
said to have had two wives, his son John being by the first. The will of Thomas Clarke, dated 28 July 1674, mentions
Margaret, wife of his brother Joseph Clarke. An addendum to the will of Thomas Clarke names the children of Joseph
Clarke that were alive on 19 December 1674: Joseph Clarke, John Clarke, William Clarke, Susannah (surname struck-out),
Mary (surname struck-out), Joshua Clarke, Sarah Clarke, Thomas Clarke, Kary (Carew) Clarke, and Elizabeth Clarke. Joseph
Clarke may have had more children who died young, before 1674, or were born after 1674, although the latter is unlikely.
His death is recorded in the family Bible held by the descendants of his son, John.

He married first ------, about 1641 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Newport, Rhode Island.
Tobias Saunders of Westerly in his will, dated 9 August 1688, mentions his "cousin Joseph Clarke," probably the son of
Joseph Clarke. Joseph Clarke Jr. was a neighbor and associate of Tobias, who bade Clarke and John Maxson Sr. assist his
widow as administratrix. As "cousin" was often used to denote a nephew, this would mean that Joseph Clarke's first wife
was sister to Tobias Saunders. However, Joseph Clarke Jr. was also a true cousin to Mary (Peckham) Saunders, Tobias's
wife and daughter of John and Mary (Clarke) Peckham, and Saunders may have been referring to him in that sense.

19 December 1674, as her maiden name is crossed out in the list of Joseph Clarke's children attached to the will of
Thomas Clarke.
+ 36 v. MARY5 CLARKE. Born about 1652 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Married William Peckham.
Joseph Clarke married second MARGARET ------, about 1656 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. She died in 1694 in Newport,
Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Newport, Newport, Rhode Island.
Margaret Clarke, wife of Joseph Clarke, was mentioned in the will of her brother-in-law, Thomas Clarke, dated 28 July
1674, and Joseph Clarke is said to have had two wives in the will of his other brother, John Clarke, dated 20 April
1676. Therefore, Margaret must have been his second wife. On 25 September 1685, Joseph Clarke, of Newport, and his wife,
Margaret, sold a 1/54th part of Conanicut Island, consisting of 89 acres, and a 1/54th part of Dutch Island to Francis
Brinley of Newport for £100. Several secondary sources list her as Margaret Turner, but there is no known evidence to
support this contention.

He died 29 July 1627 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, England, and was buried 30 July 1627 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, England. Residence: Westhorpe, Suffolk, England.
Thomas Clarke may have taken his father's lands in Westhorpe as he seems to have resided at that place when his children were born, while his brothers John, Carew and Christopher took their father's lands in Finningham as is seen in the two subsidies levied at Finningham in 1596/7.

"Mary Dyer sided with Anne Hutchinson in the Antinomian heresy in 1630s Massachusetts, for which Dyer and her husband, William Dyer, were banished with Hutchinson. The Dyers then settled in Providence, Rhode Island.
"In the 1650s the Dyers accompanied Roger Williams and John Clarke to England, where Mary Dyer became a Quaker, influenced by George Fox. Returning to Boston, she was arrested and expelled under a new law outlawing Quakers. (Her husband, who had not become a Quaker, was not arrested.)
"Mary Dyer was arrested a year later for preaching Quakerism in New Haven. she returned to Massachusetts to visit two English Quakers held in the jail, and was arrested there. Banished, she returned with other Quakers to defy the law, and was arrested. Two of her comrades were hanged, but she received a last-minute reprieve.
"She returned to Rhode Island, then traveled to Long Island, but finally in 1660 returned to Massachusetts to again defy the anti-Quaker law. This time, her sentence was carried out the day after her conviction, and on June 1, 1660, Mary Dyer was hanged for being a Quaker in Massachusetts.

) John Peckham, immigrant ancestor and founder of the family, was a native of England and emigrated to America at a date unknown. He was admitted an inhabitant of the Island of Aquidneck, R. I., March 20, 1638,which is the first record of him in the New World. He later removed to Newport, R. I., where he became a leader of great prominence in the affairs of the Baptist church. He became a freeman at Newport, March 16, 1641. In 1648 John Peckham was one of the ten male members in full communionin the First Baptist Church of Newport, having been one of its founders in 1644. He resided in that part of Newport which later became
Middletown,and was made a freeman there in 1655. A stone marked "I P" onthe land of William F. Peckham in Middletown is supposed to mark the grave of John Peckham. He married (first) Mary Clarke, the sister of Rev.John Clarke, of Bedfordshire, England, and Boston and Newport, an associate of Roger Williams. He married (second) Eleanor. John Peckham died after 1681, and prior to 1700. His will bears the date January 6, 1681. �455
He married Mary CLARKE, 20 May 1638 �53 in Newport,Newport,RI �53.

22. MARY4 CLARKE (Thomas3, John2, John1). She was baptized 26 July 1607 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, England. She died about 1647 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Newport, Rhode Island.
Mary Clarke probably came to the Colonies at the same time as her brothers, Thomas, John and Joseph, and probably married John Peckham after arriving in Rhode Island as she was apparently granted land by the town of Newport, possibly before her marriage. Mary Clark of Nuport had her land in Newport recorded immediately after that of John Peckham, sometime between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. Her lands consisted of 40 acres "lying upon the millbrook alias hambrook." Peckham's land also lay near the Hambrook mill. It seems unlikely that the town would grant both individuals land if they were already married. Two deeds, one from Joshua Coggeshall to Walter Cunigrave dated 30 May 1651, and one from Walter Cunigrave to John Green dated 6 June 1651, describe lands in Newport adjoining "land granted by the Town of Newport unto Mary Clarke now deceased some time the wife of John Peckham," the first of which deeds was witnessed by John and Elizabeth Clarke, probably the brother of M!
ary
Clarke and his wife.

She married JOHN PECKHAM, probably in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. He died after 1681 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Residence: Newport, Rhode Island. He married second Eleanor ------ (possibly Eleanor Weaver, sister of Clement Weaver of Newport), before 1648.
According to C. E. Banks, John Peckham came from the parish of Woodnesborough, co. Kent, England. John Peckham was admitted an inhabitant of Newport after 1 May 1639. John Peckham of Nuport had his land in Newport recorded sometime between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. At that time he held 40 acres of land, 32 acres in a parcel near Hambrook Mill on Stony River, bordering land of Thomas Clarke, and the rest in meadow and his home lot. He appeared at a General Court of Election as a freeman on 16 March 1641. On 27 January 1642/3, John Peckum of Newport purchased land on the southeast corner of the town, next to his own land, from James Barker of Newport. In 1648, he was a full member of the First Baptist Church, and Eleanor Peckham (his second wife) was baptized that same year. He appears as a freeman of Newport in a list of freemen of the Colony made in 1655. John Peckham was taxed at Newport in 1680. He left a will, dated 6 January 1681, witnessed by John Clarke and Henry T!
ew,
according to a list of seventeen wills presented to the Court in 1700 which lacked a third witness as required by law. However, the contents of the will are unknown.

John Clarke inherited lands in Westhorpe, Finningham, and Gislingham, co. Suffolk, from his father in the will of the latter, dated 26 February 1558/9. He probably gave up some of the lands in Finningham and Gislingham to his brother, Thomas Clarke (see below). John Clarke was taxed 7s. 8d. in lands valued at �5 in Finningham in the subsidy of 1565/6, and was taxed 2s. 8d. in lands worth 20s. at Finningham and 13s. 8d. in lands worth �5 at Westhorpe in 1575/6. In both subsidies, his mother, Margaret Clarke, widow, was also taxed in lands in Westhorpe. John Clarke "the younger," a customary tenant of the manor of Finningham, is mentioned in a suit brought against Richard Mulliner by Nicholas Raynberd on 20 February 1587/8, as having surrendered lands of Thomas Cooke to the Lady of the Manor for the use of Raynberd on or about 1 September 1587. He may have been the John Clarke who, along with Christopher Clarke, was taxed 16d. in lands valued at �4 in Finningham in the subsidy!

Obituary - Daily Telegraph (Saint John,NB) 24 Jan 1910
"At 9 o'clock Saturday morning there passed away in Carleton, one of its oldest residents, namely Mrs. Mary Dunham CLARK, who died at the home of her son, Clay CLARK, Prince St., in her 90th year. She was none and esteemed by a large circle of friends both on the West Side and in the city proper. All her life was spent in Carleton, and in her 90 years she had seen many changes in and about Saint John. She had been in good health up to Christmas time but since then had not been feeling well. In the days before professional nurses, Mrs. CLARK was ever ready to lend a helping hand where needed in cases of sickness or suffering. She was of Loyalist descent. For the past 53 years Mrs. CLARK had been a member of Ludlow Street Baptist Church, being one of the oldest of the congregation. She is survived by four sons and four daughters. The sons are; George J., E. Clay, Thomas W. and Whitney S.. The four daughters are ; Mrs. J.H. COGSWELL of Lepreau, Mrs. Elliott McCALLUM, Mrs. James!
McLAREN
and Mrs. John HARNED all of this city. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2:30. Service conducted by Rev. W.R. ROBINSON, burial (Old) Cedar Hill Cemetery."

His obituarry in the New Brunswick Courier of 1 Dec 1832 states, " Died , Carleton (West Saint John) Tuesday, while dressing himself, John McKENZIE, age 85, Sergeant in the 42nd or Royal Highland Regiment in the Revolutionary War.Settled at Nashwaak,York Co.,when disbanded, later moving to this county." �258
After the Revolutionary War, a number of soldiers who had served for seven years in the war were granted land in the wilderness of New Brunswick on the Nashwaak, which empties into the St. John River opposite Fredericton. The officers were given land from the mouth of the river up for seventeen miles and from that up for about seven miles was granted to the 42nd Highlanders. One of the officers Lieutenant Dugald Campbell was a land surveyor and to him was entrusted the laying out of the soldier lots. He saw that though it was wilderness then that there was a beautiful spot at the mouth of the Tay Creek which empties into the Nashwaak. So he had surveyed the land and laid out for himself what is now the nine farms instead of taking his land with the rest of the officers farther down the river. This curtailed the soldiers lots and made them very small. The officer�s property did not do him much good. He did not live long and the property passed out of the hands of the second
generation. Many of the soldiers sold their lots and went elsewhere. http://www.kanservu.ca/~richard/colter.html

_____________________________________________
From John Stevens<stevensj(a)gwi.net>
Nashwaak Families do not mention, John McKenzie, Sr. Only mentions Alexander McKenzie who was a Loyalist. Through study of deeds I have found several other Loyalist McKenzies : William, Malcolm (who may have settled in Kings Co.), John, Roderick, Hugh and perhaps Archibald, Some of these could be Loyalsts or sons of Loyalists
It appears that in 2 or3 deeds for John as Grantor that his wife is Joanna but as in all cases involving deeds where the wife signs off her right of Dower his wife signed off as Joanna McKenzie. I will quote these deeds a little later.
Significant deeds for John McKenzie who moved to West Saint John (Lancaster):
See York Co deed 13:122,dated 3 November 1826 Between Donald McKenzie of St. Marys Parish, York Co. and Jane his wife for the first part and John McKenzie of the Parish of Lancaster, Saint John Co." This is a Mortgage so this is why John is the grantee. Donald owes John 225 # " The land mortgaged are lots 97, 98 &99 bounded on the north and South by Alexander McKenzie (This establishes a relationship between John & Alexander McKenzie and Donald as well. Since Alexander had a son Donald. We don�t know if Donald was a son of Donald or Alexander. I tend to believe since the Mortgage was never discharged that Donald was Alexander�s son. This deed has the wording that if Donald or heirs should meet the condition of paying off 111# then this instrument becomes null and void. I don�t understand why the land was sold for 225 # and why the payoff is only 111#.
There was an earlier deed between John & Donald namely 8:282. BUT, it is extremely hard to read. The deed was written between 1815-1919 based on the PANB Film # (F-5619) John McKenzie and wife are from York Co, and John is defined as a Senior. The deed improves to the point where it states that we are dealing with lots 97,98 &99 same as deed 13:122. It also mentions land to the north owned by Alexander McKenzie. I noticed that there was a statement that John was granted this land as the result of his being a Discharged soldier of the disbanded 42th regiment. Could not make out anything further except it looked as if John McKenzie�s wife signed her name as Johanna.
Deed 1;147 John McKenzie and wife Joanna sold farm to Samuel Casey 100acres on the 12 November 1796 (Lot#2) for 5 #..
It looks like to me that John McKenzie and his family were of Lancaster Parish before 1820.
One other thing: since Donald McKenzie had a wife Jane and the Nashwaak Families tell us Donald�s wife was Janet McNabb. I believe John McKenzie was dealing with his nephew, Donald and not his son. �425
He married Joanna __?__, About 1787.
23 Joanna �425 __?__. Info name on deeds with husband �425.

Genealogy researchers who are descendants of several CLARK pioneer families will gather this coming Sat., Oct. 23rd in Laurens County, GA to meet each other face to face and compare notes. This gathering is the result of many of these folks meeting on Rootsweb while researching four CLARK siblings. John Clark b. 1768 settled in Laurens county, GA about 1810. His brother Eli was there a short time and moved on to Colquitt County, GA. Their brother Henry CLARK settled in Montgomery County, GA about 1810. Their sister Hester CLARK who m. Thomas Lindsey also lived in the Montgomery County area prior to moving her family to the Colquitt County area after Thomas was killed. We invite any descendants of these CLARK lines or their allied families to join us at the Cadwell Community Center in Cadwell, GA just south of Dublin, GA in Laurens County. Bring a picnic lunch to share. We will eat about noon but will be there most of the day. Questions off the list to slsamz@charter!

Yes, that sounds like the "William (b. 15 Jan 1707, Newport, RI;d.27 Mar 1749
) ..."Resided East Greenwich, RI" per my notes, and married Ann GREENE 8
Nov 1730" that I mentioned. This Capt. William Clark is my 7th Great Grand
Uncle.
Since it looks like all of his siblings were born in RI, you may be right
that most of the family stayed in the US. I'll add his children to my
file, but unfortunately I don't have anything else to offer :-(. If you
find any more info on him, though, I'd love to hear about it :-).
