PREFACE.

The author is well aware that this little volume can con
tain but a small part of the very numerous descendants of
Samuel Clark. Some of the branches of the family he has
not been able to discover and trace, but he trusts the fami
lies given will lead to a further knowledge of those fully as
important but not known to him. He hereby solicits any
information and corrections any one may be able to give,
and if sufficient to warrant it, he will publish a new edition
or an addenda.
This has been a gradual gathering of more than twenty
years, and a work of love. To confirm and gather the his
torical parts, he has spent some days in the Astor Library,
New York City, the Historical Library, Newark, N. J.,
the State Library of Wisconsin, at Madison, and the Mer
cantile at St. Louis, Mo., to all of which he is indebted.
He acknowledges the valnable assistance of many of the
family, of whom he can mention but few, such as the late
Eev. Peter B. Heroy and his wife, Mrs. A. A. Williamson,
Mrs. Wm. Benedict, Margaretta Clark, and others of Bed
ford, N. Y. Mr. S. A. Clark of Sing Sing, N. Y. ; Amos
R. Clark of Tarrytown ; Mrs. Louise Mingay and S. W.
Stevenson of Saratoga Co., N. Y. ; Mrs. F. Clark Van
Wy ck, Wm. Anson of Michigan; Lieut. Jehiel Clark of
Massillon, Ohio, and many others whose assistance has been
given most kindly and freely, and whose words of encour-
atrement have been most grateful to the author.
The work may properly be divided into two parts: —
1st. The Historical, during the lives of Samuel, Sr., Will
iam, Sr., and Nathan, Sr., from 1636 to 1730.

b PEEFACE.
2nd. The Genealogy proper, begins with the family of
Nathan Clark, Sr., from whom the families are reckoned,
and the generations are traced, in this way, for example:
Edgar W. Clark, son of Nathaniel, of Reuben, of Nathan,
Jr., of Nathan, Sr. Each family is headed in this manner,
which seems more simple than the complicated system of
index figures.
By consulting the Index at the close of the book, the
names of any person can be most readily obtained. There
are two indexes, one of the Clark name and the other of
names connected with the Clark family.
The labor connected with this little volume has not been
light, nor free from perplexity, and muph of it was done
without thought of publishing it, but if it may lead us to
emulate the virtues of our noble ancestors, and be bless
ings to our posterity, my heart's desire vyill be achieved.
This second edition I send out to include some family
records received too lute for the first edition, and to correct
some errors found in it. To have every thing correct is
difficult, but very important in a work of this character.
I have inserted what I have been able to obtain, after many
letters of inquiry. The generosity of Nathan E. Clark,
. Esq., of Athens, in taking many copies, has enabled me to
issue this edition. Thanking especially the subscribers to
the first edition for their liberal encouragement, I now
close my humble work.

INTRODUCTION.

In the Records of the Descendants of Hugh Clark, of
Watertown, Mass., from 1640-1866, the author says: —
" A family of Clarks settled in the valley of Connect
icut, and branches of it in New York State."
A portion of this family I have endeavored to trace.
Several Clark families appeared in the Connecticut Val
ley, between 1631 and 1636; how many were related to
each other it has been impossible to determine.
Lieutenant William Clark came from England in the
ship " Mary and John," leaving Plymouth, Eng., March
30, 1630. He may have been the father of our Samuel,
but it is doubtful. He settled in the Hartford Colony and
some of his descendants are in Northampton, Mass.
Deacon George Clark was one of the earliest settlers of
Milford, Ct., and may have been a brother of our Samuel.
Richard Law, the acknowledged legal adviser of the com
munity of Stamford settlers for more than a quarter of a
century, had a son, Jonathan Law, born -in 1636, who
married Sarah Clark, daughter of Deacon George Clark,
on June 1, 1664. She was born 1641. Their son Jonathan,
born Aug. 6th, 1676 — graduated at Harvard College,
1695 — was Chief Justice of Connecticut for 16 years, and
Governor of the State from 1741 to 1750. George Law,
who owned the line of steamers from New York to Pan
ama, was a descendant. He died November 18, 1881, in
New York, a millionaire, aged 75 years.
The Hon. Daniel Clark, of Windsor, Ct., seems to
have been a brother of our Samuel. The similarity of

O INTRODUCTION.
names in the families, the dates, the nearness of their first
locations, one in Windsor, the other in Wethersfield, give
rise to the belief that they were brothers. The Hon.
Daniel came from Warwickshire, Eng. We do not posi
tively know the origin of our Samuel, but have reason to
believe that he came from Devonshire, Eng. Both were
members of the Connecticut Colony by or before 1638;
whether they came with Rev. Thomas Hooker in June,
1636, or by vessel, we do not know.
Hon. Daniel Clark, of Windsor, Ct., born about 1622,
died Aug. 12th, 1710, aged 88. He was appointed a com
mittee with John AUyn and Mr. Wyllis, to settle questions
between New Haven and Connecticut Colonies August 19th,
1663. His descendants were, viz. : In line, John, born 1656,
Windsor, Ct., died 1715. Daniel, Jr., born 1704, Lebanon,
Ct., died 1767 or 8. Beuoni, born 1760, Lebanon, Ct.,
settled in Cayuga county. New York, died 1844.
The last was the grandfather of Gen. John S. Clark,
Esq., of Auburn, New York;
Hon. Daniel Clark, called also Cap't married Mary New
berry, June 13th, 1644; she died August 29th, 1688. He
then married Martha (Pitkin) Walcott.
His children, viz.: —

ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY OF SAMUEL CLARK, SR.

It seems to be a confirmed tradition that this family
came from Devon, England, from near Plymouth. In
1855, Dr. John S.. Clark, of Chicago, 111., on a visit in En
gland, obtained the family " Coat of Arms," now in use by
James John Clark, Esq., owner of the estate atBucklands.
The author Burke says: "The Clarks of Bucklands
were from the North, I believe from Elgin. They settled
down in Devon so me time in 1500, are worthy, upright and
respected people." I take the liberty of quoting Dr.
John S. Clark, who very truly says: "The Clarks have
never been an uppish, pretentious people; most of them
farmers; plain, siimple, honest people, always well enough
oif in a wordly semse to show them capable of taking care
of themselves without following mean occupations and
poor enough to show that they are not grabbers of every
thing in sight, amd with too much of love for freedom to
seek to be sycoph;ants or royal favorites."
SAMUEL CLAEK, SE.
From " Huntingdon's History of Stamford" ahd the
records, we learn n Samuel Clark came to Wethersfield in
1636 ; " one of the company of restless and dissatisfied
men " who forsooik the colony ; and was one of twenty men
who bound themscelves May 16th, 1640 (see Scharf's His
tory of Westchester Co.), to establish for themselves a
home at Rippowaims, now Stamford, Ct. Samuel Clark,
born perhaps, about 1619, in Devonshire, came with the
company from Wethersfield, Ct., and is on each of the

10

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF

first three lists made of the settlement. They purchased
the land of the Indian chiefs, Ponus and Toquamske, for
£30, in July, 1640. On the first assignment of lands to the
settlers, Oct. 19th, 1641, Samuel Clark was allotted seven
acres. He appears in the list of pioneers to the end of
1642. He is supposed to have lived in Milford, Ct., in
1669, then moved to Hempstead, L. I., and to have lived
in New Haven, Ct., in 1685, died about 1690. He married
Hannah, daughter of Rev. Robert Fordhain.
Samuel Clark, Sr., seems to have had a large family of
children. Probably one removed to Hempstead, L. I.,
where Rev. Richard Denton went in 1644. William, with
probably a Joseph, remained for a time in Stamford; and
Samuel, Jr., removed to New Haven, where his father,
Samuel, died at his house in 1690.
We know nothing definite only of Samuel, Jj'., and Will
iam, Sr. Samuel Clark, Jr., lived in New Haven, Ct. He
married, November 7th, 1662, Hannah Tuttle, daughter of
John Tuttle. He died Feb. 22d, 1729,— his wife died
Dec. 21st, 1708. Their children were: 1st Samuel, 2d
Daniel, 3d John, 4th Joseph, 5th Stephen, 6th Nathan, 7th
Hannah, 8th Phineas, 9th Abigail, 10th Hester, 11th Tim
othy, 12th Mebitable..
In the list of inhabitants of Stamford, January 1st, 1701,
is Joseph Clark, property 2U. Also a Daniel Clark, was
county clerk of West Chester county from 1711-22. Both
probably were sons of Samuel Clark, Jr.
There seems pretty good evidence that the above
Joseph Clark took land in Litchfield county, Ct., and re
moved to it. Here he had a son, Amos, who lived to be
over 70 years of age. Anios had a son, Friend, who had
ten children, the youngest of whom was Amos Clark, of
Centralia, III., born in 1805, when his father was over 50
years old. He is residing in Centralia in 1892.

SAMUEL CLARK, SR., AND DESCENDANTS. 11
WILLIAM CLARK, SR.
The following, William, Sr., was a son of the first Sam
uel, of Stamford, Ct.
William Clarke, Sr., was one of the original proprietors
of a part of the Township of Bedford, West Chester Co.,
N. Y. He with fifteen others purchased, on the 23d of
December, 1680, the land where Bedford now stands, of
Indian chiefs, Mohegans. In 1690 there were thirty-one
inhabitants in the Township, two of whom were William
Clark's. On the last deed from Indians (Mohegans) of
land is the name Nathan Clark, a son, as witness July 24th
1703. On the 8th of April, 1704, Queen Anne confirmed the
town of Bedford, 23,000 acres to its 29 land-holders, three
of whom were the two Williams and. Nathan Clarke. Bed
ford was called the " Hop Lands," also " Katonahs
Land." They organized a church (Congregational) in 1680.
First minister was Peter Prudden, from 1681—8; second
minister, Thomas Denham, June 28, 1688; salary, £20.
First installed pastor was William Tennant, in 1720, who
remained six years. In 1692, December 16th, David Mead
was chosen to keep the drum and beat it to call together
the assemblies; allowed " ten shillings yearly." Bedford
had no slaves.
This William Clarke, Sr., was born in 1645, in Stam
ford, Ct., and died in Bedford, in 1712, aged about 67
years. There are many conveyances of land on record to Will
iam, Sr., like the following: —
October 28th, 1684, he receives an allotment of land,
February 3d, 1686, Joshua Webb conveys to him eight
acres of, land.
Jan. 1st, 1680'. John Higgins conveys to him an 8 acre
lot, lying in the East field.

12 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF
Dec. 6th, 1687. Cornelius Seeley conveys to him a
meadow of three acreis, lying between the Cartway and the
River. June 25th, 1688. .John Higgins conveys to him a house
and one acre of land, lying north of the Cartway.
Oct. 28th, 1684, is irecorded the following: " The record
of William Clark's lanid, meadow and fence. A house lot iu
the East Street contaiining three acres more or less bounded
upon the street south and west; upon ye field east and
north upon Cornelius Seeley. Also in the east field six acres
of land more or less bounded south upon ye land of Abra
Ambler north upon tllie Cartway ; and west upon the land
layd out to Thomas p(enoyer now ye said Clark's ; and to ye
East by ye land given to ye said Clark by the town. Also
more in the same field six acres of land more or less layd out
unto Thomas penoyer sold by him to Tryhern : and by try-
hern to Joseph Miller and by ye said Miller sold to John
wescot and by wcscrat to ye above said William Clark
bounded by ye Cartway north: and by ye said William
Clark East: South upton John Cross and Abe-Ambler west
upon ye land layd out, to david Waterbery."
In the first divisiom of land, in 1680, 18 acres of land
were deeded in severalty to 13 men, all from Stamford.
In May 11th, 168i2, General Court ordered the name
changed from " Hop Lands," to Bedford. In 1680 a
•church lot was reserved and the Court directed that a meet
ing house be erected. Bedford was in Fairfield Co., Ct.,
but in 1683 it was trainsferred to New York Province.
On the Indian Deedl, Dec. 23d, 1680, were names of the
Mohegan chiefs, Kafconah, Sagamore, Jovis, Stackawae,
Segotah, Tohonocagyah, Gannago and Kackemond.
From the Records olf Bedford it seems that William Clark,
Sr., had three sons, William, Jr., Nathan and Joseph.
The names William and Nathan occur in a list of free
holders of Bedford in 1713-14.
William Clark, Jk., eldest son of William, Sr., was

SAilUEL CLARK, SR., AND DESCEXDAXTS. 13
born about 1662, for in 1690, he was one of the 21 male
inhabitants of Bedford. Conveyances of land to and from
him are on record from 1690. He married Hannah — and
had John, William, Ebenezer, David and Joseph.
Joseph Clark, youngest son of William, Sr., was born
about 1680. His name is found on several conveyances,
one of which is his Deed, Nov. 26th, 1703, of twelve acres
of upland, to Thomas Wood " upon ye Ridge called Clark
Ridge ^ part of ye land y't was laid out to ye said Clark's
honoured father William Clark, Sr.
NATHAN CLARK, SR.
SON OF WILLIASI, SR., OF SAMCEL, SR.
Nathan Clark, Sr., probably second sou of Wm. Clark,
Sr., was born about 1666. On July 24th, 1703, he was a
witness on a deed of land deeded by the Indians to the
whites. He was one of the twenty-nine land-holders of
Bedford, to whom Queen Anne confirmed 23,000 acres of
land on the 8th of April, 1704. He is also named among
the free-holders of Bedford, in 1713-14. In the county
records is the following: " Jeuen 22d 1699-700. The town
by a maiger vote doth mack choice of Richard Holmes, &
Nathan Clarck for survairs for this year ensewing."
It would seem from his will dated April 29th, 1726,
when he was too feeble to sign his name, that he must have
been near death iu 1726.
Nathan Clark's, Sr., last will, dated April 29th, 1726, a
verbatim copy made from the original in 18'J4 in possession
of Mrs. A. Williamson, daughter of Mr. Jeremiah Clark,
of Bedford, N. Y., in the handwriting of Zach Mills, then
Town Clerk :

This within is Recorded in " ye Records of Bedford " in
Book No 2 in Folio 172. Pr Zach. Mills.
On April 28, 1738, NathanClark, Sr., granted to his son
Joseph, " Twenty and seven acres be the same more or less
on the west ridge at a place called Copp's Bottome."
" The consideration was sixty pounds." The Deed was
recorded Oct. 24, 1738.
On the plot of some land " within the bounds divided
equally according to quality and quantity in the year 1736,
NathanClark drew Lot No. 4." Originally, " the land was
bought of the Indians in large tracts, and then divided into
parcels of equal value, which were drawn for by lot. To
divide the land into tracts of equal value was often a diffi
cult and vexatious undertaking. This was dividing the
land " in severalty." Aug. 3, 1726, Nathan Clark was
appointed with two other prominent men "to lay out and
divide by lot all the undivided land remaining." Twelve
years later, April 18, 1738, this work was finished. This
was after his severe sickness and the making of his will.
He removed with his father in 1680 from Stamford, Ct.,
to Bedford. He lived and died on the east side of the
street half way up the hill, nearly opposite the second Pres
byterian Church, about one quarter of a mile north of the
village of Bedford on a farm where his father William had

also lived and died, now owned by Mr. Richard P. Louns-
bury. This was the "House lot" willed to his son
Nathaniel. From town and county records we learn that
in 1687: "They grant unto Nathan Clark four acres of
swamp on the same brook next to John Higgins his
swamp." In the old town papers is the following : —
"Nathan Clark macks entry of his ere marck for his
marckable creatures namely one half penny on the under
side of the oflp ear, ieuen 29th 170J." He was elected

PART SECOND.

STEPHEN CLARK.
SON OF NATHAX, SR., AUTHOR OF THE WILL.
Stephen, eldest son of Nathan, Sr., born about 1701.
Tradition speaks of two sons at least — one, Nathan, re
moved to Vermont, then considered a part of New York
Province. He was iu Bennington, December 15, 1765 ;
had a son, Nathan, and was the first speaker of the first

this family.
Cornelius, prooably another son of Stephen, was born
July 22, 1741, in Bedford, N. Y.; died February 1, 1816;
married Elizabeth  , who was born October 10,
1737; died Ma}' 1, 1819. He was a soldier in the Revo
lutionary war, and " his wife Elizabeth was one of the
heroines of the Revolution, and stories of her energy,
pluck and courage, when assaulted by the " cowboys,"
have been handed down in the family, and have appeared
in print. Their children, were: Stephen S., born 1776,
died October 27, 1802. Lounsbury, born 1779; died April
21, 1847. Elisha, born January ^1, 1781 (see). Nathan,

lighted residence and grounds, the bountiful refresh
ments, the band of music from Newburgh, the
assemblage of many of the first people of South
ern Ulster, and of Newburgh and other places, made
it a brilliant occasion. Not the least were the ex
pressions of gratitude and esteem from the Methodist
church for his large-hearted assistance in the building of
their new edifice ; and also the hearty commendation of the
Presbyterian church for his large gifts and his fidelity as
chairman of the building committee in the erection of
their church. To add to the gladness of the occasion. Rev.

Newburgh, theu in Ulster Co. He married in Bedford and
removed to Newburgh about 1743. About 1763 he pur
chased 140 acres of land north of Newburgh, near Balm-
ville, paying 17 shillings, 6d, New York currency, per

iam Elsworth to Samuel Stratton.
Jehiel Clark was one of the " Signers of the Pledge,"
July, 1775. In 1764 he held the office of " pounder."
He seems to have had five sons: Samuel, James, Dan
iel, Lewis and Jehiel, all of whom were " Signers of the
Pledge," in 1775. He had daughters also', at least two,
Kathy and Julia.
General Samuel Clark, son of Jehiel Clark, was born

17th, 1823, aged 82 years. He is buried in the cemetery
one mile from his old home, and one mile west of Round
Lake Camp Meeting grounds. His old home at East Line
stands about the same as when he died. His father re
moved with him to Newburgh, when he was about two
years old.
He married Elizabeth Fowler about 1763, probably near
Newburgh, then in Southern Ulster. She was born July
5th, 1744, and died at their home in East Line, July 6th,
1818, aged 74, and was buried by her husband, in the cem
etery where he has been buried.

at East Line, May 10th, 1792; Brigadier-General of the
9th Brigade of Saratoga Co., July 3rd, 1804; and Major-
General, March 8th, 1814.

7-8-9, 1800 to 1805.
There seems to have been religious services held in his
house at an early date, but they were soon transferred to
his court house a few rods from his house. At that early
date the family seems often to have attended the Presby-

terian Church at Ballston Spa. Very early Gen. Samuel
Clark, with a few others built a Presb}terian Church, just
south of his residence, on the elevation now occupied by
the residence of Mr. Ferris. He was one of the Tiu,steos.
The membership seems to have continued small, and the
building was removed after a time to the corners and
located on the road corner of the cemetery, but fell into
decay and was demolished. It was called the Armstrong
Church, from Rev. Armstrong who took interest in it. He
was one of the originators of the movement to build the
church called the " New Chapel," and was one of the first
trustees, holding that offce at the time of his death. It
was a Methodist Church, built in 1810. Previously the
family seems to have attended the Presbyterian Church at
Ballston Spa.
In 1788 Rev. Eliphalet Ball, formerly a pastor at Bed
ford, N. Y., removed to Ball's Town (Ballston), Saratoga
Co., N. Y., and some of the Bedford friends went also,
among them General Samuel Clark, of Balmville.

Rev. William Anson, the husband of Elizabeth Clark,

1770; d. July 17th, 1848. His father had been a student
at Oxford, England. Rev. WiUiam Anson joined N. Y.
Conference in 1800, and labored two years in the wilds of
Canada. In 1802 he came over 400 miles to N. York
City, was ordained Deacon, and on horseback started for
his appointment to Grand Isle, a circuit entirely new, where
the people, he was told, were " a savage race." With
love to God and man he mounted his horse and started for
his distant field. " No steamer, car or even stage then ex
isted through portions of his journey. After many days of

SAMUEL CLARK, SR., AND DESCENDANTS. 79
toilsome travel he arrived at the bar on the eastern shore of
the lake. The bar could not be forded, but on a raft, after
the third attempt he reached the island. He stepped upon
ground untrodden before by the itinerant; unattended by
any colleague, with no one to introduce him, with no
kind family that he had ever heard of to receive him, with
out a solitary acquaintance, or even a letter of introduction.
To the first person he met he introduced himself as " a
minister of the Gospel," and inquired for a place to preach,
but there was none. He was told of a tavern two miles
distant, but that " they had no rum at present." Noth
ing daunted by the want of rum he sought the tavern and
gave notice of preaching there next morning, but he was
awakened by the sound of cannon as it was the Fourth of
July morning. Thus he began. He preached in barns,
in private log cabins, in school-houses and groves, and
closed the year with one hundred and two members. In
1807 he became Presiding Elder of Ashgrove District for
four years, and afterwards Elder of Rhinebeck District,
a large and leading field. He preached in times and under
circumstances that tried men's souls, and the sketch given
me by his sou William Anson seems like a romance of
Christian heroism. LYDIA CLAEK.

Samuel Clark, m. Pontius Hooper. They lived for some

INDEX.
Not to make the list of names too cumbrous, I have placed in the lists
the names that would give the clue to the families, omitting those who
died young, or have not been married or been known in life as separate
from their parents. I have considered Clark and Clarke the same name
as does the New England Genealogical Dictionary.
