Ann unknown

From The Memorial History of Boston: Including Suffolk County, Massachusetts. 1630-1880, Volume 2 Justin Winsor, Clarence F. Jewett Ticknor, 1881 - Boston (Mass.) page 547

"Mention has already been made of the Clark family (Vol. I. p. 586, No. 37), following Savage's account. This proves to be erroneous in some respects. Colonel Thomas Clark, the speaker and assistant, married Mary, sister of Israel Stoughton, and had only two children, — Mehitable Warren and Elizabeth, wife successively of John Frckc and Elisha Hutchinson."

" The other Thomas Clark, his contemporary, was captain in Colonel T. C.'s regiment, owned land on Boylston Street, was a locksmith or blacksmith, and a reputable citizen. He had an only son Thomas, and daughters Leah Baker, Deborah Byfield, and Elizabeth Stevens.

Savage has his entry muddled. There were two Thomas Clark's of Boston, the first was the merchant, married Mary. The second was the blacksmith or locksmith, married Ann.

"Clark, Thomas, Boston, merchant, capt. in 1653, speaker in 1662, d. 28 July 1678. Will made shortly before his death, names widow Ann, daughters Leah wife of Thomas Baker, Deborah w. of Nathaniel Byfield, Elizabeth Stevens, son Thomas."
