Children

1. Thomas was born on March 8th, 1599 in St. Dunstan's, Stepney, London, Middlesex, England. It is not proven that this Thomas was the same as Thomas Clark, of the Plymouth Colony Ref: link to Great Migration Begins, Vol 1, A-F Page 377

Was this Mary the wife of John Clark, pilot of “the Mayflower” ?

From https://minerdescent.com/2011/04/17/john-clark/

Glazier, (“John Clarke, Mate of the ‘Mayflower’ in 1620” by Prentiss Glazier, Sr. in Detroit Society for Genealogical Research Magazine, 47:42) however, says the TAG 42 article “erroneously assumed that the Mate had been the John Clarke of Ratcliff who married Mary Morton at St. Dunstan’s in Stepney, Middlesex, in 1599, becoming parents of a son Thomas christened there 8 March 1599/1600, just eight weeks before the Rotherhithe Thomas Clarke. This mistake is understandable, since the churches are within sight of each other, just across the Thames from each other. It should be pointed out, however, that St. Dunstan’s records (Memorials of Stepney Parish p. 199) show that ‘Mr. John Clarke was chosen warden for Ratcliffe in 1627.’ The mate had died in 1623. The error was unintentionally included in the 1973 Thomas Clark Family by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Radasch
