Ref.: New Eng. Hist. & Gen. Reg., Jan 1974, pg 23: Clark-Clarke Families Of Early Connecticut by Prentiss Glazier.

James Clark (ca. 1610-post 1661) of New Haven was probably a brother of John. By his first wife he had:

1. Mary,
2. Sarah,
3. James (of Stratford); and
4. prob. Marcy,
5. Samuel,
6. dau who m. Nathaniel Sanford,
7. Susan and
8. Ebenezer (of Wallingford).

The family is well traced by Donald Lines Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven (1924), 2:407-413.; The American Genealogist 9:60 and 31:130-1.; The mother of his children was perhaps born Fernes or was perhaps Sarah Harvey (incorrect!),, but no proof has been found. He was probably not the legatee mentioned in Henry F. Waters, Genealogical Gleanings in England (1907), 2:1256/7, for no brother John is mentioned. It is probable that this ref. is to James of Roxbury, Ma.

Biography

The wife of James Clark of New Haven Colony was not Sarah Harvey. Therefore she was not baptized May 19, 1611 at Great Gaddesden, England It has been assumed that the first wife of James Clark arrived in Boston with him on the Hector, in 1637. However, we don't know this for sure. We do not even know her given name.

size=m Goodwife Clark was seated in the meetinghouse for the 10 March 1646, and the 11 Feb 1655/6 seating. There were two Sister Clarks in 1646, one the wife of John Clark. Atwater's History of New Haven states that in 1646 James' wife was the Sister Clark sitting on the side, while John's wife was in the long seats. John and his wife died about 1648. In the 1655/6 seating, Sister Clark was seated in the long seats.<ref>Atwater, Edward Elias, and Lucy M. Hewitt, and Bessie E. Beach. History of the Colony of New Haven to Its Absorption Into Connecticut Meriden, Connecticut:1902 pp 544, 545, 548.</ref> It was probably James's wife in the longseats in 1646 also. She died after the 11 Feb 1655/6 meetinghouse seating and before 17 Oct 1661 when James remarried.<ref>Vital Records of New Haven 1649-1850 Part I. Hartford:The Connecticut Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, 1917</ref>
