My opinion is follow original documentation as well. I have found many older publications wrong. If we review documentation, may be able to distinguish correctly.

It’s difficult when working in this era. Certain well known descendants have had past genealogist that missed looking at the documents and used conjecture. Even the best, made mistakes, we must remember they didn’t have internet to search for documents.

The father attached to Jonathan Clark, John Clark is thought to have died without issue.

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clark-5035
"John Clarke had no children, so Edward Wyatt acquired by 3 September 1663 (when he sold it to George Poindexter) 850 acres formerly belonging to John Clarke, deceased, which had been found to escheat."

In light of this evidence, I suggest that we detach Jonathan ‘John’ Clark as child of John Clark
