Children of William Clarke of Salem with 2nd wife Katherine Franklin

1. Bethiah baptized at Salem on August 26, 1638; died before February 28, 1678/9 when her husband remarried; married Joseph Hutchinson before 1660. [1]

Possible siblings of that Rebecca are ID'd here: "In his History of Salem, p. 31, Sidney Perley wrote, "Robert Prince appears as a servant, with Bethiah and Lydia, probably his sisters, in a tavern of John Gedney in 1651. Rebecca Prince, perhaps another sister, married John Putnam and was called 'stepdaughter' by Mr. Gedney.""

Notes

• Will of John Gedney 1684: Item. I give unto Bethiah Hutchinson, that now liveth with me, five pounds in money and the debt which her father Joseph Hutchinson oweth unto me being on my book thirteen pounds sixteen shillings seven pence to be paid to her by her father Joseph Hutchinson.
• A Problem in Salem Genealogical History
• There is some question about Bethiah's surname--whether it was really Gedney or perhaps was Townsend.
