Elizabeth Clark

notes

Is Thomas Clark of Harwich the same as Thomas Clark of Plymouth?

From "Notes for Thomas Clark and Susanna Ring"

1689/90 On 12 February, a Thomas Clark married Elizabeth Crow [PVR 86], and this has incorrectly been claimed as a third marriage for our Thomas Clark. "Elizabeth, the wife of Deacon Thomas Clerke, deceased 13th November, 1695" at Plymouth [PVR 135]. There seems to be only one Thomas Clark at Plymouth with wife Elizabeth at this time, and our Thomas was certainly not a deacon. The Thomas Clark who was a deacon is supposed to have died in 1727. If our Thomas had married Elizabeth Crow, he would have been ninety years old, and have been living as a widower for nearly twenty years when the marriage to Elizabeth Crow took place. [7][8]
