Biography
From Ref: https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/d/e/e/Phillip-D-Deere/WEBSITE-0001/UH...
Richard Clark was a shipbuilder. He arrived in Eastern Massachusetts in 1671. He then moved to Long Island and served as anapprentice to Thomas Moore, shipbuilder. Some believe he married Moore's daughter. In 1675 he lived in Southhold, Long Island, New York. In 1678 he was in the Rahway area of Elizabeth, New Jersey. In 1679 he patented 300 acres near Rockaway, Morris Co., New Jersey. He died on the way to New York in 1697.
Richard Clark Sr. left a will dated 1 Apr 1697, in NY, where he may have been taken ill and probably died a few days later. The will was proved in New York on April 15, 1697.

Disputed Origins
From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-359031
There is much speculation regarding Elizabeth's parents. Many claim they were Thomas Moore and Elizabeth Yonges, while others dispute this claim and state there is little or no documentation to support the assertion and was not accepted by Charles Carroll Gardner or recent genealogists.
On this, there is an interesting discussion in Clark & Allied Families, by Field, (1971) [copy in N.J. State Library, Trenton, N.J.]. "Richard Clark may have been distantly related to Thomas Moore, or his wife, and in all probability was indentured to him as an apprentice. Thomas Moore was a shipwright and a prominent and wealthy individual, and was believed to have been a cousin or some relative of Sir Thomas Moore. It is quite possible that Richard Clark was the son of Richard Clark of Bradwell, Suffolk County, England, the same county from which Thomas Moore came. Young Richard Clark lived with the Moore family for many years while learning the ship-building trade. . .
“Sometime in 1660, 1661 or possibly before, he married an Elizabeth, whose last name is unknown, either in Salem or after arrival in Southampton. There has been some discussion as to whether his wife was Elizabeth Moore, the daughter of Thomas Moore. This does not seem feasible as she was born 31 January 1646/7 which would have made her very young to be married in 1660, and she is supposed to have married Simon Grover, so Elizabeth's surname remains a mystery. . . ."
