   1718

   James-3 (John-2, John-1) Clark, was born 1687 at the "Brick Yard Farm" in the Old grant (near the later Herter residence on Causeway Street in Millis).

   In 1718, he settled in the Mucksquit section of North Medway on the 100 acres bought by himself and the father of John Partridge in 1708 of Elizabeth Plimpton - the east part of Lots 21, 22, 23 and 24, in the West Section.

   His farm was bounded on the north by Joseph Barber, who owned the north half of the Joseph Clark lot, west by David and Eleazer Adams, and east by "the Pond Road" (Pond Street). Later, his land went as far south as as Nathaniel Partridge's Lot No. 19.

   He married Mary Fisher, daughter of Jonathan of the Old Grant.

   James Clark served in the French and Indian Wars.

   Before he died in 1768, he divided his farm between his two sons, James receiving the west portion, and Asa the east half.

   Children:

   Mary 1718- m. 1738 Mrs. Mary Proven [w. William?]

   Marsa 1721- m. 1745 Mathew Proven [prob error for J Daniels]

   James 1725-1786 m. 1758 Martha Smith

   Rachel 1729- m. 1760 John Dean

   Asa 1731-1810 m. 1754 Betsey Barstow

   Note: James Clark willed his lands in Holliston to son James, and those in Medway to son Asa. He owned two of the islands in Winthrop's Pond, of which he apparently made no disposition.
