Mary Clarke

Biography

In 1998 the following article was published on the English origins of the Clarke family:

Christopher Gleason Clark, THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF JOSEPH CLARK (1613-1683) OF DEDHAM AND MEDFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS in NEHGR vol 152 p 3-23

This is *THE* State of current research.

Earlier works are discussed and completely refuted. The Clarkes of Dedham were the children of Thomas Clarke of Wesgate and Mary Canne. Please see the article above. The Clarke family pedigree is outlined for the first time.[1] [2]

Children of Thomas Clarke of Westage and Mary Canne include:

1. Thomas Clarke bp 1 APR 1604 Banham, Norfolk, England DEATH 1 JUL 1656 in Banham, Norfolk, England. m Elizabeth __________ by 1637.
2. Rowland Clarke bp 1 MARCH 1606 Banham, Norfolk, England DEATH 02 FEB 1638 • Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts arrived 1637 in Dedham, removed to Medfield. He came from Banham, Suffolk; England. He had *NO* children[2][3] [1] The children normally given him were actually his siblings.
3. Rebecca Clarke bp 26 AUG 1610 Banham, Norfolk, England DEATH 1 JAN 1680 Medfield, Worcester, Massachusetts. m 17 May 1630, Wramplingham, Norfolk, England, Ralph Wheelock. Arrived Dedham by 1637.
4. Joseph Clarke bp 11 APR 1613 Banham, Norfolk, England DEATH 6 JAN 1684 Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts, m 15 April 1640, at Banham, Alice Fenn. Arrived Dedham by September 1640.
5. Mary Clarke bp 12 MAR 1614 Banham, Suffolk, England. possibly married Benjamin Smith, 10 August 1641, Dedham, Massachusetts Bay Colony, d 12 August 1692, Boston, Massachusetts.
6. Elizabeth Clarke bp 23 Jul 1620 in Banham, Norfolk England and died 22 Dec 1683 in Medfield. m George Barbour, 24 November 1642, Dedham, Massachusetts.

Disputed - Priscilla Clarke almost surely born 1621 Banham, Suffolk, England DEATH 12 AUG 1692 • Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts.

The initial article identified the parents of Priscilla Clark as likely the daughter of Thomas Clarke of Westgate and Mary Canne. [1] However, the followup article showed this to be incorrect. All the children of Thomas Clarke and Mary Canne were explicitly named in the will of Faith Catton of Banham, and Priscilla was not among them. Though likely closely related, this Will eliminates the possibility that Priscilla was the daughter of Thomas Clarke. [2]

Death

Thomas died May 10, 1638 in Banham, Norfolk, England. The burial entry in 1638 reads: Thomas Clarke ye Elder, carpenter was buried. Date and month unclear. [11][12][13] His will dated 11 July 1637, and proved at New Buckenham 20 June 1638.[1]

Will

A transcription of the will for Thomas Clarke is published in "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register", Vol 152, January 1998, pg. 15, in an article by Christopher Gleason Clark, entitled "The English Ancestry of Joseph Clark (1613-1683) of Dedham and Medfield, Massachusetts". The will cites his grandaughter Marye Wheelock. This, along with other evidence presented in the article, strongly suggests the relationships among the Clarks, Wheelocks, and Barbers presented in this genealogy.[14]

Biography

Mary Canne was born about 1580 in Old Buckenham, Norfolk, England, probably the daughter of Thomas Canne and Rebecca Plowman.[1] (the cited source notes that only the first name "Mary" was visible and that the register was damaged).

Marriage 18 Oct 1602 Banham, Norfolk: Thomas Clarke to Mary Camit. [4]

Research notes

It is possible that his mother Mary was the Mary Clarke who was admitted to the church at Dedham, MA on Mar 1,1642, and she may be the same who was buried there on May 22,1642 or 1643. However, that may refer to Mary (Hobart) Clarke, wife of a Rowland Clark (Rowland has been mentioned in the past as a possible brother of Joseph, but this is probably not the case, as Joseph's brother Rowland who died in 1638 had no known wife. Of note is that there is no widow Clarke mentioned in the Banham assessments of 1641.)

bullet General Notes:

Apparently the NEHGS article names Rowland's wife - but I don't have the evidence that her name was Hobart, and suspect it does not exist.

Mary married Thomas CLARKE, son of Rowland CLARKE and Margaret MICKLEWOOD, about 1592 in Bedfordshire, England. (Thomas CLARKE was born on 7 Mar 1567-7 Mar 1568 in Banham, Norfolk, England and was buried on 10 May 1638 in Banham, Norfolk, England.)
