• Samuel Clark, Sr., seems to have had a large family of children. Probably one removed to Hemstead L. I., where Rev. Richard Denton went in 1644. William, with probably a Joseph, remained for a time in Stamford; and Samuel, Jr., removed to '[New Haven where his father, Samuel, died at his house in 1690.
• We know nothing definite only of Samuel, Jr., and William Sr. Samuel, Clark, Jr., lived in New Haven, Ct. He married, November 7th, 1662, Hannah Tuttle, daughter of John Tuttle. He died Feb. 22d, 1729,— his wife died Dec. 21st, 1708. Their children were: 1st Samuel, 2d Daniel, 3d John, 4th Joseph, 5th Stephen, 6th Nathan, 7th Hannah, 8th Phineas, 9th Abigail, 10th Hester, 11th Timothy, 12th Mebitable. ______________________________
