Brief Life History
His name is on the Founders Monument.
"John Clark died Nov 22, 1712 mar Rebecca Maroon dau Matthew Maroon & Elizabeth (See Farm Rec.) Early member [First Church]. Moved to Farmington.... Prob. came in the 'Elizabeth' from Ipswich Co Suffolk Apr, 1634; was a soldier in the Pequot Wars; was one of the owners of that tract of land in [Hartford] known as the 'Soldiers Field'. An original proprietor, his home lot in 1639-40 was on the west side of the highway from Seth Grant's to Centinell Hill (now Trumbull St) near the present Allyn St. He probably removed from Hartford previously to 1655 for his name does not appear in the list of tax-payers in the millrates for the years 1655-6 or 7 which are preserved. His home is, however, found in the lists of 'the proprietors of undivided lands in Hartford, with such of then proportions in one division as followeth; according to which proportion they paid for the purchase of said lands in 1665-6-71 & 2. These divisions of the undivided lands were, however, made to now residents and even to the heirs of deceased proprietors.' Was juror at Hartford Sept 1641 and Oct 1642; deputy May 1649. Dr. Trumbull thinks that this John Clark is the one who was at Saybrook later but there is an inextricable confusion between the three John Clarks at Harford, Saybrook and Farmington. John Clark was directed by the General Court 'to carry on the building of the fort' with Capt. Mason. The will of John Clark of Saybrook is recorded at New Haven and is dated Feb 17, 1672 at the beginning and Jan 19, 1673 at the end. Inv. Feb 28, 1673." Families of Early Hartford, p. 178)
~
Joseph Clark is well documented in the research conducted for "Great Migration". He only had children Joseph and Mary. He did not have a son John. Joseph Clark was of Windsor. This John Clarke was of Plymouth, Mass. and died in Farmington. This is out of place--he is not the son of this Joseph Clark.
