=== Timeline ===
'''1661''' Land was laid out for Joseph Clark at Misquamacuck (later called Westerly). In a court record dated 21 July 1715, Joseph's son Samuel claimed that in 1661, the proprietors of Misquamacuck ordered the land to be laid out for his father, it being the seventh lot. On 26 September 1694 he deeded it to William Hiscox, who improved it for many years. When he died it went to his son Thomas Hiscox, who deeded it back to Joseph on 20 July 1715, and who in turn that same day deeded it to his son Samuel.[[#Fiske|Fiske]]: Item 46 [Notes: Joseph would not have reached his majority in 1661, although land could have been laid out without him taking possession immediately. This could really be refering to Joseph's father Joseph, but his father was not alive in 1715 to be deeded land by Thomas Hiscox.]
