Notes about John Clarke

== Biography ==
Husband of Katherine (Cooke) Clarke — married October 12, 1567 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, England
John Clarke of Finningham and westhorpe, co. Suffolk, baptized 11 Feb. 1541/2, was buried at Finningham 7 or 8 Apr (7 according to Bible record; 8 according to transcrips of the Finningham registers.) 1598. He married at Westhorpe, 12 Oct. 1567, Katherine Cook, baptized at Westhorpe 12 Feb. 1540/1, buried at Finningham 30 Mar. 1598, daughter of John and Alice (Carter)
He was baptized 11 February 1541/1542 in Finningham, Suffolk, England.1541/2G. Andrews Moriarty, Jr. "Genealogical Research in England - Clarke-Cooke (alias Carewe)-Kerrich"; ''NEHGR,'' vol. 75 (1921):279John Osborne Austin, ''One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families,'' Self published, Providence, RI, 1893, pg. 63. He was buried 8 April 1598 in Finningham, Suffolk, England. [Or was his FATHER the one buried that date? See will below.]
Alternative death (needs checking): 1610-03-23 Blundeston, Suffolk, England
John Clarke inherited lands in Westhorpe, Finningham, and Gislingham, co. Suffolk, from his father in the will of the latter, dated 26 February 1558/9. He probably gave up some of the lands in Finningham and Gislingham to his brother, Thomas Clarke (see below). John Clarke was taxed 7s. 8d. in lands valued at £5 in Finningham in the subsidy of 1565/6, and was taxed 2s. 8d. in lands worth 20s. at Finningham and 13s. 8d. in lands worth £5 at Westhorpe in 1575/6. In both subsidies, his mother, Margaret Clarke, widow, was also taxed in lands in Westhorpe. John Clarke "the younger," a customary tenant of the manor of Finningham, is mentioned in a suit brought against Richard Mulliner by Nicholas Raynberd on 20 February 1587/8, as having surrendered lands of Thomas Cooke to the Lady of the Manor for the use of Raynberd on or about 1 September 1587. He may have been the John Clarke who, along with Christopher Clarke, was taxed 16d. in lands valued at £4 in Finningham in the subsidy of 1596/7, and who was taxed in a second subsidy that year 8d. in lands worth 40s. in Finningham. However, this may have been his son.
He appears to have resided in both parishes, and principally in Westhorpe after the death of his father-in-law, John Cook alias Carew of Westhorpe, which occurred after 1565/6 and probably before 1576. In the subsidy of 1565/6 he was taxed with his mother, Margaret, in Finningham.
He married in Westhorpe, Suffolk Co., EnglandJeffrey D. Bonevich, [http://www.bonevich.com/clarke Clarke Genealogy - Bonevich Website]
