[Pope] otsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=branagak&id=I7754d "Roxbury Church Records," p. 86]. There is no other record of James Clarke's wife Elizabeth. When he made his will in 1667, his wife was Richard Wright's daughter Elinor. James Clarke's first child was baptized in the Roxbury Church and was named Elizabeth; there is no recorded child by the name of Elinor. Many subsequent authors (including Savage) have concluded that the church record was in error and that the name "Elizabeth" should have read "Elinor." It is possible, however, that Elizabeth was Elinor's sister and the first wife of James. 4us-p/p1964.htm#i98199s?itemId=25793921-1-295&action=showRecord&indId=externalindividual-6b1089531c78debabc2c366a7a361d59&mrid=2052e00d70bf20c1958305040b631fc0 MyHeritage Family Trees] via daughter [http://www.geni.com/profile-44622051 Mercy Barstow (born Clark)] by [http://www.geni.com/projects/SmartCopy/18783 SmartCopy]: ''Jun 8 2015, 19:48:09 UTC''
