PREFACE.

|l N publishing this pamphlet, the forerunner I trust of a T]|jl| larger and more complete work, I can only say to those t who may be disposed to criticize its errors and imper- fections, that until they attempt to collect the scattered records of a large family, they can form no true estimate of the difficulties which meet the genealogist.

The leisure of four years and a half has been devoted to the collection of these records, many letters have been written, towns visited, whole days given to the examination of docu- ments in the Registries of Deeds and Probate, and more than two hundred dollars in money expended. To my kinsmen. Rev. John Clark of West Plymouth, Enoch Henry Clark of Greenland, and Amos S. Clark of Sandown, all in New Hampshire, I extend my thanks for the valuable material which they have furnished me. Through my interest in this work I have become acquainted with many descendants of Nathaniel Clarke of Newbury, and with very few excep- tions have found them respectable, intelligent, and ready to give me all the assistance in their power. If any of the few, who through indifference have declined to furnish me with names, dates, and facts with which they could not fail to be familiar, but which I could obtain only with great difficulty.

4 PREFACE.

are dissatisfied because of the incompleteness of the record of their immediate families, they have themselves to thank.

All the genealogical matter of a material nature previous to the year 1800, has been proven and authenticated by examination of the original records and documents, and this practice has been continued to the present time whenever it could conveniently be done. Some recent dates sent me by persons, either relative to themselves or to near kin, are at variance with the records, and in these cases the latter have invariably been followed. It is a matter of regret that more biographical matter has not been furnished, especially by those in distant States, but it is hoped that much more will be collected for future publication, as in some cases this work will contain the only printed record of the lives of useful and good men.

All additions and corrections will be gladly received, and are solicited. They may be addressed

HIS DESCENDANTS.

PART I.

HE town of Newbury was settled in 1633 by emigrants who came from England in the ship Hector. " Some principal inhabitants of Ipswich obtaining leave of General Court to remove to Inascacunquen began a town at that place, and called it Newbury, and Mr. Parker a learned minister who had been in the ministry with Mr. Ward at Ipswich accompanied them." (Holmes's Annals of America.) In the Winthrop Memorials it is said: " Mr. Parker and the people with whom he now removed came from Wiltshire, England." There is very strong evidence that Nathaniel Clarke was nearly related to those at Ipswich, but some of the earliest records of that town are lost, and the author has been unable to ascertain anything definite of him previous to his marriage in 1663.

From 1665-69 Newbury was divided by a bitter con- troversy between the friends of Rev. Mr. Parker, and

6 NATHANIEL CLARKE

those of Mr. Edward Woodman, a man of talents and ability. Mr. Woodman affirmed that " Mr. Parker would set up a Prelacy, and have more power than the Pope, for the Pope had his council of Cardinals."

Anthony Somerby, Nathaniel Clarke, and many other prominent men, were of Mr. Parker's party.

Sept. 1664, he bought seven acres of land of John Wollcott for £,\ 5s., and 29 Apr. 1668, was admitted Freeman.

In 1670 Nathaniel was chosen "to lay out y*" high way to y'' Ferry place in Amesbury " in company with William Chandler, and the trace of the old road as laid out by them over Bailey's Hill is still visible.

5 Jan. 1680, Nathaniel and several others, "each proposed for a place to make a wharfe."

I Mar. The town granted him a parcel of the flats on the southeast of the points "of rocks that was o-ranted to Captain White, provided it be done within three years."

14 Mar. 1682, Sergeant Nathaniel Clark was ap- pointed by the Selectmen "to warne Evan Morris out of the towne of Newbury."

In 1683 Nathaniel was one of the committee to divide the estate of G. Carr, and the same year William Morse of Newbury appointed "his loving friends Capt. Daniel Peirce, Tristram Coffin, and Nathaniel Clarke " over- seers of his will.

7 May, 1684, he was appointed naval officer for the ports of New^bur)^ and Salisbury by the General Court, and 4 June, 1685, Ensign of Capt. Daniel Peirce's Com- pany at Rowley, vice Archelaus Woodman discharged.

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 7

1685 ^1^^ estate of John Hutchins was indebted to "Mr. Nathaniel Clarke of Nubery."

Gov. Sir Edmund Andros was petitioned to appoint Nathaniel Clarke " captain of the Second Company of Foot raised for defence."

1685, Nathaniel Clarke, cordwainer, of Newbury, bought land in Amesbury of Thomas Putnam for /18. The town granted to Nathaniel a strip of flats three rods broad for a wharf, and in December 1686, he had another grant of sixteen feet eight inches "on the divisions of the bank of the Merrimack river."

He was one of the committee, which was composed of the leading men of the town, to arrange the division of a laro-e tract of common land, afterwards known as the " Rate lots," among the freeholders, and agreeably to the report, forty-five acres were apportioned to him and his eldest son.

There is at Salem an Indenture, made 26 March 1686, between "Robert Downer of Salisbury, Massa- chusetts, Colony of New England, House Carpenter," and " Nathaniel Clark of town of Newbury in County and Colony aforesaid, cordwainer, for 10 / silver money Bradbury marsh in Salisbury, mortgage to secure payment of said money discharged in manner following 28 Feb. 1687.

" Received money in full.

(Signed) " Nathaniel Clarke."

He is called Ensign in the Newbury records, and was usually entitled " Hon*"- " when mentioned by his co- temporaries. He died 25 August 1690. Judge Sewall mentions his death in the Diary recently published, and

8 NATHANIEL CLARKE

Mr. Joshua Coffin said he knew Nathaniel was born in 1644 from an affidavit found among the Salem records. His original Will is in the Clerk's office, and few of his descendants write a better hand than he did, if we may judge by his signature.

12 NATHAiVIEL CLARKE

At a court held at Ipswich, September 30, 1690. This inventory was presented by the executors unto the last will and testament of Mr. Nathaniel Clark, of Newbury, deceased, for a true inventory of all his known estate, with their oaths for the truth of all that at present appears, as also, if more appear, to add the same and to give account thereof to the court in convenient time.

As attests : Tho^ Wade, Clerk.

He m. 23 Nov. 1663, Elizabeth, b. 1 Nov. 1646. daughter of Henry and Judith Somerby.'^^ Henry was the third son of Richard Somerby of Little Bytham in Lincolnshire, where his family had been eminently respectable for many generations. The mother of Mrs. Clarke was the daughter of Edmund Greenleaf, who was of Huguenot origin, and one of the earliest and most prominent settlers of Newbury, having come there from Brixham, Devonshire, England, as early as 1635. It has been stated that he came from near Torbay, and that may be correct. Greenleaf was a translation of Feuillevert, the original French name of the family.

i. Nathaniel b. 5 Dec. 1664, d. 6 June, 1665.

2 ii. Nathaniel b. 13 Mar. 1666, d. Oct. 1690.

iii. Thomas b. 9 Feb. 1668, d. 25 Apr. 1722.

iv. John b. 24 June, 1670, d. 25 July, 1705.

V. Henry b. 5 July, 1673, d. 9 June, 1749.

vi. Daniel b. 16 Dec. 1675, S. P.f

* The late Mr. Joshua Cofifin, historian of Newbury, in an interesting letter to the late Hon. William C. Clarke of Manchester. N. H., states that Nathaniel Clarke and Elizabeth Somerby were married in the house occu- pied by himself at the time of writing, and by Tristram Coffin, step father of the bride, in 1663.

f S. P. is the common abbreviation of "sine prole," meaning with- out issue.

viii. Josiah b. 7 May, 1682, d. 29 Apr. 1717.

b ix. Elizabeth b. 15 May, 1684.

X. Judith b. Jan. 1687.

xi. Mary b. 25 Mar. 1689.

Daniel Clarke was baptized by Rev. Christopher Toppan on the Sunday following, 19 Dec. 1675, and was the second child baptized by him. Sarah was bap- tized by the same minister 24 Feb. 1678, and Elizabeth 18 May, 1684.

a Sarah m. 9 June, 1697, Nicholas Oilman of Exeter, N. H., who was Judge of the Common Pleas and of the Superior Court of N. H., and was a very wealthy man. His father was John, son of Edward and Mary Clark Oilman of Hingham, who came there in 1638 in ship "Diligent" from Eng. Edward Oilman, the emigrant, was the second son of Robert, b. 1559, d. 161 8, who was himself the second son of Edward Oilman of Caston, who d. 1573, and Rose Rysse m. 22 June, 1550, d. 3 Oct. 161 3.

Nicholas and Sarah Oilman had seven sons and three daus.

b Elizabeth m. Dr. Robert Hale of Beverley. She m. 2i?ti 29 Dec. 1720, John Oilman, brother of Nicholas, and had three sons and one daughter.

'o^

Mrs. Clarke m. 8 Aug. 1698, the Rev. John Hale of Beverly, the same who had been chaplain in the expe- dition against Canada, and was admitted to the church at Beverly 17 Sept. 1699, by recommendation of the church at Newbury. Mr. Hale d. 15 May, 1700, aet. 64.

After his death the widow resided with her son, the Rev. John Clarke, at Exeter, and d. there. The slab above her grave bears the following inscription :

" Mrs. Elizabeth Hale Relict of yv' Reverend Mr. John Hale Late Pastor of y? church in Beverley and

14 NATHANIEL CLARKE

sometime wife to Nathaniel Clark Esq. Late of New- bury Dec'J , who died March y^ 15 1716 aged 71 y-^"

From documents at Salem it is evident that she was better educated than most women of her day.

2 Nathaniel of Newbury m. 15 Dec. 1685, Elizabeth, b. 16 Oct. 1665, dau. of Dr. Peter and Jane Toppan, and sister of Rev, Christopher Toppan, D. D. Her father was sixth in descent from Robert of Linton, near Pately Bridge, in the West Riding of York, where they continue to the present day among the most respectable families of that county.

In 1686 the town granted to Nathaniel Clark, Jr., one acre of marsh from Henry Somerby's grant.

Nathaniel went with the expedition to Canada in 1690, and was mortally wounded there on board the ship ' Six Friends ' in October of the same year. The following are from the Probate office records at Salem :

ffriends I perceiving him like to dye did among" other dis- courses aske him if he had made his will. He told me he had made a will befor he came forth but was not well satisfyed in it and desired to make another iff any one could be found to write it. The respect I had to his relatives himselfe and his present case moved me to write his will and testament w'^y was signed and sealed by himselfe in presence of y? two surgeons and one \crased\ Of the contents I remember this that he gave his whole estate to his wife to use so long as she remained his widdow and that if shee married again shee should have her third or right of dowry in the estate or else three score pounds which shee pleased and y? reste of his estate to be putt into y? hands of his executors to bring up his childe, or children with (for he signifyed y*. for ought he knew he left his wife with childe and if so that childe should have a portion if safely come of her) and if his executors should have y? care of bringing up his childe or children with y? said estate and when He or they should be of age y"? remaining estate to be given wholy to the surviving childe if one, or if two, y! eldest to have a double portion with other circumstances needless to be named seeing there is but one childe, and if I mistake not was added yt if no childe lived to age of maturity then y? remaining estate to go to his childe's heirs and he constituted his father Nathaniel Clark and Henry Somerby of Newbury his kinsman (as he said) to be his executors affter his will was finished and left with me he dyed that day presently as I understood it. This Testament I brought with me to N Eng'l and sent word to his relations at Newbury and shortly after Mr Peter Toppan and his wife came to my house and desired to receive y? will w9'' I delivered to them and putt it into his hand (to y? best of my remembrance) but am sure y*. between they had it from me and I delivered it that it might be consined and published ac- cording to y? desire of y!

By a deed made 4 Feb. 17 15-16, he sold to his uncles Thomas and Henry, for. ^i i, all the interest which he, as " eldest son and heare " of his father Nathaniel deceased, had in the estate of his grand- father Nathaniel.

II Mar. 1 7 16, a conveyance was made to Nathaniel for ^30, in which are these lines : "I James Wise and Elizabeth Clarke, alias Elizabeth Wise my now wife," the dwelling house, barn and shop in estate of Nathaniel Clark, " y" former Husband of y^ s*^ Elizabeth, and ffather of s*^ Nathaniel Clark."

14 Mar. 1718-19, he sold five acres of upland in Newbui-y to James Smith for ^25 wife Sarah.

19 Jan. 1720-21, he sold to James Wise, for ^200, "the Mansion, Dwelling House, Together with y^ land adjoining that I bought of John Rolf of Newbury afores"? by one Certaine Deed Executed according to Law Y- first Day of May Seventeen Hundred and Ten except what was sold to Mr Christopher Top- pan." The wife did not release dower.

3 March, 1726-27, David Woodman, Cooper, and Nathaniel Clark, cordwainer, sold Stephen Chase certain land for £^^. Woodman's wife signed her release, but Clark's did not.

6 Jan. 1727-28, he conveyed to David Woodman six acres " in Crane meadow in Township of Brad- ford" for /:i5.

1 8 NATHANIEL CLARKE

15 Oct. 1739. he sold Benjamin Pearson one half acre for £6, and i July, 1749, he sold him four acres in Bradford on Beaver brook for £60. No wife signed.

Seven townships were given by the General Court " to officers and soldiers who were in the Narragansett war, or to their lawful representatives." Narragansett No. I. is now Buxton, Me., and John Hobson, Samuel Chase, James Chute, and Philemon Dane laid out the first division, twenty-three lots, 17 Nov. 1735. In "a Raing of lots by letter A," Nathaniel drew on right of " Daniel Sumersby " lot No. 3, and in " a Raing of lots by letter C," he drew on the right of Jonathan Clarke lot No. 21. There was a Jonathan Clarke in Newbury in early times, and he may have been a brother of the first Nathaniel, and the one on whose right this Nathaniel drew No. 21.

It does not appear what became of these lots, and it seems certain that none of Nathaniel's immediate de- scendants settled on them. It may cause surprise that sometimes the final e appears in the name of Clark, and sometimes it does not. This is not an inconsis- tency of the author, but of his ancestors. It has occurred in different signatures of the same man. The weight of authority is in favor of Clarke.

Nathaniel died intestate and insolvent, and his son Ebenezer was his administrator.

M. 7 Mar. 1709, intention published 22 Feb. 1709. Sarah b. 3 Nov. 1692, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Kent Greenleaf, and great grand-daughter of Capt. Ed- mund Greenleaf Sarah Kent was daughter of John and Mary and grand-daughter of James Kent, who, with his brother Richard, owned Kent's Island, and much land in Oldtown, and were men of great local importance. Their father was Richard.

44 NATHANIEL CLARKE

Charles H. Bell of Exeter, N. H. The succeeding year he taught an academy in Danvers, Mass., and, in the summer of 1840, he went to Meredith Bridge (now Laconia), N. H., where he resided four months with his brother, William C. Clarke, studying medicine with the late Dr. Josiah Crosby of Manchester, N. H., then at Meredith Bridge. Thence he went to Dartmouth Medical College, receiving his degree in November, 1842. While at Hanover he was member of a private class, under the instruction of Prof. Dixi Crosby, Prof. Edmund R. Peaslee, and Prof. Oliver P. Hubbard. As a student, Dr. Clarke was not very fond of books, but had a practical mind and retentive memory, which enabled him to turn to account whatever he saw done or heard described. Yet he was a faithful, dilieent student, and a great favorite with all his instructors.

Soon after graduation he began the practice of his profession at Derry, N. H,, where he remained until the fall of 1844, when he removed to Wethersfield, Conn., where he took the practice of the late Dr. Archibald Welch. He moved, early in 1845, to Cambridge, Mass., settling in Ward Three (East Cambridge), where he spent the remainder of his life. For many years he had been a sufferer from pulmonary disease, but the resolute courage with which he persevered in a large and increasing practice rendered the extent of his disease unsuspected. He continued in the active •exercise of his profession until January previous to his decease, when the loss of both voice and strength made it necessary that he should relinquish it. He died on the morning of Sunday, March 27, 1864,

While in Derry, Dr. Clarke made the acquaintance of Miss Laura Woolsey Dwight, who had been, since 1 84 1, principal of the Adams Female Seminary, and

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 45

their marriage followed at Northampton, Mass., Sept. 9,

1844. Miss Dwight, b. June 5, 18 17, was the daughter of Col. Cecil Dwight and Mary Clap, of Northampton, and of the seventh o-eneration in direct descent from John Dwight, who came from Dedham, England, in 1634-5, to Dedham, Mass.; her lineage included the Dwights, Edwardses, Hookers, and Woolseys, who have connected their names inseparably with the religious history of Massachusetts and Connecticut and with the growth of Yale College. She was long a sufferer from consumption, and died in Cambridge, Jan. 16, 1858. Their children were :

i. William Cogswell b. Aug. 16, 1845, d. Aug. 12, 1847.

ii. Laura Dwight b. Nov. 10, 1847, d. July i, 1853.

57 iii. Maurice Dwight b. Nov. 2, 185 1.

58 iv. Charles Cecil b. Apr. 15, 1854.

Dr. Clarke married, for his second wife, Sept. 28, 1859, Miss Frances Lucy Elizabeth Hastings of Brook- lyn, N. Y. She was a native of Worcester, Mass., and for a time a teacher. Her constitution was enfeebled when she married, and her death, Dec. 19, 1859, from hemorrhage, was not unexpected. February 17, 1864, Dr. Clarke married her sister, Mrs. Mary Watson Clark, widow of Lysander C. Clark of Worcester, Mass., who still survives. The two latter marriages were without issue.

He was admitted to the Massachusetts Medical Society in

1845, and was one of its councilors in 1854. He was one of the most active members of the Middlesex South District Medical Society from its organization in 185 i, and was one of its censors from 1857 to 1863, and twice represented it at the meetings of the American Medical Association. He was the

46 NATHANIEL CLARKE

city physician of Cambridge from 185 1 until his death. From 1848 to 1862, excepting the years 1855, i860, and 1861, he was a member of the School Committee of Cambridge, and for many years was the Secretary of the Board. From 1861 until the time of his death, he was one of the vice-presidents of the East Cambridge Five Cents Savings Bank.

He was Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Evan- gelical Congregational Society of East Cambridge from 1852 until his death, and, in connection with his work as city physician, he devoted a part of every Sunday to the religious instruction of the inmates of the almshouse, — a practice which he continued after the condition of his throat rendered speaking laborious and exhaustive.

To Dr. Clarke's nobility as a man and skill as a physician, his associates in public and private life bear ample witness. Resolutions passed by the Board of Overseers of the Poor of Cambridge speak in the highest terms of his fidelity in the discharge of his duties as city physician ; and his fellows of the Middlesex Medical Society paid a warm tribute to his memory. He devoted a great deal of time to the schools, and was unceasing in his efforts to get good teachers, in detecting whom he had a rare faculty.

57 Maurice Dwight b. in Cambridge, Mass., Nov, 2, 1 85 1. He obtained his earlier education in the public schools of his native city, and was graduated from Amherst College, with honors in classics, in 1871, After teaching school in Walpole, Mass., for six months, he went to Manchester, N. H., where from 1872 to 1876, he was a journalist on the staff of the Mirroj^ and Ainerican. While there he wrote a history of Manchester, published in 1875. In the fall of 1878, he entered the Medical School of Harvard University, and obtained from it in 1882 the degree of M. D. Since 1 88 1, he has been one of the House Physicians of

He went to China imme- diately after graduation, in the employ of the Chinese Government, as an assistant in the Customs Service, and has been stationed at the ports of Shanghai, Hankow, Wahu, and Tientsin.

59 John Badger of Manchester, N. H. The follow- ing is quoted from a sketch by one of the veteran journalists of the State. ^

John Badger Clarke was born at Atkinson, January 30, 1820, and was the junior of six chiklren — five sons and one daughter — of Greenleaf and Julia (Cogswell) Clarke. Julia Cogswell, the mother of Mr. Clarke, was a woman of great intellectual powers, a fine scholar, and was preceptress of Atkinson Academy.

The Badger family, connected with the Clarkes and Cogs- wells, are descendants of Giles Badger, who settled at New- bury, Mass., in 1643. Gen. Joseph Badger, b. at Haverhill Mass., Jan. 11, 1722, and who d. Apr. 4, 1803, was active in the Revolution, a member of the Provincial Congress, and of the Convention which adopted the Constitution. After removing to Gilmanton, N. H., he held many town offices, was made a Brigadier General, was a member of the State Council, and was a stanch supporter of the institutions of learning and religion.

48 NATHANIEL CLARKE

Hon. William Badger, b. in Gilmanton, Jan. 13, 1779, was a Representative, Senator, President of the Senate, and Gover- nor of the State in 1834 and 1835. He was also an Elector of President and Vice President of the United States in 1824, 1836, and 1844 ; was an Associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas from 18 16 to 182 1, and for ten years High Sheriff of the County.

Hon. Joseph Badger, Jr., son of the general, was b. in Brad- ford, Mass., Oct. 23, 1746 ; was distinguished as a military officer for thirty years, passing from Captain to Brigadier General. He served in the Revolutionary war, and was present at the capture of Burgoyne. He d. at Gilmanton, Jan. 15, 1809, aged sixty-two. His wife was a daughter of Rev. William Parsons, and their marriage was the first one recorded in Gilmanton.

The marriage of John B. Clarke with Susan Greeley Moul- ton of Gilmanton, a descendant of John Moulton, who came to Hampton in 1638, more firmly united the mentioned old families, adding the Thurstons, Gilmans, Lampreys, Towles, Beans, Philbricks, and others ; while Moses Clarke, by marry- ing a direct descendant of John Dwight, who came from England in 1634, and settled in Dedham, Mass., 1636, became connected with a family which furnished a commandant at Fort Dummer, during the Indian war, and whose youngest son, Timothy C. Dwight, born at the fort, was the first white child born in Vermont.

Mr. Clarke passed the years of boyhood upon the farm of his father. Studying at Atkinson Academy, he was prepared to enter Dartmouth College at the age of nineteen years, from which he graduated with high honors in the Class of 1843, being only outranked in scholarship by the late Prof. J. N. Putnam.

After leaving college, Mr. Clarke was for three years Prin- cipal of the Academy at Gilford (now Laconia). While thus engaged, he commenced the study of law in the office of Stephen C. Lyford, Esq., and continued his studies in Man- chester with his brother, William C. Clarke, until admitted to the bar of Hillsborough County in 1848. Feb. 2, 1849, ^^

started for California via the Isthmus of Panama, where he was detained eleven weeks, and bought for the Manchester party of forty-three with him, in company with a gentleman of Maine with twenty men, the brig Copiapo, in which they left the isthmus for California with one hundred and fifty-eight passengers, Mr. Clarke being supercargo. He remained in California a little more than a year, practicing law and working in the mines. He then spent about four months in Central America, returning home in Feb. 185 1. jHe went to Salem, Mass., with the intention of establishing a law office there, but returned to Manchester and opened an office, applying himself to the practice of his profession with success, until Feb. 1852, when, at the request of Mr. Joseph C. Emerson, he took charge of the editorial department of the Daily Mirror. Mr. Emerson becoming financially embarrassed, the property was sold at auction on the 20th of October, 1852, Mr. Clarke being the purchaser of the Daily and Weekly Mirror, and of the job printing establishment connected therewith, of which he has ever been since the sole owner and manager. Subse- quently he purchased the Daily and Weekly American (in which the Weekly Democrat had been previously merged), and the New Hampshire yoiirnal of Agriculture. These were all combined with the Mirror, and the name of the daily changed X.Q Mirror and Ameiican, and the weekly from Dollar Weekly Mirror to Mirror and Farmer. Since these additions to the Mirror, Mr. Clarke has found it needful to enlarge both the daily and weekly papers twice.

He in the outset aspired to make the Mirror one of the leading newspapers of the country, cost what it might ; and his adroitness, energy, persistency, and straight-forward devo- tion to that idea has enabled him to realize his aspirations. When Mr. Clarke took possession of the Mirror, the weekly paper had but a few hundred subscribers, while it now has a larger circulation than any other paper of its class published in New England out of Boston. Previous to the war the Mirror had been non-partisan politically ; but Mr. Clarke decided that there should be no neutrals in time of war, and his paper came out boldly on the side of the Adminstration,

50 MATH Am EL CLARKE

and has ever since advocated the principles of the Repub- lican party.

In connection with his daily and weekly newspapers, Mr. Clarke has built up a very extensive book and job printing business, and to this has added a bookbinding" establishment. He has published many valuable works of his own and others ; among his publications will be found " The London- derry Celebration," "Sanborn's History of New Hampshire," "Clarke's Manchester Almanac and Directory," "Clarke's History of Manchester," and several smaller works. He is now preparing a work entitled " Successful New Hampshire Men."

Mr. Clarke has always refused to be a candidate for office, because he believed that office-holding would interfere with his influence as a public journalist, but was a delegate to the Baltimore Convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the second time to the Presidency, and was one of the National Committee of Seven (including ex-Governor William Clafiin of Massachusetts, ex-Governor Marcus L. Ward of New Jersey, and Hon. Henry T. Raymond of the Neiv York Times), who managed that campaign. He has been con- nected with the College of Agriculture ; a Trustee of the Merrimack River Savings Bank since its organization in 1858 ; a Master for three years of the Amoskeag Grange No. 3 ; for two years Lieutenant Colonel of the Amoskeag Veterans, and was twice elected Commander, but declined that honor. Six times he has been elected State Printer ; in 1867, 1868, 1869, 1877, 1878, and in 1879 ^o^ two years.

Mr. Clarke has always manifested a great interest in the subject of elocution, probably having learned how faulty many students were as orators during his senior year in college, when he was President of the Social Friends Society, and in 1863, after he was elected President of the Tri Kappa Society. For two years he gave to the Manchester High School forty dollars a year for prizes in public speaking and reading. He then offered (in 1874) one hundred dollars a year for five years to Dartmouth College for the same object. In Oct. 1879, Mr. Clarke proposed to give forty dollars a year for five years for

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. . 51

superiority in elocution in the High and Grammar Schools of Manchester. In Feb. 1882, Mr. Clarke offered to add to his original forty dollars twenty dollars a year for the next two years. The result of this generous offer has been a great interest and improvement in reading and speaking in the public schools of Manchester, and it is probable that there will be a permanent fund of not less than, fifteen hundred dollars accruing from the exhibitions at the end of the five years, insuring a perpetual income for the Clarke prizes.

Mr. Clarke has always been interested in farming, and has done much with voice and pen to bring about an improvement in the breeds of horses and other stock in the State. His admiration for good horses (of which he is never without several in his stable), and his fondness for hunting, are so much a part of his life that any sketch of him without allusion to them would be incomplete. He has served as President of the New Hampshire Game and Fish League from the first, and was the prime mover in its organization.

In 1872, being obliged by the advice of physicians to abstain from all business for several months, he visited Great Britain, France, and Germany, to regain the health too close attention to business had temporarily destroyed.

He has always been a liberal supporter of the Franklin Street Congregational Church, Manchester, a constant attend- ant upon its worship, and has been elected to various offices in that society. He m. July 29, 1852, Susan Greeley Moulton of Gilmanton. They have two sons : —

HIS DESCENDANTS.

PART III.

;EV. JOHN CLARKE, of Exeter, N. H., was the fourth son of Nathaniel. [See p. 12.] He graduated at Harvard College in 1690, among his classmates being Paul Dudley, afterwards Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Province, Peter Burr, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the Con- necticut Colony, Benjamin Wadsworth, President of Harvard College, and the Rev. Samuel Mather. The following is from the Newbury Records : —

May 12, 1693. "Towne voted that Mr. John Clark be called to assist Mr. Richardson in the work of the ministry at the West and of the towne to preach to them one year in order to farther settlement and also to keep a grammar school."

5 July, 1693. *'The towne in theyr votes for the choyce of a minister for the West end of the towne in order to a full settlement in the work of the ministry

NATHANTEL CLARKE. 6i

and Mr. John Clarke was the chosen and not one vote ao-ainst him."

lo Oct. 1693, Capt. John Gilman, Capt. Peter Coffin, and Capt. Robert Wadleigh were empowered to agree with Mr. Clarke to come to Exeter, and to fix his salary for the first half year.

In Feb. 1694, Mr. Clark received a call at Newbury, which he declined. A salary of " twenty pounds in money and fifty pounds in graine was voted to y^ reverend Mr John Clark so long as he carry on the work of the ministry."

In January, 1695, the people of Exeter voted to build a new meeting house.

In the Hampton Church Records is the following entry : —

" 1698 Sept. II, Dismissed, in order to their being incor- porated into a church state, in Exter. Mr Moses Leavitt, Mr Henry Wadley, Jno Scribner, .Mrs Elizabeth Clark, Mrs EHzabeth Gilman, wife of Cap. Gilman, Mrs Tipping, Mrs Deborah Coffin, Goodwife Bean, Mrs Mary Gihiian, Mrs EHzabeth Wadley, Mrs Sarah Dudley, Sarah Sewal, Deborah Sinclar. And Mr Wear and Cap Dow were chosen, messengers of the church, to assist in the ordination of Mr. Jno. Clark, at Exeter."

Most of the above lived in Exeter, and constituted nearly half of those who entered into a " Church state" at that place.

The most ancient volume extant of the records of the present " First Church of Christ in Exeter" commences thus: "The order of proceeding in gathering a par- ticular church in Exeter. After conferring together, and being mutually satisfied in each other, we drew up a confession of faith, and the terms of the covenant, which we all signed, the Sabbath before ordination.

62 NATHANIEL CLARKE

And having sent for the Rev. Mr. J. Hale, (who preached the ordination sermon), Mr. Woodbridge, Mr. Pike, Mr. Rolfe, Mr. Cotton and Mr. Toppan, who accordingly came ; and on the twenty-first of Septem- ber, 1698, Mr. Hale, Woodbridge, Pike and Cotton, laid on hands, Mr. Pike praying before the imposition of hands ; Mr. Woodbridge gave the charge ; Mr. Cotton gave the right hand of fellowship ; and we were, by the elders, and messengers of the several churches, owned as a church of Christ, and John Clark declared to be a minister of Christ Jesus." Mr. Clarke was to have ^60 the first half year with use of the parsonage lot, and a certain meadow ; ^10 was afterwards added for firewood and for fencing the land.

The people also agreed to furnish a parsonage, which Mr. Clarke released them from for ;^ 100.

He was a man of high character and ability, and although he died at the early age of thirty-five was prominent among the preachers of New England. Pike's Journal, noticing his death, speaks of him as a "good man, much wanted and much lamented."

The town voted to pay his widow the full amount of his salary, and to erect a tomb, which twenty years later they repaired.

The following lines are on his tombstone at Exeter ;

" A prophet lies under this stone,

His words shall live though he be gone,

When Preachers die what rules the Pulpit gave

Of Living are still preached from the grave,

The Faith and life which your dead Pastor taught,

Now in one grave with him Sirs bury not."

The Rev. Richard Brown, who was b. at Newbury in 1675, referring in his diary to those who fitted him for

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 63

colleg-e, says : " Then came Mr John Clark of Exeter, a worthy man under w™ I studied one year." The author of the History of New Hampshire Churches, speaking of him, says : " His family connections were highly respectable." " He died in the strength of manhood." His name appears in connection with the ordination of the Rev. John Emerson at Newcastle, N. H., in 1704. He owned considerable land at Charlestown, Mass., and had other property.

Mr. Clarke m. 19 June, 1694, Elizabeth Woodbridge, b. at Windsor, Conn., 30 Apr. 1673, dau. of Rev. Benjamin and Mary. Her father was the son of Rev. John of Newbury and Mercy, dau. of Gov. Thomas Dudley. Her mother was dau. of Rev. John Ward of Haverhill, whose wife was Alice, dau. of Nicholas Edmunds of Alkham, Kent, and whose father was the Rev. Nathaniel b. at Haverhill, Eng. 1570; came to N. England from Standon in 1634, and was first minis- ter at Ipswich; in 1645 1"^^ returned to England and was settled at Shenfield, where he d. 1653. His father was another Rev. John Ward. Mrs. Clarke's great uncle, Rev. Benjamin Woodbridge, was an eminent and learned man, who was A.M. in 1648, and S.T.D. later, at Oxford, England, and his name heads the first Class (1642) of Harvard College in New Eng- land, which fact would show the prominence of his father's family at that time.

The sermon preached at Rev. John Clarke's marriage was in the possession of the late Joshua Green, M. D. Its title is "A Meet Help, or a wedding sermon, preached at New Castle, in New England, June 19, 1694, At the Marriage of Mr. John Clark and Mrs. Elizabeth Woodbridge. By Mr. John Cotton, Pastor of

Mrs. Clarke m. 2nd 21 Oct. 1709, Rev, John Odlin of Exeter, and had four sons. Mr. Odlin was the suc- cessor of Rev. John Clarke in the ministry at Exeter.

Kingston, N. H., 29 Sept. 1725. The church was gathered 17 Sept. 1725, with eighty-one famihes in the parish. The Hst of heads of famihes begins with the " Squire's" name, and the names of mihtary officers follow his. Amone the names is that of Ebenezer Webster, ancestor of Daniel Webster. The church records give " a list of communicants at the first gather- ing of the church at Kingston at the Fast before the ordination of the Rev. Mr. Ward Clark." These were twenty-three in number, twelve males and eleven females. The author of the " History of the New Hampshire Churches," from which the preceding is taken, says, " Mr. Clark was evidently a man of much business tact, and a very influential and active man in the affairs of the town and church. His policy was to encourao-e additions to the church, and durinof the first year of his ministry, it was voted that ' members be admitted without being obliged to make relations.' For several years the additions to his original salary of £^0, amounted to ^20, and he had liberal grants of land."

He took the oath of allegiance to George II. in 1727. In 1727 Mr. Clark was a proprietor of Gilman- ton, and in 1728 a tax payer at Newcastle, N. H. (Provincial Papers, N. H., Vol. IV.) Rev. Jacob Chap- man of Kingston, says of him, " He had a strong Calvinistic creed, but was liberal in the use of it. An able and useful man."

In 1735 Kingston was ravaged by a terrible disease which carried off nearly all the young children. Thirteen died in June, twenty in July, and twenty-six in August.

"This mortality was by a Kanker Quinsey which mostly seized upon young people, and has proven

66 NATHANIEL CLARKE

exceeding mortal in several other towns. It is supposed there never was the like before in this country."

Mr. Clark d. after a long illness at Exeter, aged thirty-four. He left bequests for the support of the gospel, and for the poor, and mentions in his Will nephew William, son of deceased brother Benjamin, sisters Deborah,'-^ wife of Dr. Thomas Deane, and Jane of Newcastle, wife of his brother Benjamin. Cousin Jane Deane and Sarah, Abigail and Elizabeth Peirce. Appoints Capt. Thomas Deane and sister Jane Clark, executors. Rev. Ward Clark was one of " Prince's subscribers."

He m. 20 Nov. 1727, Mary, b. 13 Sept. 1702, d. 27 July, 1735, daughter of Charles, Jr. and Sarah Frost of Kittery, Me. Her father was son of Major Charles Frost of Kittery, who was killed by the Indians 17 Dec. 1724, and whose younger brother, Hon. John Frost, was a very prominent man and m. Mary, sister of Sir William Pepperrell. Major Frost's father was Nicholas, b. at Tiverton, Eng. 1595, and settled at Sturgeon Creek in Eliot, Me., 1636. He d. 1663.

Mrs. Clark's mother was daughter of Simeon Wain- wright of Haverhill, Mass. Rev. Ward Clark's children were : —

ii. Tyler b. d. young. .S. P.

iii. Infant b. d. 27 July, 1735.

" The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. John Odhn of Exeter, step-father of the candidate. The text was from I Timothy, 6: 11, 12. The subject was 'Christian courage necessary for a Gospel Minister.' It was afterwards printed at Boston, and ' Prefaced by two of the Reverend Presbyters who assisted at the Ordination.' The two members of the Council referred to, were Rev. Caleb Cushing of Salisbury, Mass., and Rev. Nathaniel Gookin of Hampton. In this preface it is observed that the sermon was preached ' not by the young gentleman who was then ordained, but by one of his fathers in the ministry.' Mr. Clark was an active, public- spirited man, beloved as a pastor by his parishioners, and much attached to the people of his charge. Some of the noble elms that beautify the spacious green here are said to have been planted by his hand.

During his ministry the town erected in 1732 its second meeting house. A tower, one hundred feet in height, was built for it some years later, and a bell is said to have been presented by the King of England, of which tradition avers it came no further than Boston, from which place an inferior one was sent here as a substitute. The first meeting-house stood for many years after the erection of the new one, and was used for holding town meetings as late as 1764. The bell was used not only during Mr. Clark's ministry, but that of his successor. In 1768, the town voted 'to buy a larger bell for the meeting-house.'

In June, 1735, a terrible disease called ' the throat distemper,' first made its appearance in Kingston. Of the first forty seized with it not one recovered, and in about fourteen months one hundred and thirteen died, ninety-six of whom were under ten years of age ; this included neaj-ly all the young children in the town. The wife of Rev. Ward Clark and his two children were among the victims of this scourge. Prof. Wil- liam Franklin Webster once told me, that when he was in Germany, he found in a German medical work the statement that the first recorded instance of the appearance of this specific disease in the whole world, was in this town.

68

NATHANIEL CLARKE.

In his Will he left a bequest, the same being a considerable portion of his estate, 'to the beloved people of his charge,' the income of which was to be applied to the support of the gospel. After the number of churches increased, a law-suit was entered upon, and the Court decided that the legacy of the first minister, Rev. Ward Clark, left ' to the beloved people of his charge,' belonged to the whole town. Since then the income of the whole parsonage property has been divided among the different denominations, according to the will expressed, annually, by the several tax- payers. During Mr. Clark's pastorate one hundred and thirty persons were received to the church, and four hundred and seventy-one baptized."

PART IV.

ENRY CLARKE, the fifth son of Nathaniel, of Newbury, Mass,,"^ removed to Greenland, N. H., about 1727, and d. there in 1749.

His second wife, a widow Perley, lived to be about one hundred and four years of age. Most of Col. Joseph's descendants may be found in the neighborhood of Montpelier.

JOSIAH CLARKE

AND

HIS DESCENDANTS.

PART V.

OSIAH CLARKE of Boston, was the seventh son of Nathaniel (see page 13). 23 June, 1 704. Josiah Clarke of Newbury sold to Dr. Humphrey Bradstreet twenty acres in " Almes- bury," which he inherited from his " Honoured father Nathaniel Clarke of Newbury." Josiah acknowledged the deed before Paul Dudley " J. pacis " in Boston.

In 1706 Josiah and Sarah Clarke conveyed to Nicholas Oilman for ^14, the "upland, woodland, sw^amp, and meadow," which he had in Salisbury and Newbury.

In a deed put on record, 2 Mar. 17 10. Henry Hale and Thomas Moody sold Josiah for ^5. Moody's wife Judith's rights in the estate of her grandfather, Henry Somerby. Mrs. Moody was daughter of Sarah Hale.

A deed is recorded 2 Mar. 17 10, in which Elizabeth Hale, daughter of Henry, Josiah Clarke of Boston,

THE COAT OF ARMS.

-ooXKoo-

The elder branch of the family have in their possession a coat of arms, which they regard as an heir-loom. It was evidently painted by John Coles, Senior, of Boston, and therefore can not be much over a centuiy old, and its genuineness is considered doubtful, by heraldic authorities. The following is the blazon : gules, three swords erect in pale argent, hilts or. An inescutcheon argent, charged with a sinister hand gules upon the blade of the middle sword. Crest, a helmet azure, embossed or ; above the helmet a wreath and a swan. A palm branch vert is on either side of the shield. There is no motto.

The arms are evidently a copy of those of the Clarkes, Baronets of Shirland, County Nottingham, England. The crest of the Baronet is " A hand gules couped at the wrist, holding a sword as in the arms." The inescutcheon is the Baronet's badge, and does not descend to younger sons.

Coles may have merely been directed to reproduce or make a copy of the ancient family arms, but the facts can not now be ascertained.

In explanation of the heraldic terms, it may be said that the arms are, on a red shield three straight old fashioned swords silver color, their points toward the top of the shield, with cross-shaped hilts of the color of gold. The inescutcheon is a small white shield with a red left hand open, the palm to the front, on it ; gules signi- fies red, azure blue, argent white, vert green, and or golden.
