    [Note: this sketch of John's father includes a long disambiguation of several Thomas Clarks: "there might in fact be five or more Thomas Clarks in Ipswich during these years". "John [son of Thomas Clark the tanner and Sergeant] is well documented as a carpenter who married Mary Burnham".]

  2.   There are two marriages to a John Clark in Ipswich prior to the death of a John Clark in 1721-2. One of the marriages, perhaps both, could be the John b. 1666, or they may be split between that John and this one? NEHGR, vol. 128 (1974), p. 23, has John going to Connecticut and dying 1709. However, the will of John Clark of Norwich, dated 23 Apr 1708 (TAG, p. 10:168), while mentioning a wife Mary, says John is his eldest son, while Ipswich records say the first son John must have died since another was born 6 years later, and the son Thomas was older than the second son named John. Robert Charles Anderson's sketch of the father would seem to indicate John was still living in Ipswich in 1695 when his father's homestead was quitclaimed to him, and it is not clear that he left Ipswich. It is going to take a Robert Charles Anderson-type of analysis to sort out the various John Clarks.
