CLARK, Benja[min] of Watertown, and Lydia Holdin, Feb. 2, 1726-7.
[Both Shattuck and Clark give the 1721 date, which fits better with the known births (assuming Lydia to be oldest of two sisters baptized 1699, since named first, so born possibly 1697). The Cambridge date is incorrect, as Benjamin Clark was named administrator of his father in law on 9 Jan 1726[/27] so married to Lydia before the date recorded. This is what the Cambridge records say, though here.]
