- The Middlesex Probate file for John Clark, #4530 in 1730, is incomplete. There is reference to a will but no will. However, even what is there raises questions, as there are documents signed by heirs, legacies from the will listed on accounts, and yet nothing mentions a daughter Mary, or John Ball.
Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855), p. 12 and 676, suggests his John Ball #12, 30 years her senior, married Mary as a second wife, based on the death of Mary, wife of John Ball in 1738. As explained in The Children of Two John Balls of Watertown, since it can be shown this John and Mary actually have children, her husband was really John Ball #44.
Warren mentions "the Clark Genealogy" that apparently follows Bond, but this has not been located yet due to the ambiguous specification (there are several Clark Genealogies). It may mean Source:Clark, Frank M. Clark Genealogy, but this does not seem available on line to confirm.
