Mr Thomas Clark upon letter of Dismission from the church at Dorchester having declared his spirituall Condicion at the Elders meeting.
No daughter named Submit is listed by Source:Savage, James, A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, but the birth record of the first daughter named Submit explicitly identifies the father as Thomas of the Church of Dorchester, which would seem to put her in this family. And if this is true for the first Submit, it would suggest the second Submit probably belongs in this family too. The quick baptism of the first Submit (aged 1 day) suggests the possibility that she was sickly, consistent with her dying as an infant, and having a second daughter of the same name.
