Biography

Birth & Parents

According to Robert Anderson in The Great Migration, Nathaniel Clarke was the son and eldest child of Thomas Clark, the immigrant (a.k.a. "Thomas the tanner"), and presumably his wife Sarah. His father came to New England about 1634, and settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, where Nathaniel was probably born ca. 1638. Nathaniel and his brother Thomas, Jr., were witnesses to a March 1, 1686-7, document regarding an Ipswich land sale by his father, Thomas Clarke, Sr.[1][2][3]

Marriage

On November 23, 1663, Nathaniel married at Newbury, Massachusetts, Elizabeth Somerby, daughter of Henry and Judith (Greenleaf) Somerby.[1][4][2][5][6]

Life Facts

Nathaniel was "Constable" at Newbury March 7, 1667; admitted freeman April 29, 1668; Tything-man, April 25, 1681; Selectman, March 1, 1681-2; Naval Officer for Newbury and Salisbury ports, May 15, 1684; promoted from sergeant to ensign in Daniel Pierce's company of Rowley, 1685; Committee of dividing the commons, May 5, 1686.[7]

Death & Burial

Nathaniel Clark died in Newbury, Massachusetts, on Monday, August 25, 1690, "aged about 48." According to his Find A Grave: Memorial #9474228, he is buried in the First Parish Burying Ground in Newbury, but it appears that there is no gravestone extant.[2][8] Clarke says he "was probably buried in the Old Town graveyard, but the place is unknown to the writer."[9][10]

Research Notes

  • James Savage (among others) claimed that Nathaniel, "d. on board the sh. Six Friends, soon after sail, in the expedit. against Quebec, 25 Aug. 1690."[2] However, several sources dispute this, including Clarke who warned of those who repeat "the troublesome error contained in Joshua Coffin's History of Newbury that Nathaniel Clarke, husband of Elizabeth (Somerby), was mortally wounded in the expedition to Canada. It was his son. See Probate papers at Salem."[44]

Changed son to this profile, Josiah, as uncertain based on the information regarding spouse of Sarah Chamberlain for Josiah on this page. Am thinking to detach and then a new profile for the proper son of Nathaniel can be created (or found). However, the secondary source that explains the correct lineage (Descendants of Nathaniel Clark pg.196-198) uses the same vitals as the current profile for Josiah has, with DOD of 1717 and spouse Sarah re-married to Joseph Woodwell by 1720. The 1726 DOD shown on this profile and the Find-A-Grave memorial are hard to reconcile with the secondary source. Any ideas on where it is form?

White-34498 Chip White Jr.
I agree. The Clark source comes in 2 editions - 1885 and 1902. I used the later edition which apparently doesn't have a special section highlighting Josiah, so I was relying more on FamilySearch for sources, which is where the Find-a-Grave source came from. It does appear that Josiah's FamilySearch profile may contain a conflation of information for 2 different persons named Josiah Clarke. For example, there are two marriage records, Sarah Chamberline, 24 Jan 1705, in Boston, and Priscilla Greenwood, 6 Dec 1707, in Ipswich. I have now removed reference to the Find-a-Grave source here and added a ref to the earlier Clark source. It's likely that the Find-a-Grave memorial is also some sort of a conflation, but more research will be required to figure that out.

Jared Stiffler
Yes definitely a conflation. I think there were 3 Josiah’s who were all contemporary. I think the Josiah who married Priscilla Greenwood may be son to Nathaniel’s brother Thomas but right now this is just a guess. I’ll detach Josiah right now and see what can be found in the record

I don't see any combinations of those authors and subjects in my research.

So change anything in those familys

According to the Great Migraton, Nathaniel's father's Thomas's wife was Sarah. I can't find any records referring to a Mary Sherman who supposed married a William Clarke. Any objections to replacing Nathaniel's mother with Sarah (Unknown) Clark?
