  • Notes 
    • Many people have him baptized 29 May 1608 in Dymock, Gloucestershire, England.
      Besides the correct name and reasonable year of birth, I could find no proof this is the same person. Just because the name is the same does not make it the same person. Fact is you can find half a dozen Edmund Clarksbaptized ub Gloucestershirethat were born in the correct time frame. Plus, where is the proof he was even from Gloucestershire.

      Edmund CLARK. - In the record of land-grants, a Mr. Clark is mentioned a few times before 1650, but only by the title of “ Mr. ;” which, in accordance with the custom of that period, implied some distinction on the part of the possessor. He is probably the same individual who appears with the baptismal name of Edmund in 1650 ; and perhaps the same Edmund Clark who was of Lynn in 1636, and afterwards of Sandwich. The name also appears in Haverhill in 1654. Our Edmund Clark was town-clerk from 1657 to November, 1665 ; when his last record, in a failing hand, was made. He died Feb. 26, 1666 ; leaving a widow Agnes, who married Thomas Penny; a son John, who resided near Walker's Creek, and died in 1681, probably unmarried ; a daughter Abigail, born in 1632, who married William Sargent; and a son Joseph, born in 1650, who was a soldier in the Indian war of 1675, and died in 1696, leaving three sons, - Joseph, John, and Edmund; the first and last of whom married, and had large families in the town. John purchased a lot of land, in 1718, in that part of Windham, Conn., which has since been incorporated by the name of Hampton. He removed thither with his wife, Ruth Haskell, whom he married in 1718; and was the fourth settler of the place. He died Nov. 9, 1782, aged ninety: his wife died July, 1776, aged eighty-three. Edmund was admitted an inhabitant of Falmouth, Me., in 1728; but did not remove thither.
