John Clark died on 21 September 1677 in Saybrook, Connecticut. [CVRS] John, Jr. married Rebecca Parker on 16 October 1650 in Saybrook. [CVRS]
Children of John Clark and Rebecca Parker: Births of the first three recorded in Saybrook as the children of John, Jr. and Rebecca. [CVRS]
i. Rebecca Clark was born on 26 January 1652.
ii. Major John Clark was born on 17 November 1655. He married Rebecca Beamon.
iii. James Clark was born on 29 September 1657. He died in August 1659 in Saybrook. [CVRS]
iv. Sarah Clark (possible daughter) married Samuel Willard on 6 June 1683 in Saybrook. [CVRS]
v. Samuel Clark was born on 25 April 1675 Saybrook. [CVRS] He married Mary, the daughter of Nathaniel and Mary Kirtland, on 14 December 1699 in Saybrook.
Samuel is a puzzle. He is recorded as the son of John and Rebecca. He is too young to be the so of Major John Clark and Rebecca Beamon, but he is old to be the son of John and Rebecca Parker.
