New Information

The past few days have shed light on a few bits of data we can add to our family tree. Gayle Lansky Matson, a Nathanial Clark descendant, emailed me about some entries in the David Hays account book. These entries confirm John Clark Jr., his father John Clark, brothers Able and Jabez, and probably a sister, Hannah. I've sent for copies of the pages to see what other closely related surnames might be listed. David Hays was a Bedford storekeeper. This find is exciting because it is the first pre-revolution documentary evidence of the Bedford Clarks of our clan.
