Biography

Parentage; Date and Place of Birth

Edmund's parentage is unknown and his date and place of birth are uncertain. Based on his eldest known child's estimated date of birth (1633), he was probably born no later than 1610. However, since he was discharged from military training in 1650 for being "lame and aged",^[1] he was probably born well before then, probably at least before, say, 1605. Based on Edmund's date of death (1666), he was probably born after 1580. However, since his father-in-law, Walter Tibbot was probably born about 1584 and Walter's daughter Agnes who married Edmund as his second wife was probably born sometime in 1608-1614, it is probable that Edmund was born after 1595. Therefore, Edmund was probably born sometime in 1595-1605, with about 1600 being a reasonable midpoint estimate.

Based on the likelihood (as discussed below) that Edmund married Agnes (Tibbot) Dicke in England and Agnes and her first husband, Henry Dicke, had been living in Bristol, it is likely that Edmund was also, at the time, living in or near Bristol, and reasonably likely that he was born in that area.

A search in January 2020 on familysearch.org for an Edmund Clark (and variants thereof) baptized in or near of Bristol, England area in 1590-1610 found only the following match:

Edmond Clarke, son of John Clarke, baptized on March 18, 1600/1 at Saint Augustine the Less in Bristol.^[2]

The record seems highly promising based on both location and date and also the fact the father's name matches the name of Edmund's eldest son. Absent additional evidence, however, the proposition that that record relates to this profile's Edmund Clark should be considered speculative.

Some genealogists have identified the record of the baptism of an Edmunde Clark, son of John Clarke, on February 8, 1606/7 in Mickleton, Gloucester,^[3] or the record of the baptism of an Edmon Clarck, son of Rychard Clarke and Ane (Baylife) Clarke, on May 29, 1608 in Dymock, Gloucestershire,^[4] as a possible candidate for the record of the baptism of this profile's Edmund Clark. However, (1) Mickleton is 65 miles north of Bristol and Dymock is 47 miles north, (2) the dates seem rather late for an Edmund Clark who was considered "aged" in 1650 and (3) in the case of the Dymock baptism record, Edmund did not name a child Richard or Anne. Therefore, although it posssible that either could be the baptismal record for this profile's Edmund Clark, neither should be considered a prime candidate.

Same Person as Edmond Clarke of Sandwich?

Babson, in his 1860 History of Gloucester,^[5] suggested that Edmund Clark of Gloucester was "perhaps" the person as the Edmond Clarke who appeared in two records in Sandwich in the Plymouth Colony in 1640 and 1643. However, as discussed in the profile for that Edmond Clarke, that proposition appears unlikely because (1) it would require that Edmond have been living in Gloucester starting about 1646 and there are no records of an Edmund Clarke in Gloucester until at least 1649 and (2) records suggest that Edmond Clarke of Sandwich was relatively poor and of lower social standing in 1640 and that he was probably born sometime in 1625-1630, while the records relating to this profile's Edmund Clarke suggest was probably born in 1595-1605 and that, since he was referred to as "Mr." immediately upon his appearance in Gloucester records, he was fairly wealthy and of high social standing in 1650.

Two Marriages

From at least 1650 until the his death, Edmund was married to Agnes, the daughter of Walter Tibbot of Gloucester, as established by (1) the Gloucester town record of the birth of "Joshepe sonne of Edmente Clarke borne by Agnes this the 16 day of the 9 mo 1650: November",^[6][7] (2) the June 1651 will of Walter Tibbot, which included bequests to "my sonn in lawe edward clarke five pounds mor I give to John clark and Josefe clark twenit shellenes apece to pot to some good impliments to ras them as stock" and "The reste of my wearing aparell To my sonn clark I give",^[8][9] and (3) Edmund's will, which included bequests to "wife Agnes Clerke".^[10][11] Secondary sources have often assumed that Agnes was Edmund's only wife and not only the mother of sons Joseph and John but also Edmund's much older daughter Abigail. These sources include Savage's 1860 Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England,^[12] the 1922 Early Sargents of New England^[13] and the 1943 Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines.^[14] However, as shown in Agnes' profile, recent research using databases of English records confirms that, before Edmund, Agnes had been married to Henry Dicke/Dike and shows that Agnes and Henry continued to have children until at least January 1642/3. This means that Edmund's daughter Abigail (born about 1633) must have been his daughter from a prior marriage.

First Marriage and Children

The identity of Edmund's first wife is unknown and the date and place of their marriage is uncertain. Based on the estimated date of birth of Edmund's only known child by his first wife (Abigail, about 1633), Edmund and his first wife were probably married before 1633. Based on Edmund's estimated date of birth (sometime in 1595-1605), they could have been married as early as 1616. Based on the likelihood (as discussed below) that Edmund married Agnes (Tibbot) Dicke in England and Agnes and her first husband, Henry Dicke, had been living in Bristol, it is likely that Edmund was also, at the time, living in or near Bristol, and reasonably likely that he and his first wife were married in that area. A search in January 2020 on familysearch.org for marriages an Edmund Clark (and variants thereof) in or near Bristol, England in 1615-1633, however, found no likely candidates.

Edmund and his first wife had the following child (and perhaps others):

1. Abigail, b. about 1633 probably in or near Bristol, England, m. September 10, 1651 William Sergant in Gloucester, Massachusetts, d. March 8, 1710/1 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. (See discussion and sources in Abigail's profile.)

The date and place of death of Edmund's first wife is uncertain. Based on the date of birth of daughter Abigail, she probably died in or after 1633. Based on the likelihood (as discussed below) that Edmund married Agnes (Tibbot) Dike by 1648, Edmund's first wife probably died in or before that date.

Second Marriage and Children

As discussed above, secondary sources have often assumed that Agnes was Edmund's only wife and not only the mother of sons Joseph and John but also Edmund's much older daughter Abigail. Based on these sources and an estimated date of birth for Edmund's daughter Abigail of about 1633, Torrey stated that Edmund and married Agnes (Tibbot) Dicke/Dike by 1632.^[15] However, as set forth above and in the profile for Agnes' first husband Henry Dicke/Dike, Agnes and Henry continued to have children until at least January 1642/3. Edmund and Agnes were married sometime in 1643-1650 (when Walter and Agnes' son Joseph was born). Since, as discussed in son John's profile, it is probable that John was Agnes' son and born about 1647, it is most likely that Edmund and Agnes were married about 1646. Since, as discussed below, Edmund and Agnes probably immigrated in 1649, they were most likely married in England. Since the only records found for Edmund or Agnes in England are the records showing that Agnes was living in Bristol,^[16] it is most probable that Edmund and Agnes and Edmund were married in or near Bristol.

Edmund and Agnes had the following children:

1. John, b. probably about 1647 in or near Bristol, England, never married, d. 2 January 2, 1682 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. (See discussion and sources in John's profile.)
2. Joseph, b.November 16, 1650 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, m. March 27, 1682 Hannah Davis in Gloucester, Massachusetts, d. November 29, 1696 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. (See discussion and sources in Joseph's profile.)

Immigration to New England

Edmund and his family probably immigrated to New England about 1649. They settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where Edmund's father-in-law Walter Tibbot lived.^[17] The first record for Edmund in New England with a certain date is the record of the birth of his son Joseph in Gloucester in November 1650. There is, however, at least one Gloucester record that may indicate that Edmund held land in Gloucester in July 1649.^[18]

Residency in Gloucester

Shortly after his arrival in Gloucester, Edmund and wife Agnes' son John was born (in November 1650) and Edmund's daughter, Abigail, married William Sargent (in September 1651).^[19]

Gloucester records indicate that Edmund was initially granted land on the Annisquam River, adjoining parcels owned by John Bourne and father-in-law Walter Tibbot, probably in 1649. On October 29, 1651, a number of land grants to Edmund and the acquisition by Edmund of parcels from James Fogg and son-in-law Wiliam Sargent were recorded in Gloucester town records, but most of them no doubt occurred earlier and were recorded by him after the fact.^[18]

According to the record of the marriage of Edmund's daughter Agnes in the Gloucester town vital records, Edmund was a husbandman,^[20] which seems consistent with the inventory of Edmund's estate, which included land and livestock and no tools related to a different profession.^[10][11]

According to Babson and Savage (who may well have gotten his information from Babson), Edmund served as Gloucester town clerk from 1656 (Savage)^[21] or 1657 (Babson)^[5] until 1665, shortly before his death. Edmund was appproved as "clerk of the writs" for Gloucester in 1657, as a result of which his name appears in many Essex County court records from 1657 to 1665.^[18]

Will; Death; Estate

Edmund made his will on February 5, 1665/6. In his will, he made bequests to his wife Agnes Clerke, eldest son John Clerke (under 21), youngest son Joseph Clerke (under 21) and daughter Abigail Sergeant. He named his wife and son-in-law William Sergeant as executors. The will was witnessed by Sylvester Eveleigh, Harlakinden Symonds and Philip Staynwood.^[10][11]

Edmund died on February 26, 1665/6 in Gloucester.^[22]

The inventory of Edmund's estate was taken on February 28, 1665/6 by James Stevens and John Pears and totaled £84:5, including housing, upland, meadow and orchard (£50), steers (£10), cow (£9), a heifer (£3), yearlings (£2), swine (£1:5), furniture, clothing and household items (£9). Debts to be paid totalled £33.^[10][11]

Edmund's will was proved on testimony of Silvester Eveliegh and Mr. Harlackenden Symonds in Ipswich court on March 27, 1666, and his inventory report submitted to the court on the same day.^[10][11]
