I don't think he is with the correct parents since his parents and all of his siblings were born in Ipswich.

My information I recorded is correct, if you care to research here is a resource for you to check out

Vital Records of Norwich Connecticut, 1659-1848, Part I. Hartford: Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut, 1913. Or a simple internet search on numerous sites will also verify this Isaac Clark to be the son of John Clark, who was the son of Thomas (the Tanner) Clark of Ipswich, MA
