Clark-82372 and Clarke-1996 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicated sibling after merge.

(Note the spelling, Clark and Clarke, even when referring to the same individual in a single document- WVB)

When John Clark signed his will, Nov. 28, 1685, he named five Children under 18 years of age. According to the order of names in the will, we can approximate the years of birth as John 1672, Robert 1674, Benjamin 1676, Francis 1678 and ANN 1680. This may be off five years, one way or the other, but is close enough for our record. Robert Clark and his brothers, two of them married, signed deeds to lands left them by their father in 1699. The Charles County Deed Books from 1694 to 1697 are missing, presumably destroyed, but the following deed is recorded in the Charles County Court Proceedings: Liber S, No. 1, 1692-1694, Fol 407-408: "Indenture, this 4th day of Jan, 1694, between William Clarkson of Charles Co. and Robert Clarke, of same County, Planter. Sd. Clark¬ son sells to Sd. Robert Clark all that parcel of land in Charles County called CLARKSONS PURCHASE, on Clash Creek". Deeds, Prince Georges Co., Liber E, Fol 380: "Indenture, 23 April, 1715, between Robert Clark of Prince Georges County, Lawyer, and John Ridgeway. Sd. Clark sells all that tract called CLARKSONS PURCHASE, in Prince Georges County, formerly Charles County, adj. a tract called Addisous Expidition, below the mouth of Clash Creek, containing 192 a with all Bldgs, Houses, barns and Stables, etc". (Note- No wife signed this deed-WVB) Deed, Baltimore County, TR~A, pages 443-444: "Indenture, 5 Nov 1716, Benjamin Wheeler, of Prince Georges County, sells to Robert Clark, late of same County, but now of Baltimore County, plat called WHEELER’S AND CLARK'S CONTRIVANCE, laid out 24 Feb 17 14 for 1, 000 a" (Note- This deed was also quoted on page 26 to prove date that Benjamin Wheeler moved from Prince Georges County to Baltimore County- WVB) These deeds prove that the Robert Clark of Charles and Prince Georges Counties was the same Robert Clark who moved to Baltimore County in 1716. The Index to Land Patents shows that this Robert Clark was issued a patent for ROBERTS GARDEN, 120 acres, in 1718; was assigned 300 a by Benjamin Wheeler in 1720, called CLARKS PARK, which assignment was witnessed by Isaac Butterworth. In partnership with John Mackleroy he patented 300 acres called GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD and a plat called ROBERT AND JOHNS LOT in 1720. In Deed Book TB No. E, page 109, is recorded a deed for the sale, by Robert Clark, of a plat called CLARKES PARK, in Baltimore County, on the south side of Deer Creek, adj. Thomases Be¬ ginning, signed 31 July 1746 and acknowledged by Robert Clark and Sillina, his wife. Robert Clark of Deer Creek signed a will Dec. 22, 1755 and it was proved in Court Jan 18, 1757. It is recorded in Wills, B. T, No. 2, Fol221 as follows: "I, Robert Clark, Lawyer, of Deer Creek, Baltimore County, Maryland, make this my last will and testament: Liber 30, folio 221 22 Nov. 1755 CLARK, ROBERT, Sr., Deer Creek, Baltimore Co. To eldest son, Robert Clark, Roberts Garden & all my wearing appl. To 2d son, William Clark, John & Roberts Lott 156a. To 3d son, George Clark, Roberts Chance 100a, Roberts Venture 80a, & Rachels Delight 50a. To 4th son, David, my 122a of Good Neighborhood & Wheelers Union 100a. To eldest dau., Frances Renshaw, 1 English crown. To daus. Hannah Amos & Mary Johnson, each a crown sterl. To dau. Sarah Clark, Roberts Lott 100a. To dau. Hester Johnson, 1 crown sterl. To dau.

The Following Information will help establish that this Robert Clark who signed a will in 1755 and was proved in 1757 is the same Robert Clarke, Son of John and Anne of Charles County. This establishes this Robert, who married Selinah Smith as either the son, or possibly, the Grandson of John and Anne. I have to to divide the comment up into several section due to a word limit.

These are excerpts from the book: The Butterworth Family of Maryland and Virginia ; a genealogy and history of the Butterworth family for more than 300 years, including allied families of Bond, Clark, Clement, Gilbert, Webster, Wheeler, and many others. Edited by Helen Hutchinson Dickinson. In the library of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in Wash¬ ington, D, C, is a rare book, published in 1855, titled "The Day Star of American Freedom". On pages 195-196 there is a reference to Robert Clark. The authors of this book probably had an opportunity to secure in¬ formation from some of his descendants born in the 18th century. The fol¬ lowing is quoted from this book: "It is difficult to trace the descendants of the Privy Councellor. His posterity was dispersed through various parts of the Province and in 1686 his eldest son, John, died. He was a resident of St. Marys Co., holding land upon a branch of St. Thomas Creek in Charles County. John Clark was not as prominent as his father but he was a successful planter, owning land in St. Marys County and Charles County and in that part of Charles County which was later to become Prince Georges County. He was born probably about 1640 as his father deeded him one cow in 1647. He had five children under 18 years of age when he died in 1686. In 1665 he was granted a patent for “Crouches Gift", 500 acres, for rights due his father for transporting five persons before 1651. In 1666, in partnership with John Brown, he received a patent for Brown and Clark, 50 acres, in A. A, County “On the N. side of the Severn River“ (Liber A, Fol 189). In 1667 he received a patent for “Clark’s Marsh”, for 50 acres “On the west side of Wiccomico River, lying before his own land he now liveth upon” (Liber 10, Fol 472). The Index to Land Patents shows that John Clark was issued a patent for “Clarks Inheritance” in 1663, Clark’s Purchase” in 1665 and “St. Lawrence Spring” in 1665. He died on March 6,1686 and left a will reading as follows: (Wills, Vol 4, page 193) “I desire that my land, 1000 acres, be equally divided amongst my five children; JOHN, ROBERT, BENJAMIN, FRANCIS and ANN. If any of ye children die before coming of 18 years of age etc I give to my wife Ann Clark for to dispose of as she thinks fit. My wife Ann Clark, sole Execr”. /S/ 28 Nov 1685, Pro, 6 Mar 1686 Witness; Thomas Clark (Note-Witness probably testator’s brother) No land plats were mentioned in the will but John Clark owned land that lay in what was later to become Prince Georges County as shown by the following deeds: Continued from Previous Comment: P. G. County Deed Book -Liber A No. 1: “Indenture, 24 Feb 1699 between John Clarke, Robert Clarke, Benjamin Clarke and Francis Clarke of Charles and St. Marys Counties, Planters, and William Herbert.

"Clark, Rigdon, Wilson and Durham Families of Harford County, Maryland." by Ella Harrison Rowe, published privately, Baltimore, MD, Fall 1987, pp 4 - 6:

Robert Clark - it is with this generation that the "e" was dropped from the name - was born in St. Mary's County, ca. 1694, died in 1755. He left St. Mary's County as a young man. On 5 November 1716, Benjamin Wheeler of Prince George's County, conveyed to Robert Clark, late of the same county, but now of Baltimore County, 1000 acres of "Wheeler and Clark's Contrivances", laid out 24 February 1714. Other tracks of land acquired by Robert Clark in Baltimore County included "Roberts Garden" (120 acres), patented in 1718, "Clark's Park" (300 acres) asigned in 1720, with John Mackelroy; and Robert and John's Lott" from whom he bought from John Mackelouray on 3 September 1725. It was located on the South Side of Deer Creek, Baltimore County (156 acres). It is in the inheritance of "Robert and John's Lott" that makes it possible to trace the line of Robert Clark's son, William Clark.

At the time that Robert Clark settled, the area was in Baltimore County. In 1744 that part of Baltimore County was renamed Harford in honor of Henry Harford an illegimate son of Leonard Calvert. When Harford County was formed, it was divided into Hundreds:

Gunpowder Lower Bush River Upper Deer Creek Upper Spesutia Upper Deer Creek Lower Spesutia Lower Bush River Lower Susquehanna

The first Grand Jury assembled at Harford Town on the Bush River, 23 August 1774. BelAir, originally called "Scott's Old Field's," became the county seat 20 January 1787 and has remained so to the present day.

Robert Clark settled in the Deer Creek area of Baltimore County (now Harford) where he was a farmer and land owner. Part of his properties included the Rocks of Deer Creek which his descendants continued to own until ca. the early 1950's. He married Selinah/Sillina Smith 18 February 1718.
