The Clarke Pedigree in the Visitation of Hampshire noted that Sir Henry Clarke was the son of Thomas Clarke of Avington and Amy, daughter of Christopher Conningsby.[1] It also noted that Henry had married firstly Mary daughter of Sir John Wood and secondly Margaret daughter of Richard Percye. He had a son Thomas by his first wife and a son Henry by his second wife.
Edmund Clerke died seised of the manor of Avington, Hampshire, in 1586, leaving a son and heir Thomas, who died in 1617, when the estate passed to his son Henry. It was conveyed by Henry, probably for the purpose of a settlement, to Sir Nathaniel Napper in 1634.[2]
In 1635 William Rolfe sold the manor of Enford, Wiltshire to Sir Henry Clarke. At Sir Henry's death c. 1654 the manor passed to his second son Henry (d. 1681), M.P. for Great Bedwyn in 1661, under the terms of a settlement made in 1639. In 1673 the younger Henry settled the estate on his son Henry and daughter-in-law Hester. Thus the third Henry, M.P. for Ludgershall in 1685, was succeeded at his death in 1689 by his widow Hester. From Hester the manor passed to her son George Clarke.[3]
A Henry Clarke was knighted on 29 Aug 1615.[4]
A son Henry was born before 6 Sep 1621 to Sir Henry Clarke of Avington, Hants, and Margaret, daughter of Richard Percey of Lee Court, Greatham, Hants.[5] In 1639 Sir Henry Clarke settled on his son Henry the manor of Enford, Wiltshire, on the marriage of Henry (the younger) to Isabella Warwick.[6]
Henry Clarke, son of Thomas, married Mary Wood, daughter of John on 05 Jan 1602 at Hursley, Hampshire.[7]

Re: Online site source www.Ancestry.com: Keyword Search on Burke's Family Records; Henry Clarke, b. abt 1650-60 (est.), Hampshire, England: No results. (2) Search in Ancestry.com for Henry Clarke same b. range. Results: Clarke records for baptisms in Somerset, Devon, Beford, Wiltshire, Buckingham, within an agreeable time frame for a 1722 3rd m. to Mary Wood. but no match on father Thomas Clarke. I did locate a Henry Clarke bap. 26 Oct 1651 in London to parents Thomas & Joane Clarke.
