C.C.Gardner, page 29: He was born on Long Island about 1670. He was one of the "Associates of Elizabethtown" in 1699, and in 1701 contributed a small amount toward the support of Rev. John Harriman. In the collection of manuscripts belonging to the New Jersey Historical Society, there is a deed dated Dec. 3, 1702 from Samuel Clarke of Elizabethtown, planter, and Susanna, (who signed with her mark) to Thomas Clarke, also of Elizabethtown, planter, for Samuel's share of the estate of their father, Richard Clark, deceased. The consideration named is £10. The will of Samuel Clark, yeoman, was dated at E.T. Nov. 14, 1715., and probated April 11, 1716, and makes his wife Susanna and his brother Richard Clarke executors. Mention is made of 1/3 of the plantation late of John Clark, dec'd, bought of his daughter Mary. [Ref# 32]
