  1. Source: #S1712 Page: 1059 Data: Text: The will of John Soane, dated Dec. 1, 1695, mentions his mother Judith Soane, widow of Henry, brother Peter Field, etc.
  2. Source: #S1713 Data: Text: Allison's will was written 18 February 1769 (Chesterfield Co., VA, WB 2, pp. 61-2) and proved in Chesterfield Co., VA, court on 3 March 1769 (Chesterfield Co., VA, COB 3, p. 264). In his will he names: Wife Martha - use of houses and plantation until George became 16; Grandson Shadrack CLARK - 5 pounds, if he were to die under age or before marriage, then the money to his brothers and sisters; Sons William and John - 1 shilling each; Daughters Mary ROWLETT, Sarah FOWLER, Edey HATCHER, and Martha CLARK - each 1 shilling; Son Jesse - plantation "whereon I now live" with 100 acres to son George when he is 16; Son George - 100 acres bounded by ASHBROOK, CLAY, and MARKHAM being the lower part of the Plantatin whereon I now live, 1 Negro named Allen, and 17.13.0 pounds; Rest of estate divided between Jesse and George. If either should died before they come to lawful age or married that then the surviving person of the two should enjoy the hole [sic] of the said Estate to him and his heirs forever; To son George - one black mare; Exors. = beloved friends Thomas WORSHAM, and Gardner FOWLER Wit. = Francis LOCKETT, John WATKINS, and James AKIN
  3. Source: #S1714 Data: Text: William Clark's oldest son, William Jr., was a mariner who died in 1741 and does not appear to have married. William's youngest son was Allison Clark Sr., who appears to have been born about 1697 and married Martha Field before 1620. (Note: some report that Martha's surname was Hudson rather than Field -- perhaps she was a widow.) As you probably know, Allison Clark Sr. also left a will which detailed his surviving children. They and their spouses are noted in earlier messages in this sequence and elsewhere on the Clark Forum. Let me know via e-mail if you would like info on later generations.

Per SAR records this is NOT the daughter of Peter Field, his daughter is well documented in Genealogies of Virginia Families Author: Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Volume 1. Publisher: Genealogical Publishing Com, 1981. Page: 445 & 446. She married John Archer. This Martha Field is still a subject of discussion...as indicated in your notes...her name may have been Hudson, but she most certainly was born closer to 1700 as the children in her husband's will were born as late as 1740
