He was a trader and sailing captain. Two of his ships were the Speedwell and the Mercury. Salt and manufactured goods were brought to Virginia; tobacco, staves and furs were taken to England. On a 1741 voyage from Plymouth, England, his ship was chased and captured by Spaniards, who took the vessel and cargo valued at 14,000 pounds. He was left unharmed in Bermuda by the Spaniards, according to a report he later made to Governor Gooch of Virginia.
On the death of his father, Rev James Clack Sr, William became heir to his grandfather's property in Wiltshire and it is believed that he then made his home there. -Robert Graham Lowry, Footprints: The life Stories of Robert Graham Lowry and Susan Louise Thurman & those of their in-America Ancestors from Jamestown and Plymouth (self published, 1985), pp 202-217.
