The will of Thomas Clark, dated Jan 8, 1709-10, and probated Aug. 22, 1711. It names his four sons, and makes his wife Hannah and Andrew Hamton executors. It has been stated that Mr. Clark had other children, but it is extremely doubtful, and there is absolutely no record to confirm the statement. Children: + 45. i Thomas Clark born 1701. + 46. ii Capt. Abraham Clark born 1702. + 47. iii James Clark born 1706. + 48. iv Daniel Clark
Both Gardner and Honeyman contain mistakes. Harman Clark who devoted years to the family research says, We have found the History of Union County, edited by Honeyman, to contain numerous errors, though Honeyman himself had a reputation as a genealogist and historian, but apparently mainly lent his name to that work.
