From a correspondent (reliability unknown): Joshua Clarke’s name is on record of persons taxed by Providence [R.I.] ca. 1681. Following his name is that of Richard Phillips. The name before Joshua’s is Alexander Balcom, minor, so evidently Joshua was of age in 1681. Citation to Providence City Documents Vol. 2 p. 107 (ca. 1902).

Cutter's date below is without documentation and conflicts with more recent research on the probable birth order and dates of the children.

Elizabeth --

I'm a little confused about your note on Clark-6169. Are you saying that this Joshua (Clark-2646) is in the wrong generation?? Should this Joshua be a son to Clark-6169?

Clark-6169 is set to Open Privacy, so if you have documentation that defines how the relationships should be arranged, it's OK for you to correct them. Just make sure that you cite your sources on the profiles you're changing.

On the other hand, if there is no documentation that Joshua-6169 had a son named Joshua, and there should only be one son named Joshua for Joseph & Margaret (Turner) Clarke, then let's go ahead and merge these two profiles keeping the correct dates.

Thanks! Please let me know if you need help with any of this.

Clark-6169 and Clarke-2646 do not represent the same person because: See note on Clarke-6169
Correct citation in new proposed merge.
Clark-6169 and Clarke-2646 appear to represent the same person because: Birth date appears to be an estimate on Clark-6169 -- again, odd that they would have sons with the same name and both of them grew to adulthood.
