Hi...Matthew Clark & Rachel DUNN are detailed in: Records of the Descendants of Hugh Clark of Watertown, Mass. 1640-1866, by John Clark, Boston, 1866, Alfred Mudge and Sons, Printers I believe that Matthew died in 1780, so he probably couldn't be the father of David. Suggest you verify the above since I may be in error... >From Joe ARLT........joearlt@juno.com......CLARK Clearing House...
