Posted on: CLARK Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/l/CLARK/queries/10410 Surname: Chambers, Clark, Graham, Weaver, Whittlesey ------------------------- I am looking for information about the forbears of my great-great-grandfather and namesake Dan Clark. According to a Whittlesey family history, he was "born Jan. 15, 1805, on Clark Hill; baptized July 2, 1809, at Farmington; married Mary Whittlesey on Sept. 4, 1827, at New Britain." He died Jan. 29, 1884, at Boone, IA. I am descended from Dan and Mary's son Adrian Ives Clark. Is this Clark Hill a known location? So far I learned this much from a librarian in the Connecticut State Library (History and Genealogy Unit): "There are several Clark Hills listed in Connecticut Place Names (Hartford, CT: Connecticut Historical Society, 1976). The one most likely referring to the area in which you are interested is a place in the city of New Britain. According to Connecticut Place Names this Clark Hill is located 'toward N. corner W. of Stanley Street, crossed by old main road from Farmington to Stanley Quarter. John Clark lived in the No. part of Stanley Quarter, c. 1754' (page 341). Anyone have anything else about this family? What about this John Clark?
