>Hi, >Here's another site I found, same George Clark, but says wife's name was >"Sarah" with no surname . . I'm losing hope here . . . > >http://www.altlaw.com/EdBall/html/d0034/i10148.htm etc. etc. .... I found another reference to these people, but this one has "Mary Brown" as mother of Abigail Clark. Copied from http://revolution.3-cities.com/~gjansen/kitchel.htm -5 3330 4-1 m 1671/2 Milford CT Abigail CLARK b 1654 Milford CT dau "farmer" George CLARK and Mary BROWN; d 15May1727 However, if Abigail was alive when Martha was killed in 1648, then the above Abigail cannot be her. How about this Abigail Clark from http://www.athens.net/~ethelind/genealogy/mom_ahn.html. Extract: 908. William SARGENT #38320 born abt 1624, married 10 Sep 1651, Abigail CLARK #38321, born abt 1632, died 08 Mar 1711. William died 19 Feb 1717. res. Gloucester; selectman and representative 1671, 1691 909. Abigail CLARK #38321 born abt 1632, died 08 Mar 1711. Hmm ... She is probably born too early. There is another born 1641 (http://members.xoom.com/rcjack1/wga7.html), but she has the wrong parents and family. Obviously Abigail Clark/Clarke was a common name among the early Massachusetts folk. Have you seen the following? (at http://www.gendex.com/users/jast/D0007/G0000038.html) "Thanks to the website "Don Dickenson's Ancestors" from which this information was copied. "Richard Bishop of Piscataway was originally a First Settler of Duxbury, Massachusetts, where he had a son, James Bishop. He lived with Love Brewster in 1638. Richard Bishop was of Plymouth, and there he hired Nathaniel Souther on January 5, 1640-1. Among those "Able to bear arms in the Colony of New Plymouth. 1643, were Nathl Souther, George Clarke, and Richard Bushop." . Richard married Alice Clark on December 5, 1644 [possibly as his second wife]. She was the widow of George Clark, and tragically ended her life by murdering her own child, and was subsequently hung therefor, in 1648. There is a mournful account of the murder by Alice Bishop of her daughter, Martha Clarke, 4 years old, July 22, 1648 (Savage, Vol. I, page 393). She also had another daughter, Abigail Clark. There is also reference to "Damaris, (wife of the first William Sutton), daughter of Alice and Richard Bishop". When William Sutton removed to New Jersey, Bishop sold his property at Duxbury, and went to live with him. Richard Bishop was called "of Piscattaway in Artercull or New Jersey," when he sold to Capt. Benjamin Church his property in the Colony (Winsor's Duxbury, page 228.)." So there is the relocation of the family to NJ (including Richard Bishop, Alice's husband). Perhaps Abigail Clark went with them ... but then again she may have been married by then, or perhaps she died in childhood ... Ruth
