    3. According to the will of Robert Clarke died 1664 and information online he married the widow of Thomas Greene - Mrs. Winifred Seybourne (has anyone determined her maiden name?) She died in 1658 and no wife was named in the will. His children were John born 1642, Robert born 1653, Thomas born 1654 and Mary. In 1647 "A" Robt Clarke gave gifts to son and daughter John and Mary witnessed by Thomas Greene. In 1655 "A" Robt Clarke gave bond to Henry Adams to marry widow Jane Causin. It seems to me unlikely that these are the same Robt Clarkes as the son John of the first one would only be 5 yrs old. In 1662 a Thomas Clarke gave a gift to wife Jane witnessed by a Robert Clarke. Again, Thomas Clarke above would only be 8 yrs old so this has to be from a different Clarke family. In 1662/63 a Robert Clarke and John Clarke made sales witnessed by Ignatius Causine. I don't see all of these people as coming from one immigrant above. Edward Barber mentioned Adam Clarke in his will of 1694 (I think he was a cousin?)I would expect this Adam to have been born about 1650. I find it hard to believe that these refer to Adam Clarke, son mentioned in the will of Thomas who died in 1711. That Adam is estimated to have been born in 1682. It seems that some wills and an Adam are missing. Thomas Clarke who had wife Julian made an indenture in 1709 witnessed by Adam Clarke. In his 1695 will Ignatius Crusine, son of Jane said his brother was Thomas and cousin was Francis Greene. What this indicates is that Robert Clarke that married Winifred and Robert Clarke that married Jane were brothers. Has anyone found an inventory or will for a 2nd Robert Clarke of this generation? Thanks!

    3. Robert Clarke the Surveyor Is one I have researched very Carefully. He was married three times. 1st to Unknown by which he had John Clarke born abt 1642 this John Clarke married Ann ?, a daughter Mary Clarke born abt 1644/45 who I have married to John COMPTON. Some think that perhaps his 1st wife might have been an Eleanor ?(this has not been proven for sure) Robert Clarke married 2nd to Winifred Seyborne (GREENE) wether or not Seyborne was her Maiden Name or a previous married name we don't know for sure. By this marriage he had Robert Clarke born March 1652, and Thomas Clarke born 25 Dec 1654. Winifred died by 1655. This Winifred had been previously married to Governor Thomas GREENE. Thomas Clarke born 25 Dec 1654 married twice 1st to Ann Barber, and 2nd to Julian MUDD. Most all of Thomas Clarke's children were from 1st wife Ann Barber, as was Adam CLARKE who married Mary Gardiner It is my belief that the son Robert Clarke married Sarah COMBS daughter of Abraham Combs. I decend from Robert Clarke who married Sarah COMBS(some would disagree that this Robert Clarke was the son of Robert Clarke the Surveyor. Currently many people are being tested for their DNA on this Robert Clarke's line, and I'm confident it is likely going to prove once and for all his parents. We will see if he is the son of Robert Clarke the Surveyor. Robert Clarke the Surveyor married third to Jane Hicks (COCKSHOOT) (CAUSIN) By third wife he had no children they were married abt 1656 and Robert Clarke the Surveyor died by 1664. All of this is very well documented. Jane Hicks married 1st to John Cockshoot, 2nd to Nicholas Causin, and third to Robert CLARKE the Surveyor. -----Original Message----- From: mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of rubyslippers Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 8:15 AM To: MDSTMARY@rootsweb.com Subject: [MDSTMARY] Robert Clarke immigrants According to the will of Robert Clarke died 1664 and information online he married the widow of Thomas Greene - Mrs. Winifred Seybourne (has anyone determined her maiden name?)

    3. According to the will of Robert Clarke died 1664 and information online he married the widow of Thomas Greene - Mrs. Winifred Seybourne (has anyone determined her maiden name?) She died in 1658 No she died 1655. and no wife was named in the will. 3rd wife Jane Hicks (COCKSHOOT) CAUSINE died about 1662. In 1647 "A" Robt Clarke gave gifts to son and daughter John and Mary witnessed by Thomas Greene. This is same Robert Clarke the Surveyor. In 1655 "A" Robt Clarke gave bond to Henry Adams to marry widow Jane Causin. Once Again Robert Clarke the Surveyor It seems to me unlikely that these are the same Robt Clarkes as the son John of the first one would only be 5 yrs old. This is same Robert Clarke the Surveyor. In 1662 a Thomas Clarke gave a gift to wife Jane witnessed by a Robert Clarke. Again, Thomas Clarke above would only be 8 yrs old so this has to be from a different Clarke family. Nope. It's the same Family. In 1662/63 a Robert Clarke and John Clarke made sales witnessed by Ignatius Causine. I don't see all of these people as coming from one immigrant above. If you need the documentation I can send to you separately, Robert Clarke the Surveyor is well documented. Edward Barber mentioned Adam Clarke in his will of 1694 (I think he was a cousin?) Edward Barber was the brother of Ann BARBER who married 1st to Thomas CLARKE father of Adam CLARKE. I would expect this Adam to have been born about 1650. Adam CLARKE was born abt 1682- 1686. I find it hard to believe that these refer to Adam Clarke, son mentioned in the will of Thomas who died in 1711. That Adam is estimated to have been born in 1682. There was only one Adam Clarke that I know of the son of Thomas CLARKE and Ann BARBER, whose step mom was Julian MUDD It seems that some wills and an Adam are missing. Only one Adam Clarke that we know of. Thomas Clarke who had wife Julian made an indenture in 1709 witnessed by Adam Clarke. In his 1695 will Ignatius Crusine, son of Jane said his brother was Thomas and cousin was Francis Greene. That's because Robert Clarke the Surveyor had married Jane Hicks (Cockshoot) Causine. What this indicates is that Robert Clarke that married Winifred and Robert Clarke that married Jane were brothers. NO way. Your all confused. Has anyone found an inventory or will for a 2nd Robert Clarke of this generation? Nope.
