Patrick Who was the Clark mentioned in this email? My Clark family settled in Washington County in 1763 or soon thereafter. Samuel Clark settled on the Cambridge Patent. His mother was Jane Slarrow who had a brother Joseph Slarrow buried at Salem Revolutionary War Cemetery in 1784.

Samuel Clark is recorded as a resident of the Cambridge Tax District of Albany County NY in October of 1779. (Please see: 1779 Cambridge District, Albany County, NY Tax List Transcribed by Leslie B. Potter 2/17/04 and posted on the Washington County Gen Web site New York State Library call number: KT 13324 GY Lansing Papers Box 1 file 2 New York State Library at Albany, NY) I did not find anyone named Slarrow on the 1779 Cambridge District Tax List. Perhaps Joseph Slarrow lived in one of the adjoining Albany County Tax Districts or across the line in Charlotte County. I have never looked for tax records for Charlotte County, so I do not know if any are still in existence. The Clark referred to in the e-mail, which you cited, was the Rev. Thomas Clark, MD, who brought his congregation from Ireland to settle in what later became Salem, Washington County, NY.
