Biography
The Clark family history lists John, born October 22, 1725, as a child of Jonathan Clark and Experience Cook. His own entry places his birth in Wrentham, Massachusetts.
The account records his marriage to Ruth Baxter on January 16, 1752, and lists John, born March 27, 1753, among their children. It also associates the family with Franklin, Massachusetts. These relationships are recorded as family-history evidence pending comparison with original records.
