Biography
The Clark family history identifies this Joseph as a son of Joseph Clark and Alice Pepper. It gives his birth year as 1642 and says he married Mary Allen in 1663.
Solomon, born in 1678, appears among their children. The published Medfield vital-record transcription also names Solomon’s parents as Joseph Jr. and Marie. The family compilation gives Joseph’s death year as 1702.

What still needs checking
Mary Allen is named as his wife in the family book; the published birth entry uses Marie. This does not by itself establish her maiden surname.
