Joseph Clark

?–1684

Also recorded as Joseph Clarke.

Life and records

The Clark family history names Joseph Clark and Alice Pepper as a couple who came from England and settled in Massachusetts. It places Joseph in Dedham and later Medfield and reports his death in 1684.

The book’s first numbered generation lists Joseph, born in 1642, among their children. This is the earliest Clark generation supported by an explicit family link in the supplied compilation; Joseph’s parents and English birthplace have not been established here.

What still needs checking

A handwritten annotation gives a marriage year of 1640; that year has not been checked against a marriage record. No birth year or English parentage is inferred.
