Solomon Clark

1678–1748

Biography

Solomon appears in the Clark family history as a son of Joseph Clark and Mary Allen. The account says he married Mary White of Medfield around 1698 and names Jonathan among their children.

The book associates Solomon with Medfield and gives his death year as 1748. The published Medfield birth record corroborates the parent names Joseph Jr. and Marie, but its birth date differs from the family book, so only the year is shown here.

What still needs checking

Birth-date conflict: The Clarks, printed page 2, says August 8, 1678; the 1903 Medfield vital-record transcription, printed page 40, says July 8, 1678. The original town register is needed to resolve this.

The family book reports Mary White’s death in 1740 and a subsequent marriage to Elizabeth Adams. These relationships are recorded as family-account claims.
