Clark GenealogyThe Clarks of Clark's Landing, New Jersey
[With no proof,I've often wondered if Rev Learner Blackman was named for
Larndner Clark?]

A-1 Thomas Clark, b , was of Milford, CT, d 10 Oct 1668, inventory
#220.
He came from Great Mundon, Hertfordshire, England, took the oath of
Fidelity
in New Haven, CT in 1644. He m 1654 Ann Bishop, dau of John Bishop and
widow
of John Jordan, of Guilford. She was a relative of Gov Jordan. See
"Record of
the Descendants of John Bishop" by W. W. Cone, 1951.
After his marriage, Thomas Clark lived Guilford, where 02 Dec 1658 John
Hill,
of Guilford, sued him for slander. The plaintiff declared that the
defendant
hath slanderously reported that he John Hill laid violent hands upon
him and
shook him and offered to strike him with his fork and another while
with his
fists, which the said Hill denied, and so looks upon himself as
wronged, and
desires satisfaction for the slander. Mr Clark gave the truth in
evidence,
which he fully sustained, so the court awarded that the Defendant was
not
guilty of slandering Hill and awarded the Defendant his costs.
