The Clark Family

Four brothers named "Clarke" or "Clark" lived at Great Mundon, in Hertfordshire, England, viz: Edward, John, George and Daniel.   This is
shown by the Will of George Clark, who died at Milford, Conn., in 1690. Edward lived and died in England; the other three came to America.
JOHN CLARK was born at Great Mundon, Hertfordshire, England, about 1600. In about 1630, he came to Massachusetts with his wife, children and two brothers. He first located at Newton, later known as Cam­bridge. Governor Winthrop’s journal shows that he was living in that place in 1632. John was made a freeman on November 6, 1632. In 1636, he left Cambridge with the Rev. Thomas Hooker’s company and assisted in the founding of Hartford, Conn. Records show that he fought in the battle against the Pequot Indians in 1637. In 1651, he served as a member of the Court at Stratford which tried Goody Bassett for witchcraft. John Clark was married twice, first in England to a Miss Coley—probably of Milford—and after her death, to Mary, widow of John Fletcher. No children were born of the second marriage; four were born of the first marriage, one of whom was Elizabeth Clark.
ELIZABETH CLARK, born at Great Mundon, Hertfordshire, England, in 1624. She came to America with her parents when quite young. In 1640, Elizabeth married William Pratt, Jr. of Saybrook.

The Clark family thus merges into the Pratt family.
