Samuel Clark, son of James and Elinor or Elizabeth (Wright) Clark, b. April 9, 1654. Mar. May 5, 1696, at Roxbury, Elizabeth Crafts, dau. of Lieut. Samuel and Elizabeth Seaver Crafts. They had three chn., Samuel, John and Mary.
The first Samuel Clark was a wheelwright. He was one of the Muddy River Company in the Canada Expedition in 1696.
This is probably the person of whom judge Sewall speaks in his diary under date of March 12, 1684. "Watched, with Isaac Goose and Samuel Clark. Pleasant night." This was a time when the Indians were particularly troublesome, and probably the watching referred to was on their account. H. F. W., p. 216.
