A brass memorial to "George Clarke" is mentioned in the book "Memorial Brasses in Hertfordshire Churches", by William Frampton Andrews, 1903, page 37, which states that the following brass inscription appears in the Bennington church:
"George Clarke by will dated 8th October 1556, gave £2 10s. for the poor of this parish, and also other sums for the parishes of Sandridge and Stevenage in this county."

"There are three brasses near the Rood Loft stairway; the upper is part of a scroll which may be related to the priest's brass in the Chancel. George Clarke mentioned in the middle of the brass took the farm on the Walkern Road by force in 152l while the owner, John Norreys, was in France. Both this brass, and that of his grandson below, were on the Nave floor until 1889."

"In his 1556 will, George Clarke the elder of Bennington, Herts. left the tithes of grain he had bought from Henry VIII to his son William and his heirs, under condition that every year at Christmas--in perpetuity--they make specified distribtuions of money and cloth to the poor of three nearby communities. Each of the grants was to be handled by the vicar, churchwardens, and two or three of 'the honest men' of the relevant parishes."

(Source: http://ubbw.org.uk/Churches/StPeters/StPeters.htm) Note: The mentioned relationship of George Clarke to his supposed "grandson" may not be correct, as the two other Clarke's mentioned in the brass inscriptions--William Clarke (d.1591) and John Clarke (d.1603)--were brothers whose grandfather was probably John Clarke.

"Thomas Clark" is mentioned in the book "The Daily Union History of Atlantic City and County, New Jersey", by John F. Hall, 1900, under the section entitled the "Clark Family" (pages 379-384), as follows: "III.--5. Thomas Clark married Hannah---. Married, second, in 1735, Ruth, by whom he had no issue. He settled at Clarks Landing, on the banks of the Mullica river, within the present limits of Egg Harbor City. By the first wife, Hannah, there were four sons: 7. Thomas, m. Sarah Parker, of Saybrook, in 1740. 8. David, m. and had five sons and one daughter. 9. Samuel, a Presbyterian clergyman. 10. Elijah, b. 1732. After the death of Hannah, the first wife, Thomas, the eldest son, then a young man of nineteen, was sent on horseback by his father to Connecticut to bring back a certain old acquaintance of his father’s for a step-mother. While in New Haven on his delicate errand, he met and fell in love with the beautiful and accomplished Sallie Parker. He secured the step-mother and brought her home on the led horse which he took with him, and two years later, in 1740, returned for his bride. For a wedding gift he gave her a string of Guinea gold beads, which are still held, with gold eardrops, by Misses Porter of Atlantic City, descendants of the family, as an interesting heirloom."
"Thomas Clark Sr." is listed in the "New Jersey State Archives Colection Guide" (online reference: http://www.nj.gov/state/archives/guides/pclar001.pdf) as follows:
The progenitor of the Clark family of Galloway Twp., Atlantic Co., was Thomas Clark Sr. (ca. 1689-1752), who is thought to have come from Connecticut to Egg Harbour, Burlington Co., by 1718. Thomas died intestate on 17 May 1752, leaving at least three sons: Thomas, David and Elijah. He is buried beside his wife Ruth at Clark's Landing, overlooking the Mullica River. The sons Thomas Jr. (ca. 1722-1793) and David (d. 1803) purchased several tracts of land, jointly, in Great Egg Harbour Twp., Gloucester County (later Galloway Twp., Atlantic Co.). Thomas Jr. died 31 October 1793, aged 71; he is buried beside his wife Sarah (Parker) at Clark's Mills, now Port Republic, Atlantic Co. Thomas Jr.'s three sons, Reuben, Adrial, and Parker, served as privates in the Gloucester County Militia during the Revolutionary War. Reuben (born ca. 1754) inherited his father's homestead plantation amounting to about 1,500 acres. He received a state military pension in 1837, and is listed on the 1840 census of pensioners in Galloway Twp., aged 86. He was apparently the same Reuben Clark who married in 1811, Olive (-?-), and had by her four children (see item #39 below).
