The nine descendants of the early settler, Thomas Clark, fought to establish the independence of this country. The graves of four are to the writer unknown. Five lie buried beneath the sod of the Clark's Mill burying ground, Port Republic. Not only were the Clarks prominent as soldiers of the Revolution, but they were leading members of the community in which they resided.

2016 Research on Thomas Clark:
According to the "Clark Family" history (published 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), Thomas Clark was possibly born in "Hertfordshire, England" before 1618--as he would have been 16 years or older when he "took the oath of Fidelity at New Haven" Connecticut in "1634"--and may have been a "brother" to "George Clark Jr., of Milford" (Connecticut) and "John Clark, of Saybrook" (Connecticut). (Note: The following comment about the "Oath of Fidelity" comes from http://vita-brevis.org/2014/07/oaths-early-new-england/: "The Bay Colony also required, beginning in 1634, that any man age 16 or above who had been or planned to be a resident in the colony for six months, and who was not otherwise 'infranchized,' be required to take the Oath of Residents. The man taking this oath swore that he was bound by the laws of the colony.")
George Clark Jr., mentioned in his Will of 1690 that he had three brothers: John, Edward and Daniel. These four brothers were probably the sons of George Clarke and Grace Bodye--who had seven children who were all christened in Kimpton, Hertfordshire. George Clarke (Jr.) was christened on 22 March 1611; John Clarke was christened on 20 February 1619; Edward (Edwarde) was christened on 4 August 1622; and Daniel (Dannell) was christened on 23 November 1628.
Although George Clark Jr. and Thomas Clark were not "brothers", they were probably "cousins". In 2016 an extensive radius search and relationship analysis (using patterns of duration, location and patronymics as well as the identity of spouses and descendants) of all known Thomas Clark's who were christened in Hertfordshire between 1600 and 1618 determined that the Thomas Clark(e) who married Anne Bishop in 1652 in Guilford, Connecticut, was probably the same "Thomas Clarke" who was christened on 27 March 1609 in Graveley, Hertfordshire, and whose father was also named "Thomas Clarke". (Graveley, Hertfordshire, is about 11 travel miles northeast of Kimpton, Hertfordshire.)
In addition to the above, some descendants of Samuel Clark (b. 1798) have mentioned that past family experiences or traditions have suggested or stated that Samuel's ancestry--through Thomas Clarke of Guilford (d.1668)--goes back to the Clarke's of Hertfordshire, England.Research Note: "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: "1. Thomas Clark, of Milford, Connecticut, probably brother of George Clark Jr., of Milford, and of John Clark, of Saybrook, who came from ---, Hertfordshire, England; took the oath of Fidelity [for males 16 years old or older] at New Haven, 1634 [so he was born in 1618 or earlier], married Ann, widow of John Jordan, of Guilford, 1654. She was a relative of Governor Fenwich. After his marriage he lived at Guilford, where, December 2, 1658, John Hill, of Guilford, sued Thomas Clark for slander. The plaintiff declared that the defendant both slanderously reported that he, the said John Hill, laid violent hands upon him and took him by the collar or throat and shook him and offered to strike him with his fork and another while with his fist, which the said Hill denied, and so looks upon himself as wronged and desired satisfaction of the slander. Mr. Clark gave the truth in evidence, which he fully sustained, so that the court awarded that the defendant was not guilty of slandering Hill and awarded the defendant his cost. Thomas Clark died October 10, 1668; Inventory, 220 pounds; Mrs. Clark died at Saybrook, January 3, 1672; Inventory at Guilford 26 pounds; at Saybrook, 77 pounds. Abraham Post, of Saybrook, who had married her daughter was the administrator. Children.--1. Daniel, b. January 1657-8. 2. Sarah.. 3- Elizabeth."

Research Note: The birth and death of "Thomas Clark" is listed on FindAGrave, Memorial # 109999644, which states that he was born on 1 January 1628 in Hertfordshire, England--with other online sources stating that he was born in 1628 in Great Munden or Watton-At-Stone; that he died on 10 October 1668 in Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut; that he was buried in the Old Cemetery in North Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut; that his wife was "Ann Bishop Clark (1622-1672)", and that his children included "Sarah Clark Cornwall (1654-1717)".

"Anne Bishop" is listed in the book "Clergymen & Chiefs: A Genealogy of the MacQueen & MacFarlane Families", by Alexander McQueen Quattlebaum, 1990, p.173, as follows: "John Bishop, immigrant ancestor, came to Guilford, Conn., as a member of Rev. Henry Whitfield's company on 10 September 1639. His wife Anne and their six children accompanied him. Nothing is known of the birthplaces and dates of birth of the children of John and Anne Bishop, inasmuch as they were all born before their parents came to America. The children, although possibly not in order of succession were: 1) John Bishop, ?-October 1683; married Susannah Golham, 13 December 1650; 2) Stephen Bishop, ?-June 1690; married Tabitha Wilkinson; 3) Bethia Bishop, ?-January 1676; married James Steele; 4) Sarah Bishop, ?-30 September 1657; married George Chatfield; 5) Anne Bishop, ?-3 January 1672; married (2) Thomas Clarke on 1 May 1652; 6) Mary Bishop, ?-14 September 1676; married George Hubbard."
