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.

"John Clark" is described in the book "Deacon George Clark(e) of Milford, Connecticut, and some of his descendants", by George Clarke Bryant and Donald Lines Jacobus, 1949, pages 3-7. This book is available online at: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE937769. This book states the following about John Clark:
"'Farmer' George Clark had received from his brother John one hundred pounds to be given to his children. 'Elder' John Clark of Saybrook and Milford had a family of his own. It does seem unlikely that he would have made such a gift to his nephew and nieces. He makes no mention of them in his will, nor of any brothers. 'Farmer' George had a comfortable estate. There are, on the Milford records, a large number of deeds from his children. No real proof has been found that 'Elder' John and 'Farmer' George were brothers. Where this tatemetn has been made, it is based solely on the fact that 'Farmer' George had a brother John."
Research Note: In July 2016 research verified that 'Farmer' George Clark and 'Elder' John Clark were brothers, who had been christened in Kimpton, Hertfordshire, England, and later came to and settled in Connecticut."John Clark" is listed in the book "History of the Colony of New Haven to Its Absorption Into Connecticut", by Edward Elias Atwater, 1902, p.645, which states the following: "George Clark (16-- 1690), the "Farmer," was a brother of Hon. Daniel Clark (16-- 16--) of Windsor, Conn., one of the patentees under the [1662] charter from [King] Charles II. They with their brother John Clark (16-- 16--) of Guilford, came from England, where they had property which is mentioned in the wills of these three brothers; possibly Samuel Clark of New Haven was another brother.

"John 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: "Thomas Clark, of Milford, Connecticut, probably brother of George Clark Jr., of Milford, and of John Clark, of Saybrook, who came from ---, Hertfordshire, England;...."
"John Clark" is mentioned in the book "Noyes-Gilman Ancestry", 1907, as follows: "George Clark mentions in his will [of 1690] his three brothers, John, Edward, and Daniel. Of these, Edward had apparently remained in England, and had left a legacy of one hundred pounds to George's children some years before. John is supposed to be Mr. John Clark, of Hartford, who was one of the most influential settlers in the colony. He was a soldier in one of the battles with the Pequots in 1637, one of the patentees of the Royal Charter in 1662, and deputy almost continuously from 1641 to 1665. The brother Daniel may probably have been the Hon. Daniel Clark, who as a boy came to Windsor, Conn., about 1639....".

"Daniel Clark" is described in the book "Deacon George Clark(e) of Milford, Connecticut, and some of his descendants", by George Clarke Bryant and Donald Lines Jacobus, 1949, pages 3-7. This book is available online at: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE937769. This book states the following about Daniel Clark:
"The will of 'Farmer' George Clark of Milford dated Apr. 25, 1690, gives to his son John Clark the home lot that was his brother Daniel Clark's. ...The home lot in Milford (it had a house upon it), which was granted to Daniel Clark, apparently came into the possession of his brother George, from whom it passed to his son John, and probably from him, by inheritance, to his sister Mary (wife of Samuel Clark), thence to Samuel, and from him to his daughter Sarah Rogers. 'Farmer' George, in his will, refers to a small parcel of copyhold in old England and states 'I understand that Mr. Whiteing hath not yet finished with my Brother Daniell Clark. If he gets ye land I doe give it to my Son John Clark.' Letter from Samuel Sewall of Boston to Mr. Daniel Clarke in Coleman Street, London, 'meal-man,' dated Jan. 2, 1701/2 refers to Mr. Whiting's failure to distribute among the children of George Clarke of Milford the estate due them. From the above I have been included to the opinion that Daniel Clark, brother to 'Farmer' George, did not come to this county [America]. If he did, he soon returned, as did some of the other Milford settlers.""Daniel Clark" is listed in the book "History of the Colony of New Haven to Its Absorption Into Connecticut", by Edward Elias Atwater, 1902, p.645, which states the following: "George Clark (16-- 1690), the "Farmer," was a brother of Hon. Daniel Clark (16-- 16--) of Windsor, Conn., one of the patentees under the [1662] charter from [King] Charles II.
