Biography of James Clark(1780-1848)-W10

 

I a bit hesitant on the next two biographies as there is not as much supporting documentation as I would like.  These links do have some DNA matches, which does help support them.  So here goes.

James Clark was born on September 30th, 1780 to Ezra Clark and Sarah Howe in Williamsburg, MA.  I have seen one entry saying he was born in Belchertown, MA, but can not validate this.  He was the second of seven children.  His father died in 1805 in WIlliamsburg, when James was 24 years old.  At some point before 1808, James moved to Northampton.

On September 25th, 1808, James married Anna Francis Warren in Williamsburg, MA.  She was the daughter of Mather Warren and Esther Hart.  Their first child, Frances Clark was born in 1815.  They had a second child, Jonas Warren Clark in December 1820 in Northampton.  He eventually moved to Portland, ME.  Their last child, Harriet Mills Clark was born on December 17th, 1822 in Northampton.  

Anna died on June 17th, 1830 and James passed away on April 18th, 1848.  He was listed as being a 68 year old farmer who died of fits.  He is buried in Bridge Street Cemetery.
