C.C.Gardner, page 21: John Clark 2, son of Richard and Elizabeth Clark, was born at Southampton, about 1665. He came to Elizabeth Town and was married before 1687 to Mary ___, who joined him in deed to Benjamin Griffith June 25, 1687. He was one of the Elizabethtown Associates in 1699, and his name appears about the same time on the several petitions to the King, complaining of the treatment accorded the settlers by the Proprietors.
May 20, 1686 he was patented 120 acres of land at Rahway, at an annual rental of 1/2 d. per acre. In 1700 John, Samuel and Thomas Clarke were members of a party including about sixty of the "Rabbell of Elizabethtowne" who rescued Samuel Burwell of Newark from the hands of the constable in 1700. These brothers, however were in good company, for the party included representatives of nearly all of the most prominent families of E.T. John Clark married 2.

CAPRON Banfield Capron, the American immigrant, was born, it is said, at Chester, Flintshire, England. He was undoubtedly born about 1660 in the north of England. He left England as a stowaway with three other boys, each about fourteen years old. After a few years he settled in Rehoboth, now Barrington, Rhode Island, then part of Massachusetts. After twenty years he removed with a large family of children to what is now Attleboro, Massachusetts, where he purchased a large tract of land between Bungay river and the falls. A part of this farm which he cleared is now known as the Lucas Daggett place. He also had land from the estate of his first wife, who was a daughter of John Callender, who lived on the site of the house lately owned by Philip Brady. Capron owned land also in what is now Farmers Village and built his first house on the present site of the late James N. Dean's house. His second house was near the site of a house built by the late B. J. Angell, on his farm which still goes by the name of the Jacob Capron farm. | Capron, Banfield (I19335)

Capt. John, like his father, was a sea captain and an ardent Quaker. He made frequent voyages to London and there met and married an English lady, Alice, daughter of Edmund Teddeman of the British Navy in 1684. After his marriage he resided for two years in London. In 1687 he came to Newport and settled in Jamestown on Conanicut Island. He was Deputy from Jamestown in 1698, 1703, 1706-7, and 1709. In 1712 he was Head Warden at Jamestown. On one of his voyages to London he met, and took as an apprentice, the orphan son of a friend, named Charles Wager. The latter's father, also named Charles, had been a captain in the Commonwealth navy and later in 1660, commanded the Yarmouth in the fleet which brought Charles II back to England. The younger Charles was brought up by Captain Hull who taught him navigation. He returned to England, entered the Royal Navy, and became Sir Charles Wager, Admiral of the White and First Lord of the British Admiralty. Sir Charles died in 1743 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where his monument is still to be seen (cf. D.N.B. and THE REGISTER., vol. 102, pp. 276-77). His memory long lingered in the Hull family; some of their sons were given the name of Wager and the Block Island family possessed, in the last century, an engraving of the Admiral. | Hull, John (I46463)

Capt. Samuel CHAPMAN married Margaret GRISWOLD, of Norwich, supposed to be the daughter of Capt. Samuel GRISWOLD (doubtful), and grand-daughter of Lieut. Francis GRISWOLD (possible). Mr. CHAPMAN was a prominent man in Saybrook in civil and military affairs. He resided in what is now the town of Westbrook, and with his wife Margaret, was of the first fourteen persons who were organized into a church at that place, 29 June 1726. Four of his descendants have been successively deacons of that church. The date of Samuel CHAPMAN's decease is not known. !The CHAPMAN Family (1854); Rev. F.W. Chapman
According to Torrey, Margaret born in 1668 married Thomas BUCKINGHAM 16 Dec 1691 at Saybrook. There is no record of Samuel GRISWOLD son of Francis having a daughter named Margaret and the fact that he wasn't married until late in the year 1685 makes it impossible for him to have fathered a child old enough to marry 8 years later. There is another Margaret GRISWOLD who is a niece of Edward GRISWOLD. She is the daughter of John GRISWOLD and Mary BEVINS who was born 10 Dec 1675 making her age 18 at the time of the marriage of Samuel CHAPMAN. This makes much more sense than a bride aged 8. There seems to be no marriage listed for this Margaret, but she did live to maturity. !Families of Early Guilford, CT:531

Capt. Samuel JONES of Saybrook, was made an elector 16 Oct 1667, a constable in 1669, was confirmed by the General Assembly as sergeant of the train band (militia) of Saybrook at a court session of 5 June 1677. "Sarjt Samuel Joanes is confirmed by this Court L(ieutena)nt of Saybrook Traine Band, and John Pratt Ensigne of the sayd Band." He was made Captain on 11 May 1699. It appears that he may have been related to Robert NICHOLS or a relative named Elizabeth who left a will in 1682. Samuel JONES made a claim against this estate which was confirmed by the Court. His will was dated 28 Feb 1703/04. An inventory was taken 2 October 1704.

Capt. THOMAS was a commissioned officer in the War of 1812 and had command of a company at the battle of Sackett's Harbor, NY. He died at the age of seventy years. Sackett's Harbor Battlefield is just west of Watertown, NY in Jefferson Co. The Battle was fought May 28-29, 1813. In summary, a small garrison effectively repulsed an attack from Canada by the British.
Captain Thomas' given name is not clear. A good possibility is that it is George THOMAS based on the following:
Census 1830
George Thomas is enumerated almost next door to John Thomas, a brother to Mehitable (THOMAS) TOWNSEND.
Census 1810 & 1820 at Champion, Jefferson Co. show George's family members include children of ages appropriate to be John and Mehitabel.
George THOMAS was an early settler at Champion, Jefferson Co. He was old enough in 1812 about 35-40, to be a Captain. No war record or pension application has been found.
Mehitabel's father died at age seventy. George THOMAS turned seventy sometime between 1830 and 1840 census and is not found among those enumerated in 1840.
The given name George, doesn't appear in the TOWNSEND line prior to George Warren TOWNSEND, Mehitabel's first born.
More information of Jefferson County THOMAS family:
A few miles below Adams Village, Jefferson County, NY, on Sandy Creek, is a locality known as the Thomas Settlement. It was here the Thomas family settled during the early years of the century, and some authorities assert as early as 1800. In the family were four brothers, William, Benjamin, Ezra and Ira, who came from Windham County, Vermont, and made a clearing. In the next year they were followed by their widowed mother and two younger brothers, Elihu and Joel. The Thomas brothers were instrumental in clearing many fine farms in the southwest part of the town, and were withal, thrifty and industrious settlers; and if all memories of the family be true, the brothers were not lacking in patriotism, and served with the militia in the defense of Sacketts Harbor. For many years the Thomas drum and bugle corps was one of the institutions of Adams. Many descendants of the family are still in the county. At the corners where the Thomas improvement was begun, a Capt. Barney opened a public house about 1810, and soon after opened a stock of goods in connection with his tavern. Later he moved to Watertown, where he also kept a tavern, but was afterward accidentally drowned in the Black River.

Capt. William Holbrook married (1) Elizabeth _____, daughter of widow Elizabeth Pitts, who died in 1696. He married (2) Abigail Wright, who survived. She was widow of Robert Sharp and of Thomas Clapp of Scituate. He resided in Weymouth until about 1663, when he removed to Mendon. The Indians drove him back in 1676 and thereafter he settled in Scituate. To his son Cornelius he gave his lands in Weymouth, he to pay his own daughter Mehitable Holbrook L5 at marriage. He bequeathed to his daughters Elizabeth Buck, Hopestill Reed, Mehitable Sprague and Jane Balcom, and to his son William, and Samuel, whom he calls eldest son. He had seven children by his first wife. In his will he left property to his wife, Abigail. Savage and others assign a daughter Persis to William. A Persis HOLBROOK married John FARROW of Hingham 20 Apr 1696, and lived to have many children. It is strange however that she was not mentioned in his will if she were indeed a daughter. Perhaps she was of the next generation. !Massachusetts and Maine Families, 290 !M&J 22:143 !Genealogies of the Early Families of Weymouth !Vinton Memorial gives differing information: Capt. William Holbrook, m. previous to 1655, Elizabeth Pitts, who died his widow in Scituate, 1701. He was freeman 1647; of Weymouth 1655-1662, and probably most, or all, of his previous life. In 1660, he bought land in Conihasset [Cohasset] then part of Scituate, but did not settle upon it. He had an allotment of land in Mendon, 1662, and must have settled there that year or the next. (Several other families from Braintree and Weymouth settled in Mendon at that time). He was doubtless there until "Phillip's War," 1675, when Mendon was destroyed by the savages. He then returned to Weymouth; sold his land in Mendon to his brother Thomas and nephew Peter; and afterwards resided at Scituate. He was Captain and Deacon. | Holbrook, William Captain (I5916)

Captain Robert Pond was a house carpenter in Dedham. He became possessed of land in Wrentham either by division or purchase previous to 10 Jan 1693-93 when he petitioned that his land might be surveyed and measured. 6 July 1696, he was granted lot 5 on "mine brook," a stream which after a lapse of nearly two-hundred years is known by the same name (1873). By subsequent grants he became the possessor of a very considerable estate in that locality and lived to the ripe age of eighty-three years to enjoy it. The inventory of his estate exhibits a valuation of 184 pounds. His son Baruch was appointed 22 Aug 1750, the executor of his will.

Catherine wife of WALTER COOK(E):
Walter Cooke Weymouth and later of Mendon, Mass. died in Mendon 5 January 1695/6, having survived his wife Catherine by only three days. Both left wills. Catherine's last name has not been found and some early mixing of facts led to the belief that she was a Second wife and not the mother of Walter's children (see George Chamberlain History of Weymouth, Mass. 1923. 3:174). This, I believe, has been corrected and the supposed first wife Experience shown to belong to someone else (Nora E. Snow, The Snow Estes Ancestry 1939 1939.2:102-V)
William Brenton, long a resident of Taunton but with land holdings from the Merrimack to Rhode Island, died in in Newport where his will was proved in 1674. The original official copy of the will has survived and is in the possession of of the Newport Historical Society. It includes the following: "I bequeath unto my sister Katerine Cook's children to be paid within one year and a day after my decease (if demanded) twenty pounds in stock at the currant price that my oversear shall appoint." (see John 0. Austin Dictionary of R.I. 1887 p 254).
Any papers which might have indicated the distribution and thus the names sisters children have been lost. Because William Brenton had early land dealings with Thomas Cook of Taunton and Portsmouth, and there was some intermarriages of descendants, a thorough attempt was made to connect Katerine with the family without success. Therefore I submit they she may well have been the wife of Walter Cook of Mendon. Each family named a son Ebenezer, which is hardly proof. It is known however that William Brenton came from Hammersmith, Middlesex, England. It is possible that research there might disclose some evidence.
