    Notes:

    When Mary (Clarke) Cranston married John Stanton, she was the widow of Gov. John Cranston (b. 1626).

    Her will identifies her as "Mary Stanton, of Newport, now wife of Capt. John Stanton of Newport, Physician." It mentions her brothers Walter and J. Clarke; and sons (surname Cranston) Caleb (dec'd.), Samuel, John, Benjamin and Henry; daughter Elizabeth (Cranston) Brown; and son Henry Stanton. Based on Henry's date of birth (1688), Mary would have been about 47 years of age when he was born. The will also mentions son-in-law John Brown, grandsons John & Robert Brown; grandson John Cranston, son of Samuel; and granddaughter Mary Cranston.

    Her epitaph reads as follows: "Here lyeth interred the body of Mary Stanton alias Cranston who departed this life ye 7th day of April 1711 in ye 70th year of her age late wife of Capt John Stanton & was ye only wife of Major John Cranston & ye virtuous & worthy mother of ye family here."

  3. 4.  Jeremiah Clarke Descendancy chart to this point (1.Jeremy1) was born Abt 1643; died Abt 16 Jan 1728/29, Newport, Newport Co., RI.

    Notes:

    The will of Jeremiah Clarke of Newport, yeoman, dated 13 June 1728 (codicil 9 Jan 1729), and proved 3 Feb 1728/9, mentions his wife Anne; 5 sons as follows: Weston, James, Samuel deceased, Jeremiah, and Henry; and (probably) 4 daughters: Unnamed Weeden deceased, Anne Greenman, Sarah Weeden, and Frances Sanford deceased. The will also mentions 4 grandsons, all sons of Samuel: John, Audley, Samuel, and Daniel. There are no other Clarke grandsons mentioned. He does mention other grandchildren, children of his two deceased daughters.

    Notes from a family tree at ancestry.com (to be confirmed):
    "Jeremiah, son of Jeremiah Clarke, was born 1643, died January 16, 1729. In 1666 he was a freeman. In 1696-98-99-1700-01-02-03-04-05, he was deputy. He was ordained deacon of the Second Baptist Church in 1701. He deeded one-half of his lands in Providence and in Connecticut to his son James, September 17, 1691, and on the same date, the other half of the above lands to his son-in-law, Jeremiah Weeden, for three pounds, and the sum of three pounds annually during the life of Jeremiah and his wife Ann. He married Ann Audley, who died December 15, 1732. Children: Jeremiah, Henry, James, Samuel, Weston, Frances (born December 15, 1669), Mary (died 1756, married Jeremiah Weeden), Anne (born 1675), and Sarah (died 1729)."

    Note: the above can't be exactly correct, because Mary must be the deceased daughter in the above will, written in 1728. It appears that Mary had to have died before 13 June 1728. One family tree has Mary's sister Sarah marrying her brother-in-law Jeremiah Weeden, after Mary died. That would make more sense. I believed it means to say that Jeremiah Weeden died in 1756.

    Jeremiah married Anna Audley Abt 1665. Anna died 15 Dec 1732. [Group Sheet]

    Weston's will is dated 8 Apr 1725 Newport, proved 5 Apr 1731. It mentions wife Rebecca; sons Jeremiah, Weston, Walter, John, James, & Latham; daughters Mary Duckins and Elizabeth Coggeshall. It appears that both Jeremiah and John are designated as "eldest" which may mean eldest of each of his two wives; however, I have not been able to determine which children are form each wife, other than the four with birth dates I have recorded.

    In 1706 and 1709 (possibly other years) Weston Clarke was one of a committee of four men appointed by the colony of RI to sell vacant lands in Narragansett County.

    Notes:

    Benjamin & Elizabeth moved from Newport to the part of Swansea, MA, which later became Warren, RI. All his children are believed to have been born there, and he lived the rest of his life there.

    According to "Descendants of Gov. John Cranston of Rhode Island," Benjamin was married first to a Miss Thurber, but had no children by her. However, in looking at the birth date of Benjamin III and the marriage date of his father to Elizabeth Estabrook, it seems that Benjamin might have been born to the first wife.

    Benjamin married Elizabeth ESTABROOK 5 Mar 1728/29. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas ESTABROOK, Jr. and Elizabeth THURBER) was born Nov 1703. [Group Sheet]

  8. 55.  John Clarke Descendancy chart to this point (24.Samuel3, 4.Jeremiah2, 1.Jeremy1) was born Abt 1697; died 30 Dec 1767.

    Notes:

    He might be the John Clarke who married Priscilla Barker 29 Aug 1728 Newport -- but this needs more research to confirm.

    There is also a marriage of John Clerk to Abigail Coggeshall, 1 March 1721/22 Newport. This is another possibility.

    There was also a couple named John & Mary Clarke who had a son John born 1733, Newport.

    According to a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, Abigail and Mary were both wives of this Samuel. This seems to be confirmed by gravestones in the Common Buring Ground, Newport. Consequently, I am adding them to this tree. However, I still am not positive that this particular John Clark with these two wives belongs to Audley.

    John — Abigail Coggeshall. Abigail was born 1698; died 21 Oct 1728. [Group Sheet]
