  1. 1.  Weston Clarke was born 5 Apr 1648; died 6 Oct 1730; was buried , Golden Hill Cemetery, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    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. For this reason, his name shows up frequently in the North Kingstown land records. The other three men were: Philip Tillinghast, Richard Greene, and Randall Holden.

    Weston married Mary Easton 25 Dec 1668. Mary died Bef Nov 1691. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:
