External Links WikiTree: William Clarke (1586-1647)
William Clarke's first wife (name unknown). With her, he had three children, including Sarah, our ancestor. William remarried in 1636 to Katherine Franklin (the Widow Gedney). They emigrated to New England by 1637, accompanied by the three children of his first marriage William, Thomas and Sarah, and at least two of Katherine's children by her first marriage, Robert and Rebecca Prince.In 1645 William was an innkeeper and proprietor of "The Ship's Tavern" in Salem, Massachusetts. He was quite a wealthy man, a property owner and an officer in Salem's military company. He probably enjoyed a relatively superior social position as he is described several times as "Mr. Clarke." in the Salem Town records. William died suddenly in the summer of 1647, he could have been a victim of an "epidemical sickness" that had smitten Salem residents in June of that year. He left a large and extesnive estate including a 200-acre farm, two houses, part ownership of two ships, 1500 lbs of tobacco, 3 hogsheds of sugar, 40 lbs of ginger and other food, and all the furnishings in the tavern. His widow Katherine received a license to continue to manage the tavern business.We are descended through the Wright (Tucker) side.
