  Notes	Son of William Clark, Sr. (1645-1689). His mother's name is unknown. William Clark, Jr. inherited (probate, 1697) his father's homelot (#18), drawn during the founding of Bedford when lands were laid out in 1681. The location, according to a reconstructed map (Bedford Historical Records, vol. IX, pg. 25), was a 3-acre lot located north of the original town common. His neighbors were John Westcott, Sr. and Jonas Seeley. There are no records to indicate disposition of his house and lot after William,Sr.'s death, but it is assumed it was inherited by his oldest son, John Clark (1695-ca.1780). William married, about 1693, Hannah Ayers, daughter of Richard Ayers of Stamford. The 1710 Bedford Inhabitant List shows: William Clark, freeholder, age 40 yrs; Hannah, his wife, aged 37 years; John Clark, his son, aged 15 years; William Clark, his son, aged 13 years; Ebenezer Clark, his son, aged 6 years; David Clark, 2 years; Jabez Clark , 4 months.
