| Notes for Samuel Clark |
| Birth was probably 1652/3. |
| Notes for Elizabeth (Spouse 1) |
| In 1676 she was among the 23 persons presented at the court in Northampton "for wearing silk in a flaunting manner and for long hair and other extravagances contrary to honest and sober order, and demeanor not becoming a wilderness state, at least the profession of christianity and religion." Each was admonished and ordered to pay clerk's fees of 2s. 6d. each, and "so acquitted." People continued to ignor the so-called "sumptuary laws", and after 1678 nothing more is heard of them.21 |
