Notes for Jotham CLARK

C.C. Gardner, page 91: "Jotham Clark, 4, son of John 3 and ---- Clark, was born in the Borough of Elizabeth, about 1705. He lived at Connecticut Farms and married Sarah -----. He was Constable in Essex Co., 1740-42. In 1837 (1737?), Jotham
Clark, yeoman, deeded to Matthias Burnet, carpenter, lands bought in partnership with Burnet of Edward Sale. The deed was some years ago in possession of the Burnets of Union. Mr. Clark made his will April 1, 1772 and died the same day.
The will names seven children, the children of his deceased son, Jothan, and grandson Jotham Winans."
Note: Gardner gives Jotham's estimated birth date as 1705, but Gardner also gives his parents' marriage as 1707.
