Notes for John CLARK

Some cause for confusion here. The "Proceedings of the NJ Historical Society" list the inscriptions at Connecticut Farms in their 4th series, Volume 9. Included are the following:
"John Clark, d. Apr. 25, 1825, in 54th yr. Wife Mary d. Apr. 18, 1835, aged 62 yrs., 3 dys. Isaac (son) d. Oct. 28, 1816, aged 17 yrs., 4 mos., 17 dys., John Jefferson (son) d. Sept. 23, 1801, aged 11 mos. Peggy (dau), died May 5, 1805, aged 18
mos., Aaron (son) died July 25, 1819 aged 25 yrs., 5 mos. at Cincinatti, Ohio."
While it is conceivable that this couple had this many children, more evidence is needed. Twins?
*****
A "true and perfect inventory of all and singular goods, chattles, rights & credits of John Clark" was performed by James W. Wade and Joseph Bonnel in May, 1825. The inventory indicates that Mr. Clark was a general farmer, with some carpentry skills.
Jotham Clark, his son, attested to the fact that the inventory was complete.
*****
Perhaps lived in Albany [NY?] as per accounts of brother Jotham Clark after his death, but this doesn't seem feasible.
