Notes for Samuel Sherrerd CLARK

From Snell, James P., History of Sussex and Warren Counties. P. 502-524:
SAMUEL S. CLARK was born at Flemington, Hunterdon Co., N.J., Nov. 8, 1825.(46*) He is a son of the Rev. John F. Clark, and a grandson of the Rev. Joseph Clark, D.D. The latter served during the Revolution on Washington’s staff. Gen. John Maxwell, of
Revolutionary memory, was Dr. Clark’s great-uncle. Samuel S. received his preparatory education at the school of the Rev. John Vanderveer, of Easton, and in 1841 was admitted to Lafayette College. After remaining there two years he entered the junior
class at Princeton, and was graduated in 1845. In 1848 he was graduated from the Medical Department of the University of New York, and the same year established himself in practice at Belvidere, N.J. (at first in partnership with his uncle, Dr. W.P.
Clark, which continued until the latter’s death), where he still resides and practices his profession. He is a member of the American Medical Association, and of the New Jersey State and Warren County Medical Societies, joining the latter in 1849, and
was its president in 1865. In 1879 he was appointed by Governor McClellan one of the managers of the State Lunatic Asylum, at Morris Plains. In 1854 he married Jane C., daughter of James C. Kennedy, M.D., of Warren County.
46*) A typographical error in the recently-published "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties" makes Dr. Clark’s birth occur in 1845. It should read 1825.
