Notes for Abraham CLARK

He received land next to Richard and Benjamin Clark per his father's will.
C.C. Gardner probably thought that this Abraham Clark married twice because of a bequest in the will of Daniel Meeker [25 September 1757, Essex County, New Jersey] in which Meeker made bequests to "Abraham Clark's daughters by his present wife."
