The Clark Antecedents of Priscilla Clark of Somerset, England<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard L. Tolman, Ph. D.<\/span><\/p>\n

   Priscilla Clark was born in 1826 in Somerset to James and Fanny (n\u00e9e Hurle) Clark; the Clarks were longtime residents of Buckland-Denham parish in Somerset on the eastern edge of today\u2019s Somersetshire not far from Frome. \u2018Buckland-Denham\u2019 is the old name of the village; the spelling has changed in the last century to \u2018Buckland-Dinham\u2019. The Clarks of Buckland-Denham parish can be traced back to about 1650, although the oldest records are very difficult to read. Nearly all of the Clarks discovered in the lineage apparently married local girls from Somerset (Fanny Hurle excepted).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

   Priscilla\u2019s father James married Fanny Hurle of Rode parish in Somerset (later Wiltshire). The Hurles came to Rode from Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Fanny\u2019s maternal line (Cox) originated in Evercreech parish in central Somerset. Identification of James and Fanny is clear from the Buckland-Denham parish registers as are their children from the christening and burial data. Caution is however required as James\u2019 cousin Elias Clark and his wife Elizabeth (King) Clark were having children in the same parish at the same time; most critical is identification of the children who died young as their parents\u2019 names are not given, but fortunately their ages at death are specified which allowed them to be unambiguously identified.<\/span><\/p>\n

   The ancestry of Priscilla Clark descendents from the Clarks of Buckland-Denham is confirmed by at-DNA<\/b>. Shown in Cluster 1 are DNA matches to ETS (paternal aunt of the author): \u2018Anthea Church\u2019.1<\/a><\/sup>\u2018Rogers and Childs 3\u2019, owner scottchurch18, www.ancestry.com\/family-tree\/tree\/8551909<\/u>; some sources (accessed 11 Aug 2020).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

   –Now for some notes on research methodology: the primary sources for Buckland-Dinham vitae are the parish registers and bishop\u2019s transcripts (BT\u2019s) available at FamilySearch<\/i>. The BT\u2019s (FHL British Film 1526,441) that was searched at the FHL with great difficulty in 2014 has been digitized and can now be viewed online . The parish registers have also been digitized and these online images are \u2018somewhat\u2019 easier to read (the early ones are still extremely difficult). FamilySearch<\/i> and FindMyPast<\/i> (through their collaboration with the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society) have extracted most of the 18th century data and some 17th century data but are presumed to not have had the courage to tackle the 16th and early 17th century registers. This author read all the registers back to 1540 and extracted all the possible Clark vitae<\/i> (baptisms, marriages, and burials\u2014over 125 pieces of data), arranged them chronologically and tried to piece together families, based on the assumption that a homestead or tenancy was retained through time from father to son. Note that not all the data could be assimilated into this descendency.<\/span><\/p>\n

   The logic of this plan is based on the fact that in the 16 and 17th centuries families didn\u2019t move much. After 1066 (Wm the conqueror) all land was owned by the Crown who distributed it to various nobility over the centuries. Farmers did not own their land but were tenants on manorial land. In some cases the payment of rents was administered by the Anglican Church. These long-term leases were passed down from father to son.2<\/a><\/sup>FamilySearch<\/i> wiki. <\/span>,3<\/a><\/sup>Online at Wikipedia, \u2018English Land Law\u2019. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
