TEN GENERATIONS, 1642-1885. 1 BY GEORGE K. CLARKE, LL.B.,• Member of the JVeto England Historic Genealogical Society. SECOND EDITION. REVISED ANDENLARGED. BOSTON: PRESS OF T. R. MARVIN& SON/ 1885. i \ PREFACE FTER a rather discouraging experience of more than four years incollecting material, Ipublished in the fall of 1882, a genealogy of the descend­ ants of Nathaniel Clarke of Newbury. This book Iknew to be imperfect, but hoped that it would awaken a more general interest in the matter, and enable me to obtain more complete records for a second edition. The result justified my expectations, although only a por­ tion of the edition was sold, and since then Ihave obtained records with comparative ease. \ In the preparation of the second edition great care has been taken incopying manuscripts and inreading proof, to avoid errors if possible ;but there are doubtless some, as in a work of this kind it is well'High impossible to exclude them alto­ gether. Often Ihave received conflicting records from differ­ ent sources, and inmany instances have made persistent effort to learn which were correct. It willbe noticed that in a very few instances in the earlier generations, Ihave a record of the birth of male children and know nothing further of them, un­ less itbe the mere fact that they lived to manhood, and it is reasonable to suppose that some of them have descendants ; 4 PREFACE. t but the most diligent research, and the investigation of every clue, has failed to discover any trace of these "lines. In the arrangement of the genealogy, the Register Meth­ " od has been substantially adopted as the most common and familiar one, and because itis desirable to have some uniform system in general use. Inorder to keep the work within rea­ sonable limits,the author has been obliged to exclude the re­ cord of more than one generation of descendants of other names, except incertain special cases. The previous edition contained records of about 624 persons of the name of Clarke, and of comparatively few of other names, while the present edition contains records of more than 900 persons of the name of Clarke, and of a large number of other descendants. Among the many who have rendered me valuable assist­ ance, and who have my sincere thanks, Rev. John Clark of Rumney, Rev. Jacob Chapman of Exeter, Amos S. Clark of Sandown, Enoch Henry Clark of Greenland, Rev. Amos H. Clark of Piermont, Mrs. John S. Hanaford of Campton, and Miss Mary Norris of Stratham, all in New Hampshire, are entitled to especial mention, as without their aid itwould have been exceedingly difficult for me to have procured these records. The gratitude of all who are interested in the publication of this genealogy is due to the Hon. John Badger Clarke of Manchester,- N.H., for the very generous and substantial en­ couragement which he has extended to both editions of the family record. Itis to be regretted that more biographical sketches have not been obtained, but as a rule the family have shown a remarkable readiness to do the best in their power, and have in many instances cheerfully put themselves to much trouble to collect the desired records. The first edition was published PREFACE. 5 topreserve fast perishing records, and the second is offered to the family in the hope that, while still more fullyaccomplish­ ing that object, itmay prove interesting to them and to future generations. Let all corrections and additions be sent to me as soon as possible, as only a portion of the sheets willbe bound at present, and the additions can appear with the latter part of the edition in the form of an appendix. Allcommunications may be addressed to GEORGE K. CLARKE, 18 Somerset St., Boston, NATHANIEL CLARKE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. PART I. HE town ofNewbury, Mass., was settled about 1635 by English emigrants. "Some princi­ pal inhabitants of Ipswich obtaining leave of General Court to remove to Inascacunquen began a town at that place, and called it Newbury, and Mr. Parker a learned minister who had been in the ministry with Mr.Ward at Ipswich accompanied them." (Holmes's Annals of America.) In the Winthrop Me­ morials it is said: "Mr. Parker and the people with whom he now removed, came from Wiltshire, England." There is very strong evidence that Nathaniel Clarke was nearly related to the Clarkes at Ipswich,* but ?According to Savage and other authorities, there were not less than forty different families of the name of Clarke who came to New Englaud prior to 1700. Of several of these races extensive genealogies have been, published, and there is much in print relating to others. 8 NATHANIEL CLARKE some of the earliest records of that town are lost, and the author has been unable to ascertain anything definite of him previous to his marriage in 1663. From 1665 to '69 Newbury was divided by a bitter controversy between the friends of Rev. Mr. Parker and those of Mr. Edward Woodman, a man of talents and ability. Mr. Woodman affirmed that "Mr.Parker would set up a Prelacy, and have more power than the Pope, for the Pope had his council of Cardinals." Nathaniel Clarke and many other prominent men were of Mr. Parker's party. (See Coffin's Hist, of Newbury.*) He was a witness to a petition dated 13 Mar. 1669, to the Court at Ipswich relative to this dissension, and his name appears throughout the controversy. " 11 Sep. 1666, he signed the petition of Newbury relative to the King's displeasure." 29 Apr. 1668, he was admitted Freeman. In 1670 Nathaniel was chosen "to" layout ye high way to ye Ferry place in Amesbury in company with William Chandler, and the trace of the old road as laid out by them over Bailey's Hillis stillvisible. 11 Oct. 168 1, he signed the petition for a magistrate for Newbury. 24 Mar. 1682, he with three others made an in­ ventory of the estate of George Carr. In 1683" William Morse of Newbury appointed "his loving friends Capt." Daniel Peirce, Tristram Coffin* and Nathaniel Clarke overseers ofhis will. * Allthe town histories and genealogies referred to inthis work can be found in the library of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, 18 Somerset Street, Boston. ANDHIS DESCENDANTS. 9 InMay, 1684, ne was appointed naval officer for the ports of Newbury and Salisbury by the General Court, and 4 June, 1685, ensign of Capt. Daniel Peirce's com­ pany at Rowley, vice Stephen Greenleaf promoted. Capt. Peirce and other officers petitioned for these promotions 25 May, 1685 stating that Nathaniel Clarke was the oldest sergeant in the company. (Mass. State Archives.) 1685" the estate of John Hutchins was indebted to Mr. Nathaniel Clarke of Nubery." 19 June, 1686, he was chosen one of the com­ mittee, composed of the leading men of the town, to arrange the division among the freeholders of a large tract of common land lying" above* Artichoke River, afterwards known as the Rate lots," and agreeably to the report forty-five acres were set off to him and his eldest son. There is at Salem" an Indenture, made 26 March, 1686, between Robert Downer of Salisbury, Massa­ chusetts, Colony of New England, House Carpenter," and "Nathaniel Clark of town of Newbury in County and Colony aforesaid, cordwainer, for 10 £ silver money Bradbury marsh in Salisbury, mortgage to secure payment of said money discharged in manner following 28 Feb. 1687.

On my return to this place Ihad discource with several persons, the most consider­ able of that town, that by want of justices of the peace, noth­ ing hath been done at the meeting of those inhabitants for settling the rates and other concerns of the publick. Mr. Woodbridge, one of the justices is very ancient and crazy and seldom goes abroad ; Mr. Dumraer the other justice lives six miles frdtn the place and therefore very unfit for that service for the town of Newbury, besides his other qualities in not being of the- loyal party as he ought to be. Idoe therefore entreat of your excellency, that in the commission of the peace my two friends, Daniel Peirce and Nathaniel Clarke may be put, which Iassure myself willbe for his ma­ jesty's service and to your excellency's satisfaction. There are no military commissions sent to this place and therefore Idoe entreat your excellencys favour that commissions be sent these following persons : Daniel Davison, Captain of horse for Newbury and Rowley ; Stephen Greenleaf junior, lieutenant ; George March cornet. Of the first Com­ pany. Thomas Noyes Captain ; Stephen Greenleaf senior, lieutenant ;James Noyes Ensign. Of the second Company ; Nathaniel Clarke *****captain ; John March lieutenant ; Moses Gerrish ensign. Your excellencys servant, ROBERT MASON. (Mason^was of the Governor's Council.

    Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure Updated September 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41074 SUMMARY R41074 Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and September 1, 2021 Implementation of the Appointment Ida A. Brudnick Specialist on the Congress Procedure According to its website, the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is responsible “for the operations and care of more than 18.4 million square feet of facilities, 570 acres of grounds and thousands of works of art.” Pursuant to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1990, the Architect is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Prior to the enactment of this law, the President appointed the Architect for an unlimited term with no formal role for Congress. The act also established a 10-year term for the Architect as well as a bicameral, bipartisan congressional commission to recommend candidates to the President. As subsequently amended in 1995, this law provides for a commission consisting of 14 Members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House, the President pro tempore of the Senate, the House and Senate majority and minority leaders, and the chair and ranking minority members of the Committee on House Administration, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. An Architect may be reappointed. Alan M. Hantman was the first Architect appointed under the revised appointment procedure. He declined to seek reappointment and served from January 30, 1997, to February 4, 2007. Stephen T. Ayers, who served as Acting Architect of the Capitol following Mr.

Letterbooks. Bound letterbooks. Volume 3, 1803-1818 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Historical Note The Academy has received letters, announcements, and other forms of correspondence since the founding in 1780. All such correspondence was the responsibility of the Corresponding Secretary, one of the original officers of the Academy. Beginning sometime in the late 1800s, incoming letters were pasted into bound scrapbooks, which the Academy referred to as “letterbooks.” This practice continued until 1988, when staff began saving correspondence in folders. For the time period covered by Volume 3, the Presidents of the Academy were John Adams (1791-1814) and Edward Augustus Holyoke (1814-1820). The Corresponding Secretaries were John Quincy Adams (1802-1809) and Josiah Quincy (1809-1823). Scope and Content The series of letterbooks in its entirety includes letters from newly-elected Fellows, formally accepting their elections; communications with other learned societies (especially, invitations to attend meetings or send representatives to official events, and offers to exchange publications); correspondence concerning gifts of books, maps, and natural history specimens; and inquiries from members and non- members regarding the submission and publication of articles. Volume 3 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy from 1803 to 1818. Most of this incoming correspondence pertains to the election of members and other administrative duties.
