Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of Nathaniel Clarke of Newbury, Mass: Ten Generations, 1642-1885 This book I knew 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 I have obtained records with comparative ease.
