Notes - Deacon of the First Church of Northampton.
Said in many online genealogies to have died "from fatigue and cold taken in a snow storm" while traveling home to Northampton from Boston. The records of Northampton note for 3 Sep 1704 "Deacon John Clark died at Winsor". His wife Mary Strong was born in Windsor, Connecticut (near Hartford) and had inherited property there; it's conceivable that he was there in some fashion connected to that. One wonders about that snowstorm on the third of September, though -- quite early even for eighteenth-century New England.
