There has been speculation in print that her maiden name was Moore, but this has not been documented and was not accepted by Charles Carroll Gardner or recent genealogists. On this, there is an interesting discussion in Clark & Allied
Families, by Field, (1971) [copy in N.J. State Library, Trenton, N.J.].
[295]
"Richard Clark may have been distantly related to Thomas Moore, or his wife, and in all probability was indentured to him as an apprentice. Thomas Moore was a shipwright and a prominent and wealthy individual, and was believed to have been a
cousin or some relative of Sir Thomas Moore. It is quite possible that Richard Clark was the son of Richard Clark of Bradwell, Suffolk County, England, the same county from which Thomas Moore came. Young Richard Clark lived with the Moore
family for many years while learning the ship-building trade. . . .
[297]
"He is next heard of in Southampton, L.I., where he and the Moores had settled by 1661. At the Town Meeting held 19 November of that year, he was granted the 'first lot at the Oyster Pounds with 60 poles.' He is not listed as an early
inhabitant of Southampton, probably because he was living with the Moores, who were listed. Sometime in 1660, 1661 or possibly before, he married an Elizabeth, whose last name is unknown, either in Salem or after arrival in Southampton. There
has been some discussion as to whether his wife was Elizabeth Moore, the daughter of Thomas Moore. This does not seem feasible as she was born 31 January 1646/7 which would have made her very young to be married in 1660, and she is supposed to
have married Simon Grover, so Elizabeth's surname remains a mystery. . . ."
[299]
[Note: the above discussion of Richard Clarke living with the Moores is, itself, not fully documented, but is based by Field on publication by Elmer Sayres Clark, which has some erroneous conclusions. The discussion of possible parentage of
Richard based upon another Richard Clark living in Suffolk County, England, being the same county as the Moore family, is also pure speculation and, while a subject which might be pursued, is certainly not sufficient to establish any connection
at this time. - Ref# 41 - Harman R. Clark, Jr.] ®23
