According to the History of New Haven County, Connecticut, Volume 1, edited by John L. Rockey, In 1657, a Captain Thomas Clark, John Cooper and John Winthrop, Jr., had an interest in the New Haven Iron Works as the master. John Winthrop sold his part to Thomas Clark. Thomas Clark sold out in 1680.

I know he had some children, grandchildren come to Lyme, Connecticut, but what about East Haven/New Haven?
I am looking for the father of John Clarke/Clark, the servant of Roger Alling of New Haven. In 1662/3 he was accused of running away several times and at least two times, John Clark's father brought him back to Roger Alling's house when he caught him. I think he would be born in about 1645-1650? Another time, in 1665, he was accused of late night romancing with Mary Fuller. Both instances names he was publicly whipped.
Is this John Clark the son of Captain Thomas Clarke? Or was there another Clark around that was the father of this servant, maybe a Samuel Clark? The NH Court records mention the father going to LECTURE when he brought him back to Mr. Alling. What would that indicate, that he was with the church?

The servant is too young to be the John Clark b. 1637 of New Haven as he was already married and inherited his father's estate when he turned 21 in 1658.
