John Mack --- John Mack is on the short list of those who planned to transport their families to Marlow in the spring of 1772. Again we have the problem that there are several contenders for the honor of signing the 1772 petition, all named John Mack, and all in some way connected to Marlow.

Sarah Bennett’s maternal grandmother is Sarah Champion, an ancestor of other Marlow dwellers. His paternal grandparents are John Mack and Sarah Bagley (again) and his maternal grandparents are Henry Bennett and Sarah Champion, all of whom have links to Marlow though their descendants. This John Mack’s wife is Sarah Beckwith, another Marlow link, who was born in Lyme in 1745 She died Jan. 3, 1836. The pair had several children: Two [sic], Azubah, and Caroline who was born March 21, 1761 in East Haddam, just up the Connecticut River from Lyme.
