MR. - CLARKE. He, with his wife and children, settled on the farm now known by the name of the Cook farm, on Bald Hill, about the year 1743.
He, with two or three of his sons, were cut down by a violent fever, which deprived the family of its help, about A. D. 1754.
The family soon left the place, and it afterward came into the hands of Isaac Graham, who lived on it through his lifetime.
But little is known of the family.
THOMAS CAVERLEE, married Sarah, daughter of Isaac and Sarah Graham, and resided for many years, at the corner of the old roads, some sixty rods east of his father Graham's house, on Bald Hill; Mr. Caverlee's house stood near the north-east corner of the lot, south of the road on land now belonging to Gideon M. Case. After 1800, he resided at different places. He was a soldier of the Revolu- tion, but died before the pension law was enacted, so that he, with many others died poor, without having received any just compensation for their services and suffering in their country's cause.
