Sarah, b. Nov. 10, 1774. She united with the church, May 17, 1807, and d. unm. Jan. 28, 1843, aged 69.
34 Isaac Bowen, b. June 29, 1779. He commenced business in Boston, and d. suddenly, July, 1800.
35 Henry, b. Nov. 29, 1780; m. May, 1812, Susan Grafton, of Salem. He commenced business in Boston, and afterwards moved to Ken- nebunk, Me., where he was cashier of a bank. In 1834, he re- turned to Boston, where he is now living in his 89th year. Mr. Clarke long held a commission as Justice and Notary. He has had but two children, both of whom are now living. Henry Graf- ton was born May 14, 1814. He studied medicine, and resides in Boston, occupying a good position in his profession. Jonas Bowen, b. Jan. 16, 1816, was grad. at Dartmouth, 1839. He entered the ministry, was first settled in Conn .; but his health failing him, he returned to Massachusetts, and was settled in Swampscot.
From this glance at the subject, it will be seen that but few fami- ilies can boast of distinction such as has fallen to the lot of Rev. Jonas Clarke's.
OTHER PERSONS BY THE NAME OF CLARKE.
There were several persons by the name of Clarke in the town at different times, whose lineage we have not ascertained. In 1725, the selectmen laid out a " way for the accommodation of the farms that Daniel Hoar and Judah Clarke live on." In the earliest tax bill now extant, 1729, we find Judah Clarke and Judah Clarke, Jr., taxed, the former having two houses, and the latter one. They lived in a part of the town now included in Lin.
We will give what our records contain in relation to the Clarkes, without attempting to classify them.

DAVID COMEE m. Ruhama Brown ? We have found no record of the marriage, but presume it was about 1719, from the birth of their first child, and from the other significant fact, that he was, in 1720, called to the responsible office of looking after the swine - a custom long prevailing of giving this honor to a newly married man. She was ad. to the ch. Aug. 14, 1720, and d. 1730. He m. second, Sarah - , by whom he had most of his children. The record of the family is not perfect. It seems that they buried at least two children in early infancy, one in 1720, and one in 1730. Whether they were some which are mentioned below is not perfectly clear. Sarah, his second wife, was ad. to the ch. May 28, 1738.

THE CUTLER FAMILY.
The Cutlers, always somewhat numerous in Lex., were among the earliest settlers in the place. They came to Lex. from Wat., and were the descendants of James Cutler. There is a tradition in the family, and English records, if they do not confirm, rather favor the position, that Sir Gervase Cutler, who married a daughter of the Duke of Bridgewater, was the ancestor of the Cutlers who came to America. But be this as it may, we feel assured that as early as 1635, JAMES CUTLER was in Wat., and was an original grantee of land in the northerly part of Wat., on the road to Belmont, and in 1649, James Cutler and Nathaniel Bowman purchased of Edward Goffe 200 aeres of land in Cambridge, adjoining Rock-meadow, near the Wat. line. In 1651, he sold his share to Bowman for £39. This was probably the land on which Bowman settled, near the present line of Arling- ton. It is probable that Cutler, and perhaps Bowman, moved from Wat. about this date. Cutler settled at Camb. Farms, near Concord, now Bed., line. A part of this farm was owned till recently by the wid. of John and heirs of Leonard Cutler. His house was situated in the lot back of the present house, -the door step and appearances of the cellar still remain. This must have been one of the first houses erected in the precinct.
He was b. about 1606, and probably married before he came to this country. His wife, Anna, was buried Sept. 30, 1644; and he m. second, Mar. 9, 1645, Mary King, wid. of Thomas King, of Wat., who d. Dec. 7, 1654. He m. third, Phebe Page, dau. of John, about 1662. He d. May 17, 1694, aged about 88. His will, dated Nov. 24, 1684, presented by his sons John and Thomas, and proved Aug. 20, 1694, mentions children James, Thomas, John, John Collar, Richard Park's wife, John Parmenter's wife, Sarah Wait, Mary John- son, Hannah Winter, Joanna Russell (Philip's wife), Jemima, Sam- nel, and Phebe. "This list includes two children of my wife, formerly wife of Thomas King, one of whom was Mary Johnson." (The Mary here alluded to was b. Feb. 2, 1643, and was m. Oct. 19, 1659, to John Johnson.)

He was a valuable and honored citizen, and was often employed in town busi- ness,-was an assessor, constable, and selectman.

ministerial land, and was assigned a place "in ye front gallerye," in 1700, when they seated the meeting house. He must have resided on what is now Weston street, over the brook, on the southerly side of the old Concord turnpike. As early as 1714, John Merriam and Matthew Bridge were appointed a committee to lay a road to accom- modate Nathaniel Stone, Joseph Stone, Robert Merriam, and John Cutler ; and the description of the road leaves no doubt of the gen- eral situation of John Cutler's residence.
