marriage, be built a house and carpenter's shop, near Cross's Mills, and there lived till 1834, when he sold; went to res. with the Canter- bury Shakers for one year, and left with them his only surviving son, who has since become a leading member of their society. He " never attended school a day in his life "; h uce could neither read nor make figures, but measured lumber by a rule taught him by his consin, Esq. James [114], and could carry any number, even to 109,000 feet, accu- rately in his head ! He was of stalwart frame, six feet two inches, weighing 240 pounds ; had also, naturally, a great intellect ; ** was built for a philosopher." One of his first pieces of important busi- ness, after getting his trade as a framer, was the framing of the upper portion of the State Capitol, at Coneord, in 1817, the mechanic who did the lower framework " not venturing to do the upper" ! But dam build- ing chiefly ocenpied him through life. Like his brother Joseph [43], with great mechanical genius, he was much given to studying hydraulic science and art. In 1823, being called to Boston to superintend the erection of a tide-water dam, he received. on returning, the title of " Boston JJohn," to distinguish him from " six other John Clarks" in Sanbornton. The original dam at Walter Aiken's factory, in Frank- lin (built 1818), that at Bristol, on the Peinigewasset, the Amsden dam at Fisherville, Sewall's Falls dam, and the great dam, which finally stood at Lawrence. Mass., are among the mounments of his genins and oversight. No man "could so easily and surely as he conquer an ugly spot of water-power." Ile d. in the house where m., in Northfield, 1874, ae. S4.

He was member and president of the New Hamp- shire State Senate in 1836, having previously been clerk of the House of Representatives ; was also register of probate for Merrimack Co., 1839-43. For a whole generation he was well known, not only in the vicinity of his home, but all over the State, for his general intelli- gence, and his readiness to conmunicate of his stores of information both in matters pertaining to his own business, and on more general, practical, and scientifie questions. He was especially versed in the local history of this part of our State; became an acknowledged anthority, and drew up several papers and interesting statements respecting the archeology and Indian history of the Winnipiseogee Valley, and on other kindred topics, some of which were published,
