He was also in Captain William Belcher's company, Colonel Jedediah Huntington's regiment, enlisting May 12, 1777, for three years, discharged May 12, 1780. He died at Lebanon, September 27, 1807. He married, June 26, 1755, Sarah Cushman, a lineal descendant of Robert Cushman, who obtained the patent for the Plymouth colony, hired the "Mayflower" to transport the pioneers. Cushman came to Plymouth in 1621; his son Thomas married Mary Allerton, daughter of Isaac, who came in the "Mayflower", and the descendants of Samuel and Sarah (Cushman) Clark are eligible to the Society of Mayflower Descendants. She died April 18 1812." Samuel and Sarah Cushman Clark had 11 children: Samuel (died young), Asaph (died young), Sarah, Parthena, Deborah, Eliphas, Elijah, William, Samuel (2nd), Lora, Asaph (2nd). Samuel 2nd (1777-1861) settled in Vermont and his bio is in the Annals of Brattleboro 1681-1895. compiled by Mary R. Cabot vol 1, 1921. " page 482. Biographical Sketches of the Graduates of Yale College and Annals of the College History October 1701-May 1745: Thomas Tousey ..."married in 171 7, Hannah, daughter of Captain Samuel Clark, of Milford, Connecticut, and through his descendants the name has been honorably perpetuated in Connecticut. His wife's father died in 1725, leaving a large landed estate, but no will ; and the eldest son, Samuel Clark, Jr., of Milford, appealed to the Superior Court for a reversal of the decree of the New Haven Probate Court (dated February 28, 1726-7), dividing the estate, real as well as personal, according to the old law of the Colony (1699) equally among all the children, excepting a double portion to the eldest son. Before this appeal was acted on, a similar appeal made by another party had been carried to England, and unexpectedly sustained by the King in Council, on the ground that the Connecticut statute was contrary to the laws of the realm. The principle involved was important, since the titles to land acquired under the old law would be unsettled if the law were pronounced invalid ; and when Samuel Clark, Jr., having compounded with all the other co-heirs, was unable to overawe Captain Tousey, all the Colony was interested. Clark carried his appeal to England, and in 1742 the General Assembly voted; L500 to Captain Tousey for the defence of his suit, and instructed the Colony's Agent in London to retain able counsel to assist and defend him. He did not go to England himself, but in July, 1745, an order was finally passed in Council dismissing Clark's petition."
