  • Notes: 

  • The Colrain vital records list a birth for Polly Clark, daughter of Ichabod Clark, on 06 FEB 1779. This record apparently was originally published in “Pen Pictures of Early Settlers of the Wilson Family” by B. F. Severance. However, this date is about 13 years earlier than what is expected for Polly as other records point to circa 1792 as the year of her birth. It seems this record is possibly in error, or perhaps this record is for an earlier daughter named Polly who died young although no death record or later birth records are recorded for Polly Clark.
