Re: Chipman's Challenge ...

The argument that Jeremiah/Jeremy Clarke was the son of William and
Mary (Weston) Clerke can be summarized as follows:

a) The given name "Jerome" can also be "Jeremy;" The name he mostly
used was "Jeremy," not "Jeremiah."

b) He had a son named Weston.

c) He was of gentry origin.

d) There weren't enough Clarkes/Clerkes and Westons in early 17th
century Britain for another solution to his ancestry to be credible.

e) His wife was of gentry origin.

f) He named a son "Weston," and the name continued to be used by his
descendants.

What's missing here is a contemporary primary record that Jeremiah/
Jeremy Clarke was the son of William and Mary (Weston) Clerke. Some
people find this circumstantial evidence convincing proof of his
ancestry--I don't. I hope new research is conducted on this
colonist. I ask that discussion of this topic be confined to the
thread, not my email inbox.
