William died on 22 Jul 1681 in Haddam. [Ref][Ref]
The name of William's wife is (apparently) to be found no where in the records
except possibly in John Winthrop Jr.'s medical journal. On 23 May 1664, Winthrop
says that he treated "Clark, William his wife Katherine of Hartford".
[Ref, p. 446] In his 3 Aug 1683
will Thomas Bunce left his sister Katharen Clark £10. [Ref,
pp. 283-4] This suggests that William's wife might be Katherine Bunce.

Connecticut Court for 'misdemeanor in drinking' and corporal punishment was
suspended upon promise of improved behaviour. [Ref, 1;41]

William was one of the 28 original proprietors of a large tract of land now
included in Haddam. [Ref]

amounted to £412-18-00. He mentions his wife; his sons William, Thomas,
John, Joseph; his son-in-law Daniel Hubbard and grandchild Daniel Hubbard; his
daughters Welles, Fennoe and Spencer and his daughter Hannah. He says that it
is his will that his grandson Daniel Hubbard be taught to read and write and
that he is to be at the disposal of his wife as long as she lives and to his
son after than, until he is 21. If his father objects 'he shall satisfy for
his bringing up'. [Ref,
