Robert Clark, immigrant ancestor, came with the Scotch Irish pioneers to New Hampshire in 1725, to Londonderry, and located on a height of land northwest of Beaver pond. His remote ancestors on the paternal side probably came to Ulster province, Ireland, early in the seventeenth century, and intermarried with the Scotch Presbyterians there. John Clark, probably a relative, was one of the signers of the petition of the Scotch-Irish to Governor Shute, of Massachusetts, for a grant of land for a place of settlement in this country in 1718. Robert Clark died at Londonderry, April 20, 1775, aged sixty-five years. He married Letitia, daughter of John Cochran, of Londonderry. She died there June 16, 1784, aged seventy-six. The gravestones of both are standing in the old graveyard.
