Please note that we have discovered convincing evidence of 12 different Benjamin Clark's, in and around the same area. Most people try and combine them. However, each one had his OWN Family & Wife, Location and Dates; 36 pages worth. This is my direct ancestor and this is part of our research, as well as others.

Benjamin Clark, a native of Tolland, Connecticut, removed to the Wyoming Valley and was among the first to build a house on the town-plot of Wilkes-Barre. He was a Corporal in the first Independent Company of Wyoming under Capt Robert Durkee and served seven years in the Revolutionary War. He was one of the detachment sent for the relief of Wyoming after the fatal battle and was in the army of General Sullivan against the Indians.
In 1784, he removed from Wyoming to Asylum, and the next year, settled in Ulster on what is known as the Ross Farm. His house was the place of entertainment for travelers and the home of Methodist itinerants who held religious meetings there.
He was an ardent Federalist, captain of militia and popularly known as Captain Clark.
