MARK CLARKSON and BENNETT PAGE (9)

DEAL- Clayson InfoMARK CLARKSON. There is reason to believe that Mark Clarkson is the father of John Clayson. Alternative versions of the surname were recorded in different parishes and at different times. 
Mark was the son of Mark Clarkson and Angelica. He was the middle of three surviving children, an earlier Mark having died. Mark was baptised at St Giles church in Denton on 17 February 1674, in the reign of Charles II. Denton is a village between Canterbury and Dover.
He appears to have moved to nearby Barham before he married. The wedding took place in Barham and the couple brought up their children there. Barham is a picturesque village in the North Downs.

BENNETT PAGE. As yet we have no information about Bennett’s family. We presume her home was Barham, since she was married there.

Mark and Bennett married at the church of St John  the Baptist, Barham, on 25 June 1696. By now Charles II had been replaced by the Protestant King William III and Mary II. Mary had died two years previously, leaving William to rule alone.

The couple had three children baptised in Barham:
William, 29 February 1700
John, 16 January 1703
Vincent, 8 February 1709

In 1729, William married Ann Higgins at St George’s church, Canterbury. They had one child, Joseph, who died in infancy and was buried at Barham in 1730.
The following year, Vincent died unmarried. He was buried in Barham on 6 February 1731.
In 1732 John married Sarah Erridge at St Margaret’s in Canterbury. They started their family in Barham, but then to moved to Walmer, next to Deal.
William died in 1736. His will names his wife Ann and his father Mark, to whom he leaves all his property. The making of a will suggests that the family were not amongst the poorest.
Mark was thus still alive at the age of 62. We do not yet know when he died, nor the date of Bennett’s death.
