MEMBERSHIPS
AWARDS
Lucy Clarke was born in Boston on 19 May 1752, a daughter of merchant Richard Clarke and Elizabeth Winslow. Her siblings included Susanna Clarke Copley and tea consignees Jonathan and Isaac Clarke. A family records guide preserves her birth, while editors of Copley correspondence cautiously identify one reference as Lucy. These sources establish her family setting but do not verify the master’s death year of 1775 or a separate public career.
EARLY LIFE
Lucy Clarke was born on May 19, 1752. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.
No distinct public profession or office for Lucy Clarke is established by the source summary used for this entry. The surviving record is primarily genealogical and documents family identity rather than an independent public career. Additional claims about employment, public service, or accomplishments have been omitted where the consulted source did not support them.
CAREER
DEATH
Lucy Clarke died in 1775. The available biographical account does not describe a continuous final medical course. It gives no dependable sequence of treatment and last symptoms from which to reconstruct a more detailed bedside narrative.
