AWARDS
Richard Clarke Jr. was born in Boston on May 19, 1756, the youngest child of merchant Richard Clarke and Elizabeth Winslow. The American Ancestors finding aid places him among twelve children, including Susanna Clarke Copley and Isaac Winslow Clarke. It does not establish his later occupation or death. His father’s tea business and Loyalist exile, and his siblings’ careers, cannot be transferred to this younger Richard. His own adult biography remains incomplete.
EARLY LIFE
Richard Clarke Jr was born on May 19, 1756. 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 Richard Clarke Jr 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.
