Name is mentioned in "The Clinker Lots of Elizabethtown" The following descriptions are of the so-called 'Clinker Lots' set out by surveyor John Harriman, Jr. and his associates in 1699-1700. These 174 lots include much of the land that is now Westfield, as well as surrounding areas. While the politics of this division are a study in itself, suffice it to say that as the population of Elizabethtown grew, there was a need for more land for the progeny of the first settlers. This survey was one answer to that need. A Division of land Laid out for Ephraim Clarke (being Number 5) Beginning at a Stake standing by land left for a High-way from thence running South: westy Sixty Chane to a White-Oak-Tree markt on four Sides thance Nor west Seventeen Chane to a walnut tree markt on four sides Thence Nor: East Sixty Chane andfrom Thence Seventeen Chane to the first mentioned Stake.

Other notes: from THE CLARK FAMILY HISTORY, by Bill Puttman EPHRAIM CLARK was a planter in Elizabethtown and he died Intestate October 28, 1717. His wife, Hannah, was mentioned in a deed. Ephraim Clark - C.C.Gardner, page 33: Ephraim Clark 2, son of Richard and Elizabeth Clarke was probably born on Long Island about 1673. His name appears in the list of Associates at Elizabeth Town, and like his brothers signed the petitions of the inhabitants of East Jersey to the King, asking for relief from the oppression of the Proprietors. In 1700 Ephraim Clark appeared with a party of friends before the Essex County Court, while an unpopular civil suit was being tried, and made such a disturbance that the court was compelled to adjourn. The members of the disturbing party were indicted for contempt of court, but no mention is made of any punishment meted out to them. Ephraim Clark died intestate in 1717, and administration on his estate was granted on Sep. 16, 1717 to this widow Hannah. Her surname identity is not known. The inventory of Mr. Clarke's personal estate was made by Andrew Hamton and Thomas Johnson Sep. 9, 1717. Additional Notes: [at page 35]: In Nov. 1711, he was indicted in the Essex County Court for stopping up a road. He pleaded not guilty in Feb. 1711-2, and the indictment was quashed. On May 6, 1704 Ephraim Clarke and his wife Hannah conveyed to Isaac Hatfield, a one fifth part of a tract called the "Bloaid Ridge", inherited from his father. He is presumed to have been the father of Ephraim Clark, listed above, and perhaps had other children. [Ref# 32] Information on Ephraim Clark & descendants compiled by Harman R. Clark, Jr.
