Notes
Birth
This is a guess based on date of marriage and fitness to serve as mate and pilot of a ship in 1620.Marriage
Coddington:"The parents of Thomas were the 'John Clarke of Stepny & Mary Morton of St. Ellins, London' who were married at St. Dunstan's Stepney, 19 Feb. 1598/9 [searches in the original Parish Registers of St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney, were made very thoroughly by Miss Helen Thacker, P.S.G., of London, in behalf of the contributor]."
Employment
Coddington:"We believe, furthermore, that Thomas's father, John Clark or Clarke, was the Mate and Pilot of the Mayflower on her immortal voyage in 1620, who, after
an exciting and spectacular life which included several passages across the Atlantic and a period of captivity in Havana and Madrid (1611-1616), died at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1623."
Death
The record contains other interesting, but unsourced, information.Residence
Coddington:"Ratcliffe was and is a district in the large parish of Stepney immediately on the north bank of the Thames, and inhabited almost exclusively by seafaring men."
