On August 20, 1761, Nathaniel Clark “of St. John Parish in the province aforesaid Planter being infirm in body but of perfect mind and memory” wrote his will, leaving to “the children of my loving brother Stephen Clark one half of real & personal estate,” when they came of age, and the other half of “my real and personal estate for the support of the Gospel minding of which the Reve’nd Mr. John Osgood at present is Minister and to be paid by my Executors unto the hands of the select men of the above Gospel Ministry.” He also cancelled the debt owed him by “my brother Joshua Clark.” He named his brother Stephen Clark and John Winn as executors. The witnesses were John Stewart, Elizabeth Sumner, and George Fitzgerald (the last signed by mark). The will was probated by John Stewart. [See sourcing below]
