The Descendants of Daniel Clarke of Windsor, Connecticut, Compiled by Frances Todd Bruce, Maple Falls, Washington, 1970:
" Daniel Clarke, Jr. (1654-1754). Daniel was born 4 April 1654, at Windsor. He was the second son of Daniel and Mary (Nerberrry) Clarke. Daniel was probably born on the triangular home lot of his father near the "Warham Mill" on Mill Creek.
In 1674 when Daniel was 20 years old, he was causing his father some trouble due to his 'high spirits'. Daniel was hasty of speech and was fined £20 for making contemptuous remarks about Major Treat, who had him sent to jail. Daniel confessed his fault, showing signs of repentance to the court. Major Treat ordered him released from prison and later remitted the fine in order that Daniel might, as his father expressed it, "pursue his art and trade and settle among them undiscouraged by fines".
In 1678, when he was twenty-four years old, Daniel Jr. married Hannah Pratt... Shortly afterwards Daniel Jr. moved to Hartford and set up his shop as a locksmith. His first grant of land in Hartford was in 1678. An addition to his land was granted to him in 1680 to build him a dwelling house. Another addition was given in 1685 (Vol. VI, Hartford Records).
Daniel Jr., apparently remained in Hartford, practicing his trade as a Locksmith until 1709 when he purchased a house and lot in Colchester... After the death of Martha Clarke in 1719, Daniel Jr. sold his farm and home in Colchester, and probably returned to Windsor to live in the house on the old home lot. Daniel and Hannah lived to be very old and perhaps went in the latter part of their lives to live with relatives in East Windsor (now South Windsor).

He had a passage at arms with Mayor Treat and got fined for contempt of court which was remitted. Peace was restored on the joint petition of his father & Mayor Treat.
He afforded his father considerable trouble & anxiety at times. He was hasty of speech and was fined 20 pounds for making contemptuous remarks about Mayor Treat, who had sent him to jail, having confessed his fault and "manifested some sighns of repentance" the court, earnestly entreated by Major Treat( urged by his father) ordered the youth released from prison and later remitted the fine in order that he might as his father expressed it" pursue his art and trade" & settle among tham undiscouraged  by fines. In 1704 Daniel occ. locksmith was fined 10 shillings and sent to jail for voting out of his district but was later pardoned.
He emigrated in 1710 from Hartford to Colchester. It is related that he served in one Indian campaign and was enlisted in the "Louisburg Expedition" just prior to his death.
