The Descedants of Daniel Clarke of Windsor, Connecticut, compiled by Francis Bruce Todd, page 8:

"4 (th child of Daniel Clarke, Jr and Hannah Pratt) Aaron Clarke, b. 13 Nov 1687 in Hartford and died 9 May 1744 in Lebanon, Conn. He married Sussanah Wade on 31 May 1711, in the First Church at Hartford. He is buried beside his brother, Nathaniel, in the Exeter Cemetery in Lebanon. Their oldest son, Aaron Clarke Jr. b. 14 May 1712 in Lebanon, married and had a son, Isreal Clarke, b 7 Mar 1757. .....Aaron and Sussanah lived in Colchester, Lebanon and Mansfield, Conn. They had 11 children."

Church Records, Goshen Congregational Church, 1729: Among those confessing belief were Aaron Clark, Nathaniel Clark, and Edmund Bridges. Source: Ancestral Notes, Vol 13 -1966 (location, publisher unknown - sent to JHM in 1975 by Francis Todd). It is possible that this Aaron is the father of Lemuel who married dau. of Edmund Bridges, and that Nathaniel is the uncle of Aaron. However, a Nathaneil Clark married Martha Witt on 5 Nov 1740 in the Goshen Church (same source), so this may not be the uncle.
Same source shows Susannah Clark admitted to full communion in 1730.
