Samuel Thomas Clark was born to Thomas Clark and Hannah (Gibbard) Clark on August 4, 1666 in Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut. He was Christened on October 9, 1670 in Milford. He married Mehitable Phippen in June 1695 in Milford. Samuel served in the Connecticut Militia in the Milford First Company as a Lieutenant in May 1718. The following year in may 1719 he was promoted to Captain. From 1722 to 1725 he served as the Justice of the Peace.
Samuel was a wealthy man, and there was considerable action on his estate because of oversights, such as the failure to inventory or divide lands in Derby. The final inventory amounted to L 10,373.09.10 1/2.

A suit for partition against Gamaliel Clark of Milford brought by Thomas Clark of Milford, John Clark of Middletown, Thomas Towsey of Newtown in right of his wife Hannah, and Richard Bryan, Jr. and Mehetable Bryan of Milford (minors who sued by their father Richard Bryan), was before the Superior court, March 1, 1736/7.

Samuel died on May 28, 1725 at age 58 years, 9 months, and 24 days old in Milford. He was buried in Milford Cemetery in Milford.
