Reasonable guess: This may have been the Adam Clarke who testified in court at Salem 25 : 4 : 1672 (June 25, 1672), in "Robert Bartlett v. William Beale. For a mare of plaintiff being killed and found dead in the ground of defendant. Verdict for defendant." Record: "Adam Clarke, aged about seventeen years, deposed that William Beale came to his master's shop and said that there were horses using his field but he did not know whose they were. He also said that he would not hurt them with any hand weapon but would set something in their way that would hurt them. Sworn in court."
