He moved to Ashfield in 1794 and married Mary Bassett, daughter of Elisha, and sister of Esquire Bassett. He had ten children of whom Alvan, Jr., was the fifth, being born March 8, 1804. On the valuation books for 1817, Joshua Knowlton and Alvan Clarke were taxed for a grist mill they owned together just below Chapel Falls. By the will of Alvan, Sr., Alvan was left a patrimony of fifty dollars, a small sum to begin life with.
