PARENTS: Luther Clark was the son of John Clark, and Jerusha Andrews, of Hopkinton, Middlesex Co., MA.
WIFE: Luther Clark, married Sally Walker, NOV 9, 1791, at Hubbardston, MA. They had ten children together.
01. Luther Reed Clark
02. Permelia (Clark) Johnson
03. William Clark (died young)
04. Ira Clark
05. William Andrews Clark

10. Un-Named Male Clark (prob. died young)
BIRTH RECORD: Hubbardston, Worcester Co., MA: CLARK, Luther, s. John Jr. and Jerusha, March 18, 1771. At Hopkinton.
DEATH RECORD: Rutland, Worcester Co., MA
Luther Clark, died May 3, 1855, age 84 years, 1 month, 14 days. Place of Death Rutland, MA. Cause of Death Typhoid Fever. Male, Widowed, Farmer. Place of Birth Hubbardston, MA. Name of Parents John and Jerusha Clark.
NOTE: Luther's death record was also registered in the town of Leominster, MA. In that record it says he died in Hubbardston. Since there is no record of his death in Hubbardston, the Rutland death record must be the more accurate of the two. This makes sense since he was a resident of Rutland and his wife also died there a few years earlier.
