Satchel is the son of John and Elizabeeth (Clifford) Clatk of Kingston, NH. He used to be reckoned as the cousin of Joseph Clark, of whom he purchased his farm lot No. 8, 2d Division, but was really a half-nephew, though with less than 20 years' difference in their ages. He was a blacksmith, in Epping.
Satchel married Rachel Cate, who was born in 1737, in Greenland. They removed to Sanbornton from Epping in May (June 17), 1766 and settled, the 9th family in town, on the above lot, west of the Tin Corner, where he had worked two summers previously, without seeing a woman's face in town. The farm was later owned by his great-grandson in 1879.
He signed the "Association Test," as did also another Satchel Clark, who may have been his uncle and was living temporarily in this town. He is said, traditionally, to have served in the Revolutionary war, and to have been sick" during the battle of Bennington, in a meeting-house, on a pile of knapsacks, but within plain hearing of the guns." He died May 4, 1809, æ 73 years and 2 days. Rachel died August 15, 1820, æ 83. The united ages of their family of seven children, previous to the first death (of the oldest), were 532 years, 1 month, and 13 days, being an average of more than 76 years each. >History of Sanbornton, p131.
