 Deacon Thomas
CLAPP361,378 was born in 1609 in Sidbury, Devonshire, England.350 He died on 20 Apr 1684 in Scituate,
Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA.52,379
3. THOMAS2 CLAPP (Nicholas,2 Widow Christian1) was presumably born in Sidbury,
co. Devon, about 1609. In 1678 he testified that his age was "about 69 yeares."
In 1630 his kinsman Roger Clapp of the neighboring parish of Salcombe Regis,
co. Devon, went to New England, the forerunner of a large group of family emigrants.
About the first of May in 1633 a ship left the port of Weymouth for the voyage
to America. Governor Winthrop recorded that she arrived at Boston on July 24,
"with about 80 passengers and 12 kine, who sate down at Dorchester. They
were 12 weeks coming, being forced into
Dean and Chapter of Exeter.
† The Clapp Memorial, by Ebenezer Clapp. Boston. 1876, contains a vast amount
of genealogical and biographical material about the Clapp emigrants and their
descendants. It must be used with discrimination, however. All genealogies contain
errors of fact and of judgment, but quite naturally this is particularly the
case with publications of an early date.
90 The Ancestry of Joseph Neal
the Western Islands by a leak, where they stayed three weeks and were very courteously
used by the Portugals." Weymouth was the convenient port for east Devon
and it is reasonably supposd that among the voyagers who enjoyed an unexpected
stay in the Azores were Thomas Clapp, his brother Nicholas, and his sisters Barbara;
Redigon and Prudence, the latter the wife of their kinsman Edward Clapp, all
of whom were soon afterward in Dorchester, where Roger Clapp had settled. Their
younger brother John followed them a few years later.
Thomas Clapp's name appears on the Dorchester records in 1634, and in 1638 he
was a freeman of the town. By 1639 he had moved on to Weymouth but his stay there
was a short one. Wcymouth was in the throes of theological controversy. The local
parson, Mr. Lenthal, believed that all baptized persons should be admitted to
the church without further trial. For this liberal heresy he was called to account
by government and retracted, but one of his chief adherents, Richard Silvester,
was steadfast and, on being disenfranchised, moved to Scituate in the more tolerant
colony of Plymouth. Thomas Clapp was one of a group of Weymouth men, including
Thomas Rawlins, James Torrey and William Holbrook, who left Weymouth for Scituate
at about the same time, and possibly for similar reasons.
In Scituate Clapp was propounded freeman on June 6, 1644, and admitted , June
4, 1645, and the latter year he served as constable. He purchased a farm of twenty-four
acres from Mr. Timothy Hatherly in 1645. Uniting with the first church he became
its deacon in 1647 and remained loyal to Rev. Charles Chauncey, his pastor and
the future president of Harvard College, when a large portion of the congregation
abandoned him to form a second parish where infant baptism, disapproved of by
Mr. Chauncey, could be practiced. Happily Clapp lived to be a member of the committee
of reconcilement which reunited the parishes in 1675 in a somewhat less controversial
age. He was Scituate's deputy to the Plymouth General Court in 1649, and the
town s overseer of the poor, the first appointed, in 1667.
It is probable that Thomas Clapp was married three times, the names of the first
two wives being unknown. His third wife was Abigail (Wright), widow of Robert
Sharp of Muddy River. Sharp died in 1655. After Clapp s death she married Capt.
William Holbrook of Scituate. When Clapp's son Eleazer died in 1676 the papers
dealing with the probate of his estate indicate
Clapp, of Scituate 91
that his only heirs by intestacy were his brothers Thomas and -Samuel. As. brothers
and sisters of the half-blood did.. not in- -bent under the common law we can
therefore say with certainty that Thomas, Samuel and Eleazer Clapp were sons
of one moth-~ er, their father's first wife. The two children of- the third wife,
Abigail, are duly recorded in the vital records of Scituate. This leaves three
children, Increase, Prudence and Elizabeth, all mentioned in their father's will,
who are with strong probability to be assigned to an unknown second wife.
Deacon Clapp died in Scituate April 20, 1684. His will, made the day before his
death, was proved June 4, 1684. He states that he is "in ye 87 yeer of my
age," but this is an exaggeration or an error of ten years. To his wife
Abigail he left the use and profits of all his houses and lands and his orchard
for life, with strict injunction against waste, also £10 in silver in the
hands of his son Samuel Clapp, also two feather beds and their furnishings, the
best brass kettle, a skillet, an iron kettle, an iron pot, two pewter basins,
four pewter platters, six napkins, a table-cloth, twelve trenchers, a long chest,
two boxes and as many other small things as she desired up to the value of 30s.
She was to have three cows, six sheep and a horse, which after her decease were
to be divided among her children. To his son Thomas Clapp, all his apparell,
both linen and woolen, his shoes, stockings and hats, and a double portion of
the lands after Abigail Clapp s death. To his son Samuel Clapp, two committee
lots and a single portion of the lands. To his son Increase Clapp, two young
cattle and a single portion of the lands. To his daughter Elizabeth King, £7,
the best brass pan, a bed and its furniture and a single portion of the lands.
To his daughter Prudence Clapp, two cows, the second brass pan, a feather bed
and its furniture, £7 in movables and a single portion of the lands, and
she to have her residence in his house until his wife s death. To his daughter
Abigail Clapp, £5, two cows and a single portion of the lands. To his daughter
Mary Tilden,* three sheep and two lambs. To his grandchild Elizabeth, a sheep
and a lamb. Executors: sons Thomas Clapp and Samuel Clapp. Appraisers appointed
in the will: friends John Briggs, Nathaniel Tilden, John Buck, Sr. Witnesses:
John Wetherehl, Israel Turner. The inventory contained property valued at £351.t
* This was Mary (Sharp), wife of Nathaniel Tilden and daughter of Abigail (Wright)
(Sharp) Clapp by her former marriage.
† Plymouth County Probate, 4(2): 129, 133, 134.
Thomas Clapp, immigrant, born in Dorchester, England, 1597 was son of Richard
Clap of Dorchester, and brother of Nicholas Clapp, an immigrant settler of Dorchester,
Massachusetts Bay Colony, known to genealogists as"Nicholas of Dorchester."
These two brothers were cousins of Edward and Roger Clapp, sons of William Clap,
the younger, of Salcombe-Regis, Devonshire, England, and this gives us Richard
Clap of Dorchester England, and William Clap, the elder of Salcombe, England,
as brothers. The name is probably of Norse origin, if we take it to be derived
from Clapa, as Osgood Clapa, a famous Danish nobleman, was a prime favorite of
Hardacanute, an early English king; or it may be a cognate form of some ancient
gothic word, as we find the German name Klapp of frequent occurrence. ----
Thomas Clapp, the immigrant, arrived in Boston, July 24, 1633, probably on the
ship which arrived from Weymouth, England, that date. He was probably accompanied
by his brother Nicholas and cousin Edward. Another brother, John, arrived much
later. Thomas removed to Dorchester in 1634, and became a freeman of the town
and of the colony 1638, and the same year removed to Weymouth, a town of recent
establishment, having been set apart by the general court out of the plantation
of Wessaguscas, September 2, 1635. He appears to have tarried in the new town
but a short time, ---He appears in the town of Scituate, as a deacon in the First
Church, 1647, and as deputy in the general court 1649, and when the town meeting
petitioned the general court for an officer to take care of the poor of the town
he was made overseer in 1667--the first record we have of an "overseer of
the poor" as a town officer in Scituate. He had grants of land in Hingham,
but may not have resided there. He went to Weymouth and thence to Scituate.
He appears to have been Scituate as early as 1640. As deacon of the First Church,
over which Rev. Charles Chauncey was minister (1641-53, he was a witness of
the difficulties that beset the pastor and parishioners of the church that led
to its division at the establishment of the Second Church. Previous to his leaving
Massachusetts Bay Colony he appears to have been a disciple of Richard Sylvester
and of Mr. Lenthail, the minister who advocated the admitting of any baptized
person to membership in the church without further examination, and Thomas Rawlins,
James Torrey and William Holbrook went: with Richard Sylvester to Plymouth Colony,
settling in Scituate about the same time Thomas Clapp removed to that town, and
it is probable the question of baptism moved all these men to seek freedom in
the Pilgrim Colony. (It appears that there was a 30 year controversy between
the First and Second Churches in Scituate) and in 1675, Thomas was selected one
of three members of a committee from the First Church appointed in 1673 to carry
a letter containing news of reconciliation to the Second Church, so long desired
by the peaceloving of both congregations. His sister Prudence married her cousin
Edward Clapp. The family name of his wife Abigail is not known. He died in
Scituate, April 20, 1684, greatly respected, a useful and enterprising man blessed
with a good wife, eight children and length of days, having attained the ninety-seventh
year of his age. The children of Thomas and Abigail Clapp were: Thomas, born

the honor of St. Hilary from his grandmother, and a moiety of the Giffard estates
through his ancestress Rohese. In June 1202 he was entrusted with Harfleur and
Mostreviliiers, and in 1211 he held six and one-half knight's fees in Kent of

A Knight, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. Cearleon. The Complete Peerage vol.
V, pp. 702-8
GILBERT de CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, "the Red Earl,"
born 2 September 1243, at Christchurch, Hants. Being under age at his father's
death, he was a ward of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford. In April 1264 he
led the massacre of the Jews at Canterbury, as Simon de Montfort had done in
London. His castles of Kingston and Tonbridge were taken by the King, who, however,
allowed his Countess, who was in the latter, to go free because she was his niece;
and on 12 May he and Montfort were denounced as traitors. Two days later, just
before the battle of Lewes, on 14 May, Montfort knighted the Earl and his brother
Thomas. The Earl commanded the second line of the battle and took the King prisoner,
having hamstrung his horse. As Prince Edward had also been captured, Montfort
and the Earl were now supreme. On 20 October following, however, the Earl and
his associates were excommunicated by the Papal Legate and his lands placed under
an interdict.
In the following month, by which time they had obtained possession of Gloucester
and Bristol, the Prince and the Earl were proclaimed to be rebels. They at once
entered on an active campaign, the Earl, in order to prevent Montfort's escape,
destroying the ships at Bristol and the Bridge over the Severn. He shared the
Prince's victory at Kenilworth on 16 July, and in the battle of Evesham, 4 August,
in which Montfort was slain, commanded the second division and contributed largely
to the victory. The castle of Abergavenny was committed to his charge on 25 October
and on the 29th the honour of Brecknock was added. On 24 June 1268 he took the
Cross at Northampton, and at Michaelmas his disputes with Llewelyn were submitted
to arbitration, but without a final settlement. At the end of the year 1268 he
refused to obey the King's summons to attend parliament, alleging that, owing
to the constant inroads of Llewelyn, his Welsh estates needed his presence for
their defense. At the death of Henry III, 16 November 1272, the Earl took the
lead in swearing fealty to Edward I. who was then in Sicily on his return from
the Crusade. The next day, with the Archbishop of York, he entered London and
proclaimed peace to all, Christians and Jews, and for the first time, secured
the acknowledgment of the right of the King's eldest son to succeed to the throne
immediately. Thereafter he was joint Guardian of England, during the King's absence,
and on his arrival in England, in August 1274, entertained him at Tonbridge Castle.
On 3 July. 1290 the Earl gave a great banquet at Clerkenwell to celebrate his
marriage with the Princess Joan in the previous May. Thereafter he and she are
said to have taken the Cross and set out for the Holy Land, but in September
he signed the Barons letter to the Pope, and on 2 November surrendered to the
King his claim to the advowson of the bishopric of Llandaff. In the next year,
1291, his quarrels with the Earl of Hereford about Brecknock culminated in a
private war between them. Both were imprisoned by the King, and the Earl of Gloucester,
as the aggressor, was fined 10,000 marks, and the Earl of Hereford 1,000 marks.
He died at Monmouth Castle on 7 December, 1295, and was buried at Tewkesbury,
on the left side of his grandfather Gilbert. The Earl married, first, in the
spring of 1253, Alice, daughter of Hugh le Brun, Count of La Marche and Angouleme,
and his wife, Yolande, daughter of Pierre Mauclerk. Earl Gilbert's second wife,
whom he married in 1290, when he was about 47 years of age, was Joan of Acre,
Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, born at Acre in Palestine probably early
in 1272. She was the second daughter of King Edward I, by his wife Eleanor of
Castile, see Chapter 34. She was first betrothed to Herman, son of the King of
Germany, who died in 1282.
After Earl Gilbert's death, to her father's great displeasure, she married clandestinely,
in the early part of May 1297, Ralph de Monthermer, a member of the late Earl's
house hold. On 29 January, 1296/7 the escheator was ordered to take into his
hand all the lands, goods and chattels of Joan, Countess of Gloucester, from
which it might be inferred that the King suspecting her intentions with regard
to Monthermer, sought to coerce her to abandon the marriage by degradation and
loss of estates. On 16 March the King gave his assent to her marriage with Amadeus
of Savoy, and therefore must have been ignorant of her marriage, if it had already
taken place, and on 12 May it was ordered that Joan should have reasonable allowance
for herself and children. It would seem that by 3 July the King had discovered
Joan's marriage with Monthermer, for he took her lands into his own hand, but
by 31 July, when he certainly knew of the marriage, he appears to have been partly
mollified, for her lands were restored, except Tonbridge. She died 23 April,
1307, and was buried in the Austin Friars' church at Clare in Suffolk, aged 35.
She and her first husband, 11 Gilbert de Clare had several children, among whom
were 111 Alianore, who was married first in 1337 to Hugh Despencer, son of Hugh
Despencer and his wife Isabel Beauchamp, and, second, to William, Lord Zouche
de Mortimer; 112 Margaret, who was married, first, to Piers Gaveston, Earl of
Cornwall, second, to Hugh Audley; 113 Elizabeth, who became the wife, first,
of John de Burgh, a descendant of the Surety William de Lanvallei, see Chapter
13: and, second, of Theobald de Verdon, a descendant of the Sureties Roger and
Hugh Bigod, see Chapter 3; and, third, of Roger d Amory, by whom she had two
daughters 113 2 Elizabeth Amory, wife of John. Lord Bardolph and 113 2 Alianore

RICHARD DE CLARE, Lord of Clam, styled Earl of Clare, Earl of Hertford, died
in November of 1217. He married AMICE who died as Countess of Gloucester, about
1 Jan. 1224/5, daughter (and in her issue heiress) of William Fitz Robert, Earl
of Gloucester, by Hawise, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester.
William Fitz Robert was son of Robert de Caen, created Earl of Gloucester 1122,
died 1147, illegitimate son of King Henry I (for whom see NORMANDY) by Sybil
Corbet [CP, 5:736 chart]; Robert married Mabel, daughter of Robert Fitz
Hamon, Lord of Creully in Calvados, and his wife Sybil, daughter of Roger de
Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. Richard and Amice appear to have been separated
before 1200, perhaps pending a dispensation [CP, 6:502].
He was present at the coronation of Richard I at Westminster on 3 Sept. 1189,
and in 1191 he was one of eleven appointed by the Chancellor (on the part of
King Richard) to treat with those of Prince John the questions between King Richard
and the prince. In 1193 he was selected by the Chancellor (the Bishop of Ely),
to accompany him on his way to Germany, to ransom King Richard. In 1199 he swore
an oath to keep peace with King John, his loyalty having been in doubt. He attended
King John's coronation at Westminster, 27 May 1199, and the homage of King
William of Scotland at Lincoln. He sided with the Barons against the King with
the result that Tonbridge Castle was taken from him, and played a leading part
in the negotiations for the Magna Charta, being one of the twenty-five
barons which were guardians of that charter.
On 4 March 1215/6 his lands in counties Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex
were granted to Robert de Betun; he lost lands in other counties soon afterwards.
He and his son were excommunicated by Pope Innocent III in 1216. However, he
had done much to enhance his lands and power, losing only the town and castle
of Bristol in the long run [Altschul, 27-28]. Parents: Roger de CLARE 2nd Earl of Hertford and Maud de ST HILAIRE.Spouse: Amice

RICHARD de CLARE. Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, born 4 August, 1222. A year
after he became of age, he was in an expedition against the Welsh. Through his
mother he inherited a fifth part of the Marshall estates, including Kilkenny
and other lord-ships in Ireland. He joined in the Barons letter to the Pope
in 1246 against the exactions of the Curia in England. He was among those in
opposition to the King's half-brothers, who in 1247 visited England, where they
were very unpopular. but afterwards he was reconciled to them. On 20 April, 1248,
he had letters of protection for going over seas on a pilgrimage. At Christmas
1248, he kept his Court with great splendour on the Welsh border. In the next
year he went on a pilgrimage to St. Edmund at Pontigny, returning in June. In
1252 he observed Easter at Tewkesbury, and then went
66
across the seas to restore the honour of his brother William. who had been badly
worsted in a tournament and had lost all his arms and horses. The Earl is said
to have succeeded in recovering all, and to have returned home with great credit,
and in September he was present at the "Round Table" tournament at
Walden. In August 1252/3 the King crossed over to Gascony with his army, and
to his great indignation the Earl refused to accompany him and went to Ireland
instead. In August 1255 he and John Maunsel were sent to Edinburgh by the King
to find out the truth regarding reports which had reached the King that his son-in-law,
Alexander, King of Scotland, was being coerced by Robert de Roos and John Baliol.
If possible, they were to bring the young King and Queen to him. The Earl and
his companion, pretending to be two of Roos's knights, obtained entry to Edinburgh
Castle, and gradually introduced their attendants, so that they had a force sufficient
for their defence. They gained access to the Scottish Queen, who made her complaints
to them that she and her husband had been kept apart. They threatened Roos with
dire punishments, so that he promised to go to the King. Meanwhile the Scottish
magnates, indignant at their castle of Edinburgh s being in English hands, proposed
to besiege it, but they desisted when they found they would be besieging their
King and Queen. The King of Scotland apparently travelled South with the Earl,
for on 24 September they were with King Henry Ill at Newminster, Northumberland.
In July 1258 he fell ill, being poisoned with his brother William, as it was
supposed, by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, but his brother died.
Richard died at John de Griol s manor of Asbenfield in Waltham, near Canterbury,
15 July 1262, it being rumored that he had been poisoned at the table of Piers
of Savoy. On the following Monday he was carried to Canterbury where a mass for
the dead was sung. after which his body was taken to the canons church at Tonbridge
and interred in the choir. Thence it was taken to Tewkesbury and buried 28 July
I 262, with great solemnity in the presence of two bishops and eight abbots in
the presbytery. at his father's right hand. His first wife was Margaret, daughter
of Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. She died in November, 1237, and he married,
second, on or before 25 January 1237/8, Maud, daughter of the Surety John de
Lacie, see Chapter 12. She, who had the manor of Clare and the manor and castle
of Usk and other lands for her dower, erected a splendid tomb for her late husband
at Tewkesbury and was living in 1287, but she died before 10 March 1288/9.

Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle,
which he held by “the serjeanty of being High Steward” [Cokayne, 6:500].
In spite of support for Roger de Clam from the king, Archbishop Hubert eventually
recovered fealty. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. He
abandoned his campaigns against the Welsh in Cardigan in 1165, after a defeat
[Altschul, 23]. He served as commissioner in 1170, enquiring into the proceedings

died on 6 Jan 1683/84 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts, USA.407 JOSEPH CLARK is said to have been born in county Suffolk,
England, and, if he is the passenger, “Jo:Clark,” on the ship Constance,
1635, born about 1597. He may possibly be the son of Rowland Clark who died in
Dedham, Mass., without probate. The wife of Joseph, Alice, is given in Americana
and the Jelke-Frazier Ancestry as Alice Pepper, baptized inthe parish of St.
Aldermany, London, March 25, 1623, the daughter of Robert Pepper* who settled
in Roxbury, Mass., and married about 1642, but may have had a first wife Elizabeth,
who died in 1642. Another account says he married Alice Brass, a passenger on
the Constance in 1635, her age given as fifteen. She perhaps married a Pepper
as her first husband. Joseph died in Medfield, Mass., on Jan. 6, 1683/4, and
Alice died in Dedham on March 17, 1710/11.
Joseph may have come on the ship Mary and John in 1630. He settled in Dorchester,
Mass., where on Nov. 22, 1634, he with twelve other men were given a grant of
six acres of land “for their small and great lots at Naponsett betwixt the
Indian feud and the mill.” It is said that he returned to England
and sailed back on the ship Constance, Oct.24, 1635, his age given as 38. This
does not fit the record of his being admitted freeman at Dorchester, March 4,
1634/5.He was one of the earliest residents of Dedham, being there in September
1640. He subscribed to the covenant. He had several grants Of land in Dedham.
His house in Dedham was valued at £5.4.0. in 1648. He was one of the first
Dedhamn men who undertook the settlement of Medfield, and was made a freeman
there on May 18, 1653. His home was on the west side of what is now South Street,
and an old cellar marks the spot where ho built. He served as selectman in 1660,
and had a grant in 1663 for his son Joseph, Junior, to build upon.
Under “True coppye of the subscriptions of the inhabitants of Med Field
towards the buillding of the new Collidg at Cambridge [Harvard]” in
1678, Joseph Clark is listed as contributing “two bushielles Endian
Corn,” most of the subscribers using grain instead of money contributions.
His will of June 24, 1682, was probated in June 1684. It left legacies to wife
Alice, sons Joseph, Ephraim, Nathaniel, Benjamin and John; daughter Rebecca Richardson,
a grandchild, John Bowers, and son-in-law John Adams. His daughter MARY had
presumably had her portion when she married, sinceshewas not mentioned in the
will, although she was living at the time.
