• Notes

  [[ The LDS Ancestral File shows the husband of Judith Hathaway to be Mason Clark, whereas other sources show her spouse as ___?__ Clark. The first son of Calvin Clark and (my) Judith Hathaway was Mason Clark. In the absence of other evidence, and for the following reasons, I surmise that Judith Hathaway, daughter of Isaac Hathaway and Judith Hoar, was the wife of Calvin Clark. 1) Judith was an uncommon name in that era, 2) several references, including a book entitled "Genealogy of Jones, Hathaway, Richards, Gooding" show that Judith, the daughter of Isaac H athaway of Middleboro, MA, married a man with the last name of Clark (granted, Clark is a fairly common name, but the combination of Judith and a differet man named Clark would be quite a coincidence), 3) this Judith Hathaway was born a year and a half after Calvin Clark, making the timing appropriate for marriage, and 4) one reference gives the first name of her husband as Mason, a mistake that could easily occur when Calvin's and Judith's first son's name was Mason, and given that Calvin and Judith lived hundreds of miles west of Bristol County, MA , where family records were kept. Clearly, the nagging question with this theory is how Calvin and Judith met when they apparently were born and raised so far apart. However, we don't know where Calvin was born (his father was born in western Massachusetts), only that he spent a considerable amount of his life in Lisle, Tioga County, NY and the surrounding area. This was an era when many people from Massachusetts emigrated to Central New York State. I haven't had any luck finding Hathaway families in Tioga County, NY or surrounding counties, but that's not to say that there weren't some there in the first decade of the 1800s.
