    Notes 
    • BIRTH: MEMOIRS OF ROGER CLAP (Boston, 1844), originally published in Boston, 1731, Appendix by James Blake, Jr, 53 (FHL #929.273 C53d). James Blake (b. 1688) asserted that he was acquainted with the family. He was, in fact, married to a granddaughter of Roger Clapp.
      CHR: H. B. Clark and C. A. T. Fursdon, eds, "Salcombe Regis Bishops Transcripts, 1609-1701" (typescript, 1930; Devon & Cornwall Record Society), unpaginated (FHL #916930).
      MAR: No mar rec found in original source records. Children of Roger Clapp and his wife Joan were born at Dorchester beginning in 1634. Roger's will, below, mentions his "wife's Father Ford at Windsor." This could be no other than Thomas Ford. The identification is confirmed, and the mar date is supplied in Blake's Appendix to MEMOIRS OF ROGER CLAPP, 55. The Fords were also a Dorchester family in 1633 making it highly likely that the mar occurred in that place.
      DEATH: BOSTON BIRTHS, BAPTISMS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, 1630-1699, 9th Report Boston Record Commissioners (Boston, 1883; repr Baltimore, 1994), 193 (FHL #974.461 V2a). Also see the will of Roger Clapp of Boston, 19 Nov 1690, proved 5 Mar 1690/1, Suffolk Co. Probate, #1820, (n.s.) 8:35(FHL #594175).
      BUR: Thomas Bridgman, ed, MEMORIALS OF THE DEAD IN BOSTON...IN KING'S CHAPEL BURIAL GROUND (Boston, 1853), 64 (FHL #974.461 V39bt). Aged 82 yrs.
      OCC: Selectman of Dorchester, Deputy to General Court, Capt of Dorchester Troop, Commander of The Castle in Boston Harbor.
