"I, Aaron Clark of Sag Harbor in the town of Southampton and State of New York do certify that I am the brother of Moses Clark who has subscribed the foregoing declaration, that I am of the age of 69 years on the 16th day of August 1832 that I resided with the said Moses Clark at Groton aforesaid and knew at the time that he was drafted as above stated and that he be marched to Rhode Island and was stationed there.

(Signature of) Aaron Clark.... before me ___Havens, Justice of the Peace "
In that file, Moses Clark states that he was about 10 when his father moved to Groton. There is a "Certificate addressed to Selectmen of Groton, April 18, 1774, stating Aaron Clark and family are inhabitants of Stonington, and will be received as such. Signed by Stonington J.P.'s Charles Phelps, Paul Wheeler, Selectmen Wm. Williams, Cyrus Wheeler, John ..." Moses also states that he moved to Sag Harbor about 1791. He states that he moved to Moriches in 1819. He appears on the 1790 census in East Hampton, New York... listing shows 1 free white male over 16, one free white female, 1 other free person, and 1 slave. (Sag Harbor is partly in the Town of East Hampton and partly in the Town of Southampton.). Aaron Clark was still in New London in 1790 with 1 male over 16, and 3 white females. By 1800 he was in East Hampton with 3 girls under 16, he and his wife were the 26-44 year olds, and the 1 female over 45 was likely his mother, Ann (Fanning) Clark who is buried in Sag Harbor's Old Burying Ground .
================================
I visited the Old Burying Ground in the early 1970's and again in 2010. Between then and now the headstone for "Anna Clark relict of Aaron Clark" has disappeared. It was a much larger stone than the one for her son Aaron Clark, Jr. In the 1970's I was with an older family member who carried the Clark name as a middle name and he was interested in visiting the graves of family members buried in Sag Harbor. From our old notes I have the "relict of Aaron Clark" which I copied from her headstone. Anne Winters
The marriage of Aaron Clark and Anna Fanning and the births of their children can be found in Stonington Town Records.
