DEATHS. Feb. 29, at his residence, Henry-street, Pentonville, John Wesley Clarke, Esq., of the Record Office, Chapter House, Westminster, and eldest son of the late Dr. Adam Clarke, aged 51. (London Evening Standard, 05 Mar 1840, p4)
Extract from "The Life of the Rev. Adam Clarke":
Of the three sons of Dr. Clarke who survived him, each has now followed his parents to the other world. The eldest, John Wesley Clarke, was a gentleman whose extensive antiquarian and heraldic studies both qualified him for the situation he held under government, and, combined with a genial sociality of disposition, rendered him a most agreeable companion. He had a great love for the science of botany, and delighted to spend whole weeks in the country in pursuing it, during which he would domesticate himself in cottage of farm-house, and live as one of the family. He was a loving son and brother. He died after a short illness in February, 1840, and was buried with his parents at City Road Chapel.
