In consideration of £177, 16 shillings and 3 pence secured to be paid by Walter Hinds, Andrew Bell the father assigned and made over unto Andrew Bell his son all his right, title and interest in and to the lands of Aghnacreevy, he paying unto his father during his life and also during the life of his mother Lettice £14 yearly to commence from the first day of May next. Then Andrew, the father, for the considerations mentioned, assigned and made over to Andrew, his son, all his right, title and interest in and to the lands of Ballyheelan and after his death to the male heirs of Andrew lawfully begotten on the body of Ann. And it was thereby agreed that in case Ann should survive Andrew, she should enjoy one third full parts of all lands and chattels as a jointure, and in case that Andrew the son should not have any male issue, then the lands of Aghnacreevy should be left to Robert Bell, the father Andrew's son, and Robert's male issue. And in case Robert should not have any male issue, then to the female issue of Andrew Bell, the son. The agreement also gave Andrew, the son, the power to settle a proper provision for his female issue. Witnesses to the document included Thomas Hinds, Samuel Stephens, Walter Bell and Samuel Donaldson, all members of the Hinds-Clarke-Bell extended family. The memorial deed was registered on 31 March 1756.2

(Son) Research NotesWhile we feel fairly confident that these CLARKE people are related, we are not at all certain we have identified their relationships correctly. If anyone has answers for us, we would really love to know. In the meantime, here is what we know and what, additionally, we guess: We know that Hannah (Halbeck) Clarke was the mother of Phoebe (Clarke) Heaton. We suspect that Hannah was married to Robert Clarke and that he was Phoebe's father. We further suspect that the older John Clarke may have been Robert's brother or father, and that the younger John Clarke and James Clarke were sons of either Robert or John.2,3,4,1,5

(Neighbor) Research Notes1800To answer our questions about Washington Heaton, we needed to begin in Washington County, Pennsylvania because the earliest record we found for him was there on the 1800 census. Enumeration of Heads of Households on the census that year, for each county, was taken by location within the county, so we were able to see more specifically where the various Heaton families lived and their proximity to each other. Eight Heaton heads of household were enumerated that year in Washington County and five, including Washington, were in East Bethlehem: Washington Heaton, Henry Heaton, John Heaton Sr., John Heaton Jr. and James Heaton. The remaining three Heaton families each lived in separate places: Myles Haidan, who had been enumerated as Miles HEATON in 1790, was in West Bethlehem, John Heaton was in Morris Township, and Thomas Heaton was in Somerset. Our challenge, as we identified it, was to find out who each of these people were in the hopes of finding a connection to Washington or, even better, a father or brother. At the very least we needed one or more clues to pursue. It was wonderful when we discovered that Thomas Heaton of Somerset turned out to hold the ultimate clue we'd been looking for.

Robert Clarke, John Clarke and John Clarke, whom we suspected might turn out to be related to Washington's wife Phoebe, were also enumerated in 1800 in East Bethlehem. John's household consisted of 9 people, 1 free white male aged 45 and over, 1 free white female aged 26 thru 44, 1 free white male aged 16 thru 25, 1 free white female aged 16 thru 25, 3 free white females aged 10 to 15, and 2 free white females under age 10.6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,2,1 
Census US 1800*1800John Clarke appeared on the census taken in 1800 in East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. His household consisted of nine people: one male age 45 and over, whom we believe was John, one female age 26 thru 44, probably his wife, one male age 16 thru 25, one female age 16 thru 25, three females age 10 thru 15 and two females under 10. Robert Clarke and a younger John Clarke were also enumerated in East Bethlehem in 1800. As we continue our research to identify Washington Heaton's and Phoebe (Clark) Heaton's parentage and extended families, we are working to determine what relationships existed between the other 1800 East Bethlehem Heaton and Clark(e) families.1 
Census US 1810*1810John Clarke appeared on the census taken in 1810 in East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. His household consisted of 3 people, 1 free white male aged 45 and over, 1 free white female aged 45 and over, and 1 free white female aged 16 thru 25.14

Birth*Martha Clarke was born in County Cavan, Ireland.1 
Marriage*She married Richard Bell, son of Robert Bell and Frances Booth.1 
(Daughter 1) Estate and LandHer father's will began with his direction to be interred in the Churchyard of Kilmore. He then directed that his estate, which he described as his substance and chattel, real and personal, shall be put in trust and named John Bell of Creevy, Andrew Bell and Richard Bell as trustees. His will identified the contents of the trust to be as follows: His title to the towns and lands of Cornadowagh in County Longford, Drumheel, Drumhat, Drumlion, Drumnalaragh, Drummury, Newtown, Killycreeny, Urney, Cornaseer, Aghaconny with the mill thereon, the part of Croaghan called Shrainacoshi, Brockahusna, and the oak wood called Shanna Wood all in County Cavan in trust.

He directed that his daughter Martha Bell alias Clarke be permitted to hold an equal half of said lands for her life with power should she die without male or female issue to charge same with £600 by deed or will, but should she leave issue to devise sesame to said issue as she thinks proper, failing said issue, same to his grandson Ralph Bell and his male heirs, failing such to his grandson Richard Bell and his male heirs, failing such to his granddaughter Mary Anne Bell and her male issue, failing such to my daughter Catherine (Clarke) Bell alias Clarke to be disbursed of by her will as she thinks proper. Ralph devised the other half of his said lands to his daughter Catherine Bell alias Clarke for her life and at her decease to her issue as she thinks proper by deed or will, and should she leave no issue, then to her and her heirs as she shall devise.

In case of the death of his daughter Martha without issue as aforesaid, and she die before his grandson Ralph Bell was 21, his trustees were directed to receive the profits thereof for his use until he was 21.

He stated his desire that said Ralph Bell, or any other heirs of said lands, shall take the surname of Clarke.

He bequeathed £500 to his granddaughter Mary Anne Bell to be invested for her use. He gave £570 remainder of the partition with his daughter to his son-in-law Richard Bell. To his sister Catherine Stephens alias Clarke he gave £20, and to his natural daughter Ann Rutledge, wife to Charles Rutledge of Belturbet, he bequeathed £10 a year for her life payable to her by his two daughters equally.

He directed that is devises or legatees who shall succeed to his estate were to keep his hounds for hunting and support them out of his property or to forfeit their legacy.

Ralph's will appointed his nephew John Bell and his sons-in-law Andrew Bell and Richard Bell trustees and named his granddaughter Mary Anne Bell to be residuary legatee. The will was witnessed by Peter Clarke, Charles Fitzpatrick and Tim Condly.1

Research Notes*While we feel fairly confident that these CLARKE people are related, we are not at all certain we have identified their relationships correctly. If anyone has answers for us, we would really love to know. In the meantime, here is what we know and what, additionally, we guess: We know that Hannah (Halbeck) Clarke was the mother of Phoebe (Clarke) Heaton. We suspect that Hannah was married to Robert Clarke and that he was Phoebe's father. We further suspect that the older John Clarke may have been Robert's brother or father, and that the younger John Clarke and James Clarke were sons of either Robert or John.3,1,4,5,6 
Birth*between 1756 and 1774Robert Clarke was probably born between 1756 and 1774.1 
Marriage*He married Hannah Halbeck.7 
(Neighbor) Research Notes1800To answer our questions about Washington Heaton, we needed to begin in Washington County, Pennsylvania because the earliest record we found for him was there on the 1800 census. Enumeration of Heads of Households on the census that year, for each county, was taken by location within the county, so we were able to see more specifically where the various Heaton families lived and their proximity to each other. Eight Heaton heads of household were enumerated that year in Washington County and five, including Washington, were in East Bethlehem: Washington Heaton, Henry Heaton, John Heaton Sr., John Heaton Jr. and James Heaton. The remaining three Heaton families each lived in separate places: Myles Haidan, who had been enumerated as Miles HEATON in 1790, was in West Bethlehem, John Heaton was in Morris Township, and Thomas Heaton was in Somerset. Our challenge, as we identified it, was to find out who each of these people were in the hopes of finding a connection to Washington or, even better, a father or brother. At the very least we needed one or more clues to pursue. It was wonderful when we discovered that Thomas Heaton of Somerset turned out to hold the ultimate clue we'd been looking for.

Robert Clarke, John Clarke and John Clarke, whom we suspected might turn out to be related to Washington's wife Phoebe, were also enumerated in 1800 in East Bethlehem. Robert's household consisted of 4 people, 2 free white males aged 26 thru 44, 1 free white female aged 45 and over, and 1 free white male aged 16 thru 25.8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,1,3 
Death*before 1810He probably died before 1810, when his widow Hannah Clarke appeared on the census as the head of her household in Washington County.4 
(Neighbor) Administration29 February 1812The final accounting for the estate of Thomas Heaton, dated 29 February 1812, reported a zero balance after a total amount of $1,848.62 in credits and debits. The itemized list of those who had received disbursements included two of Thomas's brothers, John Heaton and Washington Heaton, and Robert Clarke's name was listed next after Washington's. The document submitted and registered by the court in Washington County was signed by Martha Hardgrove and Duncan Campbell, administrators, and Isaac Kerr, Register.2
