“Benjamin Newberry: Daniel Clarke (6th S. ii. 128, 148) There is a pedigree for a Newborough family in the Visitation of Somersetshire, 1623 (Harl. Soc. p. 78) But both these names occur in the parish registers of Oldawinford, Worcestershire. Benjamin, the son of Jasper Newborough was baptized there in 1619. He married in 1643, Joice Hickman and had issue. The name occurs frequently, the favourite baptismal names being Jasper and Joshua. In January, 1668-9 Samuel Clarke and Margery Newbrough were married by License, and in 1707 Mr. Daniel Clarke was buried. Of this Clarke family there is a pedigree in Dr. Prattinton’s MSS in the library of the Society of Antiquaries. The name Daniel was borne by several of them. H. S. G.
