Frances Unknown

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 4306

Notes:

Many online genealogies show Frances Randall Clark as the daughter of Philip Randall. She allegedly married 1) Joseph Clark 2) Thomas Dewey and 3) George Phelps. We have been unable to confirm this through the Dewey Family History, as Thomas Dewey's wifes maiden name is not mentioned.

Philip Randall in his will mentions the children of his dau Phillury and George Phelps, but he does not mention the children of Frances and Thomas Dewey. That would imply that the Frances who married Thomas Dewey was not his daughter.

Also, Clarence Torrey in the NYGBR 59:214-215 shows that the wife of Joseph Clark died before he did. And that the widow Frances Clark who married Thomas Dewey was not previously married to Joseph Clark, her first husband being unknown. Her maiden name is unknown, I can find no valid citation for the use of Randall as a maiden name.
