Research Notes - Famous & Infamous, ver. 1.1

Abraham Clark - signer of Declaration of Independence from NJ - great grandson of Richard Clark 3. Abraham b. 2/15/1726, d. 9/15/1794 age 50 at signing, lawyer, surveyor, buried Presbyterian Church cemetery, Rahway, NJ.
"A Jersey boy from birth and the only child in a farming familiy, Clark did not receive much formal education. Yet, he made the most of his limited access to teachers and books and found work as a local surveyor and resident go-to guy for legal advice. Though apparently he was never admitted to the bar, Clark was known as the "Poor Man's Counselor" due to his willingness to help folks with land disputes, mortgages, and other small legal matters, often for no payment. . . .
