After the death of her husband she went to live in Maine with her son, John


Sarah Barton said in the Clark Book:
"When I was fifteen I married the youngest son of the then rich Major Clark, of Epping, New Hampshire, and
we went to live in a big white house on a large farm. Your grandfather was the youngest son, and his parents wished us to stay with them, as the other sons had chosen professions and gone. We did so, and in less than two years Continental money was worthless and Major Clark
found himself a poor man. We left the big farm and they went to live with us in less pretentious quarters."

She was very aristocratic.She did not accept the Saviour as her Saviour until she was ninety-six years old. She lived six months after, and died happy, only regretting that she had delayed so long. When her husband, Stephen Clark, was elected Major, probably near the close of the  Revolutionary War, her townsmen came to show their respect for Major Clark's wife by firing guns around her.

She was dressed in a pink silk, which she gave to a Mrs. Nancy Eastman, of Union, Maine, just before her death. My aunt Eunice Bartlett remembers the dress, and that her grandmother was proud of the attention she received,
and kept the dress as a memento.
