Richard Clarke

CLARKE, Richard, merchant, born about 1708; died in England in 1795. He was graduated at Harvard in 1729. He became a merchant in Boston, and he and his sons were consignees of part of the tea that was thrown overboard by the "tea-party" in Boston harbor in December, 1773. Having been harshly used by the Whigs, he left Boston for England, arriving in that country on 24 December, 1775. He was one of the original members of the Loyalist club, which was organized in the following year. He lived with his son-in-law Copley, the painter, in Leicester square, London.
