Notes:

From notes at Findagrave site:

Benjamin Clarke, second child of Joseph Clarke (1), was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, February 9, 1644. He married; 1665, Dorcas Morse. He had a grant of land in Medfield, "near the way as you go to Nantasket." His house was on Main street, opposite Pound street. The original well is said to be still in use. His house was burned by the Indians in 1676, and he built again on the same spot. What is known as the Peak House in Medfield is an addition subsequently made to his second house in or about 1762. After the old part decayed and was torn down, the present structure was moved to its present location. Its unique shape has attracted
much attention and is even believed to be one of the houses left from the burning in King Philip's war.

Benjamin Clarke was a very prominent citizen. He was for seventeen years selectman of the town and two years deputy to the general court. He died in 1724 and his widow in 1725.

** Benjamin Clark was a wheelwright. He married Dorcas Morse in 1665, and in 1668 received a grant for a house lot "on the way as you go out at Nantasket." The original well is reputed to still be in use. He was burned out by the Indians in 1676, but rebuilt upon the same spot. What is called the "Peak House" (picture on p348, History of Medfield) is an addition subsequently made to his second house, in or about 1762. After the decay of the old part, it was moved to its present location. Its unique shape has attracted much attention, and it is even popularly believed to be one of the original houses left standing by the Indians. Benjamin was a prominent man in town affairs, served on the board of selectmen seventeen times, and as a representative two years. He died 1 Dec. 1724, his widow the following year. (Tilden)

King Phillips War -- Attacked Feb 21, 1676

In this same area, the Benjamin Clark house was also burnt. Benjamin and his wife Dorcas were able to flee and safely make it to the garrison along with their children (twins Hannah and Benjamin age 10; Theophilus age 6, Tabitha age 4, and Timothy age 2) before their house also went up in flames. Clark's house was the original Peak House.
