Notes:

In "Anthony Roots and Branches," it is noted that Michael and Margaret Clarke and all their children except Micajah remained in Barbados.
Michael selected family names for three of his sons: Edward for his father, Christopher and Thomas for his brothers. His brother Thomas, well-documented as a son of Edward Clarke, died childless and left his grant to Michael.
It is likely than Michal and his family were Quakers, and thus subject to persecution during the Cromwell period, which may be why Michael decided to take his family out of England. They traveled with his son, Micajah, Micajah's wife Sallie Ann Moorman, and her family, the Moormans, to the Barbados. They left in the vessel Glasgow in the spring of 1699.
Children of Michael Clarke:

Notes:

Micajah Clark followed the example of his father and used family names for his sons. Edward was named for his grandfather, the ancient planter, and his uncle; Francis for his uncle and great-uncle; Christopher for his uncle and great-uncle.
Micajah, his wife, and her family joined a group and sailed in 1669 from England, with a stopover in Barbados, for America.
Michael, his wife, and their son Christopher remained in Barbados.
Captain Zachariah Moorman, Micajah's father-in-law, his wife, and Micajah and Sallie Ann continued the voyage, arriving at Somerton, Nansemond County, Virginia in 1670.
Upon immigration, Micajah Clark dropped the "e" from his last name, Clarke.

Micajah married Sallie Ann MOORMAN in 1668. Sallie (daughter of Zachariah MOORMAN and Mary Ann CANDLER) was born before 1653 in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, England; died on 5 Jan 1709/10 in Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
