Rev. Robert Clarke Family Bible

Mar12

brucetmartin@gmail.com emailed me this, can you help?

I have come upon a 1629 Bible (NT actually, with a Book of Common Prayer) that has a bookplate with the name "Rev. Robert Clarke, A.M." The bookplate looks to be late 19th C and is apparently a family crest.

The shield has crosses, dots/balls, and swans, with a large swan sitting atop the crest. The swan is standing on a tree limb with a large ball under one foot. A leaning tree is behind the crest. There is a cathedral in the far background, on an island. The Bible is bound in leather, with a swan, like the one atop the crest, on the lower spine. Any ideas as to who this Robert Clarke is?

Thanks,

Bruce Martin
