Samuel Clarke (1766-1842) was christened 14 FEB 1766 at Rotherham. He was converted in early life and in 1812 he founded a Methodist Society consisting of nine members. At this time, Samuel was a tenant of Hellaby Hall, owned by Sir John Eden. The estate included two farms in Maltby. Samuel Clark invited Methodist members to meet at one of the farms. He was Rotherham District Steward on five occasions and a local preacher from 1808.
By 1832 the Maltby Society had grown to 39 members. Samuel was also a trustee of several chapels and supported many Methodist causes and had a particular interest in the distribution of periodicals and other publications.
It is not clear who Samuel married. He had a daughter Charlotte born about 1819 - no evidence of birth or christening, marriage cert only. The Bishop's Transcripts have details of Samuel and Dinah Clarke (Nee Eyre) m. 17 FEB 1800 Sheffield, who had 6 children:
At the time of his death in 1842, he was resident at Hellaby Hall and was buried June 30th, 1842 by George Rolleston, in the Churchyard. The register contains the names of other members of Clark's family. In those early days the Methodists had no hesitation in using the local Parish Church for burials etc. because in the beginning Methodism was not opposed to the Parish Churches and the Clergy.
