Description
Isaac Clark House
Locals know the property as the “Crane Farm,” home to the Crane family from 1878 to 1926. In 2013, the Chatham Township Historical Society placed a plaque identifying it as the Isaac Clark Farmstead, circa 1760.
Isaac Clark served as a Morris County Freeholder and as a member of the Council of Safety. He owned more than 60 acres of land. The original two-room house used beams salvaged from the collapsed balcony of the New Providence Presbyterian Church. George Washington’s surveyor, Robert Erskine, marked Clark’s ownership on a 1778 map.
Soldiers from Colonel Joseph Vose’s regiment likely quartered at the farm during the Revolution. Vose began his military career as a major in Heath’s Massachusetts Regiment and became colonel of the 1st Massachusetts Regiment in 1777. Serving under Washington, he fought in the Monmouth Campaign, then joined operations around Newport, Rhode Island. In 1781, his battalion entered Lafayette’s Division and took part in the Virginia campaign.
