Andrew Clark married, 1671, in Boston, Mehitable Scotto, daughter of Thomas and Joan (Sanford) Scotto, baptized February 11, 1649. The family of Scotto was of some note in the early history of Boston. They are said to trace back to the year 1120, and the name was originally Scot-howe, which signified a portion of the hillside. In the early records it is variously written Scotto, Scottoe, Scottow and Scottoa.
