However, a joint sale under their names was made by Christies in London 15/05/1802 and appears to have dispersed this joint collection, including Salvator Rosa's Pythagoras emerging from the underworld, now in the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth.
Will of Sir Simon Haughton Clarke [formerly of Jamaica but now] of [Oak Hill] East Barnet Hertfordshire proved16/10/1832.

He left £10,000 to each of his three daughters, £20,000 to his son Philip Haughton Clarke, and £2000 to Kitty Clarke 'at present residing at Mrs Becketts' in Liverpool and an annuity of £150 p.a. He ordered the sale of Aldwick [sp?] House Bognor. He left his real estate and estates and enslaved people in Jamaica to his eldest son also Simon Haughton Clarke.
