Arthur William Moore, M.A., Old Manx Families, 1889: The Clarke's of the Nappin, Jurby: This family are supposed to have come to the Isle of Man from Ayrshire early
in the 13th century. Shortly after this we find that they presented land to build Jurby church upon and also for a glebe, their properties of the East and West Nappin
being close to the church. In 1570, Ellin Clarke, the heiress of the East Nappin, married John Cain and this property continued for several generations in the Cain
family till the heiress married a Christian. She had two sisters, one of whom married Lace of Ballavoddan, an ancestor of Deemster Lace; the other, Mary, John Clarke
of the West Nappin, which property still belongs to the family. Their grandson, the Rev. J.T. Clarke is living (1888) at the age of 87. He is a Manx Scholar and
wrote the English-Manx portion of Kelly's dictionary. He has issue the Rev. B.P.Clarke, Vicar of Marown, and the Rev. ... ..., a master at Repton School ... and
two daughters....
According to the late Rev. J. T. Clarke, a Clarke was proprietor of both the West and East Nappin as far back as 1213, this date being found cut on a stone in the
foundations of the old church, at the time the new church was built in 1813, with a statement that this Clarke had given the land on which the church was erected.
Tradition has it that the East Nappin was bestowed upon an only daughter, who married a Cain, and we know that that name continued in the East Nappin till the 18th
century, when the Cain family consisted of three daughters. The eldest married the Rev John Christian, Vicar of Jurby (1698-1747) and their son William [sic, Thomas],
Sumner General and Captain of the Parish, married Miss Christian, heiress of Ballamoar in the same parish. In this way, the two properties were united. They had an
only daughter who married a Moore of Pulrose, and again there was an only daughter who married Robert Farrant High Bailiff of Peel, and had issue William ... The
