I'm new to this list. Does anyone have Alanson Silas Clark in their
tree. Alanson was born 19 March 1822. Haven't been able to go back any
further. Alanson Silas Clark came from MA and married Julia Maude
Sweet in NY .
In my family tree Ida Estella Clark born 1868, married William Silas
Perkins in 1890. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Hi.... Do we know that the name is LUMAN CLARK rather than Lyman Clark?
Out of over 25,000 names, I don't have another LUMAN. Could someone have
read the name incorrectly from some document?

L.L.D., assisted by H. Perry Smith & W. Stanley Child, Syracuse, N.Y., D. Mason &
Company Publishers, 1895.
CLARK, Henry L., was born December 8, 1854, a grandson of Silas and Rebekah Clark
(born in New England in the year 1772, who died in Richland, in November 18, 1828, aged
fifty-six years, and she January 2, 1851, aged seventy-eight years, nine months), and a son
of Lewis C., born in Vernon, Oneida county, N.Y., November 4, 1803, who removed to
Richland in the fall of 1822 on the farm now owned by Henry L., where he lived to the time
of his death, March 20, 1872, aged sixty-eight years, four months. The latter married Harriet
Brace of Pennsylvania October 2, 1826, who died November 18, 1847, aged forty-three
years. Their children were Sarah J., Clarisa A., Harriet L., Dolly A., Elmira M., Mary E., Olin
S., Helen A., John W. He afterwards married Esther E. Easton, of Richland, August 20,
1848, who died March 14, 1861, aged forty-four years. Their children were Lois E. and
Henry L., all deceased except Olin and Henry. He married Julia A. Brown, of Fulton, May 27,
1862, who now survives. He served as assessor and highway commissioner. This family
was one of the first to settle in Richland and the original farm is the one now owned by
Henry L. The latter was educated in Richland and Pulaski Academies, taught school in
Oswego county four years terms, then settled on the homestead, where he has since
remained. June 26, 1876, he married Flora A. Trumbull, daughter of Hiram N. and Mary E.
Trumbull of Sandy Creek. They had these children: Mary E., born September 12, 1877; H.
Lewis, born August 24, 1879; Edwin E., born July 6, 1881; Herbert S., born June 30, 1886;
Clayton F., born July 28, 1889; Norman L., born August 25, 1891. Of these children, H.
Lewis died July 20, 1830(?). The father of Henry L. was an active member of the Methodist
Church and held the position of trustee for many years, up to the time of his death.
While searching for Eli on Google, I ran across this page with his brother
Silas CLARK. The marriage matches what John Alonzo CLARK gives in his
"The Family of Ruben CLARK".
http://www.geocities.com/heartland/flats/2791/clark4.html
Jane
Jane,Joe et al: According to John Alonzo Clark who was alive and
chronicled all of his aunts & uncles names and marriages ,etc. Reuben
had 11 children. 10 of whom lived to adulthood. The order of their
birth according to him: Anna, Samuel, Daniel, Mary, John (John Alonzo's
father), Reuben, Thomas, Silas, Phebe and Eli.
There is further mention that Reuben (his grandfather went to live with
his younger son Eli in western NY where he died in a fit walking the
fields.
I haven't searched for Eli in Western NY. Has anyone?
Michael Owens has entered much of the information on his web site which
can be viewed and copied/dowloaded. Jane, I believe I sent you this
also. It was sent to me by Elaine Childs of Salt Lake City.
Nancy
Hi Jane... (et al)
------snip
Has anyone been
able to trace Reuben[5] to New York and discover where he died? I had
always assumed that he had settled with his son, Samuel, but I've found
no
mention of him being buried in Pine Hill Cemetery in Elba. Could he have
settled in Barre, or might this be his son Reuben?
------snip
Is there a Reuben6, son of Reuben5? I only had Samuel, John, & Thomas as
sons of Reuben5. Are there other children?
Thanks

We know that Lemuel [7]CLARK [Samuel6, Ruben5, Pealtiah4, William3,
Joseph2, William1] had settled in Barre, Orleans Co., NY, by 1830 when he
was listed in the census. He had originally settled in Elba Twp., Genesee
Co., NY, with his parents, Samuel & Mary [LEE} CLARK about 1802, moved
briefly to East Union Twp, Wayne Co , Ohio where he is listed in the Ohio
1820 census and most likely was back in New York by 1825 when his wife
Rosanna [RICH] CLARK died.
Samuel & Mary both died in Elba Twp. and are buried in the Pine Hill
Cemetery there.
However, the only information I have on Reuben[5] is that he died in Western
New York. This morning, I found - on the web, courtesy of Deb Axtman &
Holice Young - The Pioneer History of Orleans County, NY, by Arad Thomas.
In the chapter on the history of Barre, it says "Among the first settlers in
Barre were William McCollister, Lansing Bailey, Joseph Hart, Joseph
Stoddard, Elijah Darrow, Reuben Clark and Silas Benton." Has anyone been
able to trace Reuben[5] to New York and discover where he died? I had
always assumed that he had settled with his son, Samuel, but I've found no
mention of him being buried in Pine Hill Cemetery in Elba. Could he have
settled in Barre, or might this be his son Reuben?
Try this one. It came out wrong the 1st time.

I am sure that if our "list Mom" Jane Devlin is following this she will
give us her expertise on the matter as well.
Steve, are you referring perhaps to the Thomas Tucker site? This has
been discussed at length on this list. I believe that it has been the
general opinion that the parents of Wm. Clark of Haddam were NOT Thomas
Clark and Rose Keredge, therefore the other two generations would not
apply either. This was a Rhode Island family and I don't believe
related.
Also the actual birth date of Wm. Clark of Haddam has not been
definitely established as far as I know.
Perhaps you might see if you could find discussion of this subject via
the Archives on Rootsweb for Wm. Clark of Haddam
Nancy Vogt
That's the one. He's my 8th Ggrandfather.
