Hello fellow listers,
This is my first message to this list, so I'll introduce my interest in a
CLARK line in WV.
My wife descends from a Clark family that left Ireland in the 1790s and
settled in Hampshire County, VA (now WV).
The immigrants were Archibald Clark (father), Margaret Clark (his wife),
and four children - Samuel, Gabriel, Archibald, and Nancy. I do not know
if Margaret was the mother of any of the children.
The family lived in Hampshire County during the 1790s and early 1800s.
Abount 1805 various members of the family began to move to Ohio,
eventually all settling in or near Bethlehem TWP, Coshocton County. All
of them except Archibald, Jr. remained in Coshocton County, OH until
their death. Archibald Clark, Jr. and his own family moved to Carroll
County, Indiana in 1830 and he died there.
All four of the children married and had children.
The bmd dates for these folks are:
1. Archibald (Sr.) born c1740-50, died 27 Dec 1822.
2. Samuel born c1773, died 23 Aug 1853, married Rachel Clark c1793,
Hampshire County, VA (now WV).
3. Gabriel born c1775, died 5 Sept 1851
4. Archibald (Jr.) born c 1775-80, died Nov/Dec 1836, married Susannah
Grove 23 August 1804, Berkeley County, VA (now WV).
5. Nancy born c1775-85, died 6 May 1829, married John Steerman 15 Jan
1804, Hampshire County VA (now WV).
I would be delighted to exchange info with other persons researching this
family. I have considerable info on descendants, and a limited number of
clues surrounding the family's Irish origins.

Hi Clark List;
I know everyone dreams of being connected with the famous CLARK of the
LEWIS & CLARK expedition, but I am trying to find out if there is any way
possible my husband could be connected and the reason being: CLARK's
grandson went on an expedition retracing the trail of this team.
There was a picture posted at the Grave of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau
by Anonymous on 8/10/2001 and the Grandson would pass for my husband's Father
as a twin, so it really got my curiosity going, but have been unable to find
out any other information on the Grandson or his lineage.
Just curious if anyone out there has any information on this Grandson's
lineage, etc.
Gladys Clark

Hi Les, glad to see that you are feeling better! Your Elizabeth CLARK
interests me. She was married to a WRIGHT. She named her first son Isaac
Clark WRIGHT. Well, a brother to my GGG-grandfather Samuel CLARK, named Isaac
CLARK married Jane LEMLEY. Isaac and Jane had a daughter Mary E. (Elizabeth?)
who married an Absolom WRIGHT (his parents not known at present). Is it
possible that your Elizabeth was a sister to Samuel, Isaac and Abisha CLARK?
Back in those days many first cousin marriages happened. It is very possible
that Isaac and Jane CLARK's daughter Mary E. was married to her cousin,
Absolom WRIGHT. I still do not know the name of the parents of Samuel, Isaac
and Thomas. I have sent for the Civil War file at NARA on Samuel hoping that
his parents names might be in the papers. I think we exchanged info some time
ago and never pinpointed a definite connection but I am going to be
interested in anything that you find on your Elizabeth and her husband and
children.

Case of Iva B. Clark No. 1005683
On this Sixth day of August, 1914, at near Parkersburg county of Wood
State of West VA, before me, George M. Beckett a special examiner of the
Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Christena Martin who, being by
me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to
her during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension
deposes and says:
I will be 67 years of age on Sept. 25th next. P. O. Parkersburg, WV
R.F.D. #2. Res. about 1 ½ miles from North Parkersburg. Wife of
Presley Martin and a daughter of the late Isaac and Jane Clark. I know
the claimant but I did not know her until after she married Joseph
Thomas Clark, this soldier who was a son of my uncle Samuel Clark. We
usually called him Tom. He was living with my father when he enlisted
in the 6th W.Va Inf. bridge guards. His father and his own brother
Abisha enlisted in the same regiment and Uncle Samuel died a soldier at
Cumberland of smallpox. No sir, Joseph Thomas Clark had no other army
service. Oh yes, I was with Joseph Thomas Clark until he enlisted and
from my childhood. He was living at my home when he enlisted. For
years he made his home ~ before he enlisted ~ at our house and at Uncle
Abisha Clark’s ~ we both lived north of here near Briscoe Church. He
and his stepmother did not get along together well so he did not stay at
home much. No sir, I have no knowledge that Joseph Thomas Clark married
before he enlisted in the army nor while a solder. I have no knowledge
that he married until after he came home from the army discharged and
then not until some two or three years afterwards. Well he then married
a Miss Kincheloe. I never have known the Kincheloe family except a
sister Mary Catharine Taylor who is living. From the time he came from
the army discharged until his reported marriage to Miss Iva Kincheloe he
made my parents house his home but worked around the neighborhood as a
farm hand and at saw milling. Working on Mr. Kincheloe’s saw mill when
he married his daughter Iva who was not previously married that I know
of. Well, I heard that Tom and Iva Kincheloe went up the river
somewhere & married. No, I never saw their marriage certificate if they
had one. Yes sir, I feel positive that Joseph Thomas Clark, my cousin,
who served in the 6th W Va Inf. never married except to Iva Kincheloe of
this neighborhood. I certainly would know it if he had had another
marriage. They lived together continuously till he died in Nebraska so
far as I know. Had several children. No interested in this case. I
have fully understood the questions and my answers are correctly
recorded as read to me.

and her brother Taylor Kincheloe.
Well the late soldier was a first cousin of mine, a son of my uncle Samuel
Clark. No I do not know in what regiment but the father and his brother
"Bish" served together. So far as I know Thomas was his full given name. Well
if Joseph was a part of his name, I do not recall that fact if I ever knew.
We called him Tom, this is what we called him. He stayed at our home, and
Uncle Bish's a great deal. After he came from the army he made our house his
home a great deal, the time till he married Iva Kincheloe, working about the
neighborhood in Pond Run east of Briscoe Church. No I never knew him to make
his home elsewhere.
On the river at times, but still made our house and Uncle Bish's house his
home. No sir, I have no knowledge that he was in but once, but the one time.
No sir, I have no knowledge whatever that Thomas Clark, my cousin the soldier
was married except to Iva Kincheloe. I'm positive of that. I never saw
claimant until the day she returned home from their wedding trip, but I do
not recall as to when they married. Whether they had a marriage certificate,
I do not recollect. At any rate there was no question but what they were
lawfully married.
I didn't think Tom Clark was the kind of man that would have an unlawful
marriage performed. No sir, I have never heard that claimant was previously
married. She was young at marriage. On the day they returned from their
marriage trip my parents gave them a dinner I think. They began housekeeping
in our neighborhood, had children born to them and their marriage was not
questioned. Never separated that I know. Removed to Nebraska. Not interested.
I fully understand these questions and my answers are correctly recorded as
read to me.

Notes for ELSIE CLARK:
Deposition 10
Case of Iva E. Clark, No. 1005683
On the fifth day of August, 1914, at Briscoe Church (Central Stop) county of
Wood, State of West Virginia before me, George M. Beckett, a special examiner
of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Elsie McAtee, who being by me
first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to her during
this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension deposes and says:
"I am 57 years of age. I was born April 11, 1855 and not far from here. My
father was Isaac Clark, P. O. Parkersburg, WV, R. F. D. #1. I reside at
Central Stop and Briscoe Church. Yes, I know the claimant. She was Iva
Kincheloe and a sister of Taylor Kincheloe. She is of light complexion and
was quite fleshy when I last saw her. They went from Worthington Creek to
Nebraska. The soldier and late husband of the claimant was named Joseph
Thomas Clark, but we always called him "Tom". He was a short heavyset man of
dark complexion.
Forget the color of his eyes. He was a first cousin of mine. I saw his
father, who was named Samuel but I do not know his mother's name. I never saw
her. Their home was not about here. They probably lived in Monongalia County,
WV for that is where my people came from. Soldier had a brother, "Bishey" and
Miller. If another brother or sister, I know nothing about him or her. I
don't know what became of Miller. Never saw him but once that I know of.
"Bishey" served in the Union army with Joseph Thomas Clark, his brother. They
served together but I can't say in what regiment. I remember mother Jane
Clark sending "Tom" and "Bishey" a box off somewhere, while they were
soldiers and that the box contained chicken and other goodies. Well it is my
recollection that Tom and Bishey Clark made my parents house their home, when
boys and that was about 2 east of here in Pond Run.
It is my understanding that my parents practically raised them before they
enlisted. Tom had run on the river some before he enlisted, so he afterward
told me. Ran in the Kate _________(unreadable). I no doubt saw them before
they enlisted. At any rate I recall well about them being in the service.
"Tom" came back to our home from the army but "Bishey" did not. But he,
"Tom", did not remain continuously at our home until marriage. Worked about
the neighborhood and on saw mills.
I think he was working for Mr. Kincheloe in a saw mill when he married his
daughter Ivy. From my earliest recollection of Tom Clark, I do not recall
that he was out of this neighborhood except possibly for short periods except
while a soldier. No sir, I don't think he was in the army more than once. I
do not recall about the marriage of Tom Clark to Ivy Kincheloe, but I heard
Tom Clark laugh about him running off to get married, but I can't say when.
No sir, Joseph Thomas Clark was never married except to Ivy Kincheloe. I feel
positive that he was not previously married. She was about 17 and he about 30
when they married. So far as I know, they lived together continuously. Well
by ? 28 before signing. Well if his complexion was light, his beard was dark.
Not interested. I have fully understood the questions and my answers as
correctly recorded and as read to me.

How may I find information on JAMES H. CLARK, b. 1820, VA. He moved to TN, and married MARY ANN WRAY, b. 1-15-1825, Tn, probably. She died in BETHPAGE, TN , 1878.
JAMES H. CLARK is listed as a seller of TALENT MEDICINE, (PATENT MEDICINE). I have come to a dead end. I would love to know where he was born, his parents or silbings. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
His son JAMES RICHARD CLARK, was b. 1841, TN .

Hello WV Clark researchers,
My stone wall for my Clark research is my 2nd great grandmother Elizabeth
Catherine C;ARK, born about 1826 and possibly in Mason County.
Elizabeth did marry Thomas Nathan WRIGHT about 1845. They had ten children
born between 1846 and 1867, five boys and five girls.
The first son was named Isaac Clark WRIGHT was born in 1848. Was he named
for her father or is this a combination of the names of two ancestors.
One grandson of Elizabeth and Nathan told me a few years ago that Elizabeth
told his mother that she was daughter of the famous Indian fighter and
Explorer. Of the two CLARK brothers that I know of that would fit this
description, both were travelling up and down the Ohio River during this
time period and could have stopped in Pt. Pleasant, but one never married
or claimed off-spring and the other had a wife who was expecting back in
old Virginia. These facts do not rule out the possibility of either one
being the father but I have yet to find anything to support this family legend.
If anyone has a possible CLARK family that Elizabeth may belong to, I can
provide names of her ten children to see if there are any matches to unique
names.

To whomever might read this:
I am searching for my Clarke/Clark ancestors from Preston County, VA/WV.
Do you know or can you help me locate a source?
I am trying to locate if in fact that my g.g.grandparents Laughlin Clark/Loughlin Clark/Lockey Clark did marry in Tunnelton Mary Catherine Stemple from Preston County. If so I have been told that they married on April 14, 1873 cause my g.grandfather John W. Clark was born May 14, 1873 in the Kingwood District in Preston County. So do you have any ideas.
Thanks

This is Roy Lockhart's response and directing me.
Melinda,
I prefer to direct my reply thru the List.
The published Preston Co marriage records 1869-1885 includes this
marriage:
April 14, 1873
Laughlin Clark, 55, born Ireland, residence Preston Co
Mary C Stemple, 30, born Barber [Barbour] Co, residence Preston Co
I don't have access to the original marriage book.

Down Texas way, we are looking for Christopher Clark, whose daughter
was Catherine Clark b May 6, 1794in Lincoln Co, Ky, d Feb 4, 1888
Gonzalez Co, Tx. She mar my Joseph Hill McCoy abt 1815 in Missouri, and
moved to Texas shortly thereafter. Sons named Prospect Clark McCoy
-Green McCoy- and Christopher McCoy, and a daughter Elizabeth. I am
hoping the odd names of Prospect and Green might latch them back to a
line of Clarks.
Christopher Charles Clark may have been born in Troy, not sure if in Ky
or ?? was mar to Elizabeth Adams about 1790 in Mo. They had a son named
David b abt 1792 as well as my Catherine. He was a Col in the US Army.
Came to Texas about 1826. Any suggestions, help really appreciated.
Thanks, Jean
