Surname: Pope, Clark
-------------------------
Looking for Mrs. Chas. E. Clark, living in Cedar RApids, Iowa in 1908.
This woman is listed in the obituary of William L. Pope as his sister.
She was probably born between 1860 & 1870, either in Michigan or in Cedar
Rapids, Linn County, Iowa.
Thank you very much!
Hello! My name is Dennis Clark. I was born in 1756 in Frederick Co., MD. I
have no recollection of having siblings and I don't remember the names of my
mother and father. I do know that I served as a soldier in the Revolutionary
War. I don't no why, but I was in Bedford Co., PA, in 1775 when I
volunteered to serve for ninety days the first time. My officers were Col.
John Piper, Capt. James Buck, and Lt. Clugage. I volunteered again in the
same place in the fall of 1776 and my officers remained the same as before.
This time my unit marched to Philadelphia and then to Princeton and was
engaged in a battle there. George Washington was in command. My unit then
marched to Morristown where I was again discharged. After this discharge I
resided near Winchester, VA, where I volunteered again in 1781. My officers
were Col. William Dark, Maj. James Scott, Capt. Thomas Gilkinson, and Lt.
Samuel Neil. My unit marched to Bowling Green, VA, and pursued the British
under Lord Cornwallis to Williamsburg. We remained there under orders of
Gen. Anthony Wayne until Gen. Washington and the main body of the colonial
army came up. I was engaged for some time in assisting French forces to land
and was then engaged from Sep 28 to Oct 19 in the Battle of Yorktown. After
this battle my brigade, under Gen. Stephens, marched British prisoners to
Frederick Co., VA, my home county. Having served my three month term I was
honorably discharged, but immediately volunteered for another three months to
guard the prisoners at Winchester Barricks and to march them to Maryland
where they were turned over to the MD militia.
I am a little hazy on just what I did and where I lived from the end of the
war until 1806. I believe that after leaving Frederick Co., VA, I moved west
and may have spent some time in the part of Virginia that was later to become
West Virginia. I know that in the spring of 1806 I purchased the fractional
section number ten, in township number one, east, in the district of land
offered for sale at Cincinnati, OH, for $2 an acre. I paid the first
installment of $145.55 for one quarter of the full purchase price for the
291.1 acres of land. On Aug 17, 1808, I paid the second installment of
$165.73. When the last installment came due I called at the receiver's
office with the full amount of the principal and interest. The payment was
rejected because of an allegation that the lot of land contained a surplus of
73.1 acres per the surveyor's returns in the register's office. More money
was demanded. I was unable to pay the additional sum and was forced to
forfeit the land to the United States. This land was later purchased by
another individual and upon the completion of a resurvey it was determined
that the plot of land did, in fact, consist of only 291.1 acres. When I
learned of this fact I called on the receiver of public monies and requested
a return of my money but was informed by the receiver that he had no power to
grant the request. As a result of the forfeiture I was left in a state of
poverty. The unfairness was compounded by the fact that during the time the
land was in my possession it was improved and its value greatly enhanced.
While it was purchased for $2 an acre its value at the time of the forfeiture
was $10 an acre.
Things are a little hazy for the next few years but I do seem to remember
teaching school in Hamilton Co., OH, for a while. The forfeiture of the land
bore on my mind and I finally petitioned the Congress of the United States
for a return of my money. On April 18, 1814, Congress approved my petition
and my money was returned with interest. With it came the option for me to
purchase a quarter section of land in the same area for the price of $2 per
acre.
My situation had changed somewhat while I taught school and I purchased 60
acres from William Jackson. In 1812 I moved westward to a part of Knox Co.,
IN, that later became Daviess Co. On April 13, 1814, my wife, Mary, and I
deeded our land in Ohio to Will Clark. I mention my wife's given name here
but I just can't remember what her surname was or where and when we got
married. I am not sure but I think that Will Clark was one of my sons. In
Indiana I became an auctioneer and cried the sale of the contracts for the
first courthouse and jail in the newly formed county. I made a land entry
for the Northeast quarter of Section 17, Township 3, Range 6. On April 21,
1817, I was sworn in as a member of the first grand jury in the county. A
great sale of lots occurred in Washington, IN, on June 9th and 10th, 1917 and
I purchased Lot #90 for $26.00.
Two sons, Westley and Walter, moved to Indiana with my wife and I. Both
provided me with numerous grandchildren. One of Walter's sons, also named
Dennis went on to become a rather well known judge in Knox Co. IL. Westley
married a Daviess Co. girl, Sarah Osmon, and raised his family there. Two of
their children participated in the California gold rush and have some very
interesting stories to tell about the experience.
I don't know when my wife died but by 1830 the census shows that I was the
head of a household consisting of me and a teenage female. I suspect that I
my age was catching up with me and that I had a young girl, perhaps one of my
granddaughters, staying to help me. In 1831 I returned to Hamilton Co., OH.
I must have been pretty senile by that time for I don't know where I lived.
I do think this move suggests that I had children that I had left behind
there when I moved to Indiana.
On 6/7/1932 Congress passed an act to provide pensions to veterans of the
Rev. War. On 8/18/1832 I appeared in person before the Court of Common Pleas
in Hamilton Co., OH, was sworn in, and on my oath made a declaration to
obtain benefit of that act. Appearing to vouch for me and sign the legal
certificate that the court had prepared were my acquaintances, Nathan Emmery,
a Cincinnati clergyman, and Hugh McDugal, a Cincinnati resident. I was quite
senile by then and was no longer able to sign my name so I endorsed the
application with an X. The pension was approved, but by the time the first
check arrived in Cincinnati in July 1833, I was dead.
It is obvious that I got the idea for presenting Dennis Clark's story in this
manner from another letter that appeared recently on this forum. Dennis was
one of my ggggrandfathers. I sure would like to be able to fill in the
blanks.
John D. Clark (the D. is for Dennis)

It's there - takes about 10 sec. to load... neat site!
they have about a dozen Cemeteries with CLARKs listed, then when you go to
the individual cemetery there are more! Like the format.

No mine were in New York City. My dad was born in Connecticut spent most of
his childhood years in New Brunswick Canada around St. Andrews on one side of
Passamaquoddy Bay and in Calais, Maine on the other side. My dad said he
remembered hearing about a Passamaquoddy Indian who married his? ancestor,
her name was Ethel Running Waters and she married a Clark but that's all he
could remember. My grandfather's name was William Murray Clark and he married
Myrtle McCarthy who was from Calais, Maine.
My Grandfather had a sister named Lydia Clark she is mentioned as being the
maid of honor in a newspaper clipping about my grandparents marriage. Don't
know if any of this ties in with what your looking for. But if it does I will
try and dig up more information. // Ellen Clark-Hayes
I don't believe any of my family of Clark were from Kansas, most of mine were
from the New York and New England area,
and New Brunswick Canada. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Oh my. I hope nobody yelled at you. I thought it was refreshingly funny
and memorable. And nothing about it was inappropriate.
