Hello Joe,
Actually I am the one with the Elias and the Josiah Clark. As you know Joe, my line is in your database already. My Elias was born around 1755. He was reported to have emigrated from Holland and spent his early years in this country in the State of Connecticut. He enlisted for Revolutionary War service in 1775 in Goshen, Orange County NY. He married a Hiley (Heyltje) Cole in 1778 in the First Presbyterian Church in Goshen, NY. He was discharged from his Revolutionary War service in Walkill, NY. He would later spend many years living in the Milton/Genoa/Lansing area of Cayuga County (now Tompkins County) New York. By 1825 he was living in Catharine in Tioga County (now Schuyler Co.) NY. As I previously stated in 1830 he is listed in the Wayne, Steuben County New York. By 1835 he was in Villenova, Chautauqua Co. New York. Elias and Hiley had offspring named Samuel (1785)married Ruth Jay, Peter (1790) married Hannah Taylor (this is my line), Elizabeth (1789) who ma!
rried Jonathan Frost and spent her life in Catharine, Margaret (1796)who married Jesse Jay and they spent most of their life in Villenova. Elias and Hiley were reported to have had two sons named James and Josiah and I believe that one of these sons was named or went by Elias Jr. per the 1830 Census. I have land records that indicate that James was married to a woman named Mary. I have very little information about James or Josiah. I am hoping that someone will discover that they belong to this clan. Peter migrated west into Medina County Ohio in 1831 and would later (1849) move into Ionia county Michigan. Thanks
Dennis J. Clark
Dewitt, Michigan

Hi Jim et al
Both Elias & Josiah and not too common names in my data base of 25,000
Clarks... I know we conversed before and I have some of your data in my
data base...
Can you send me a descendant report and/or some details of Elias(s)
and/or Josiah spouses & kids and dates and locations and I'll try to
match these up with the others I have from other researchers...

I found this while searching for my CLARK.

Hope someone 'finds' this to be their family :)

Hello Listers,
Thanks to the help of many people from these lists, especially Bob D., Kathy
Lisai, Pam Long, Jan J., Wm. Voss, Allen Gray, Mary Ellen Z., Maude LeBlanc,
Amy Davis and Cece Bibby, I have made what I think is a major discovery in
my WORTH-PALMER line. Please forgive my ramblings, but sometimes it helps
to talk it out.
This whole thing started when I was looking up info on Marium (WORTH) CLARK
for another researcher. I put her name into the newspaper archive I
subscribe to. There was a newspaper article that had the same photograph
that I have on my dining room wall. I knew some of the people on the photo,
but not all. This article named everyone in the photo. (This was a major
discovery in itself!) Well, the photo has Marium (WORTH) CLARK sitting in
the middle and next to her is H.J.G. PALMER (this happens to be my
gg-grandfather - who I had never seen!) (Another major discovery) Any how,
it states that H.J. G. PALMER is the brother-in-law of Marium (WORTH) CLARK.
HUH? I was totally puzzled??? I had done a little research on both
families, but never put them together... Here's what I know and have
semi-proof of:
Lydia WORTH b. about 1808 (give or take) married Robert HUNKINS in April
1831 and lived in Derby Vermont. They had 3 children in Vermont and 1 more
in 1840 after they arrived in Wisconsin. Robert HUNKINS died February 25,
1845 in Wisconsin. (This information comes from "Genealogical records of
the Robert Hastings Hunkins family," by Hunkins, Hazen Hendricks, Los
Angeles, Calif.: unknown, 1961, 58 pgs.)
On December 1, 1846 in New Berlin, (at the time, Milwaukee County, but now
Waukesha County) Wisconsin, Havilah (H.J.G.) PALMER married Mrs. Lydia
Louise HUNKINS. (I have the marriage license) They raised Robert HUNKINS'
children and had two more of their own - Theodore, who died young, and
Mary - my g-grandmother. (Info from the 1850 and 1860 Federal Census for
New Berlin, Waukesha County, Wisconsin and Waukesha, Waukesha County,
Wisconsin, respectively.)
O.K. here's where things start to get even more complicated.
O.K. According to "The genealogical History of the CLARK and WORTH
Families" by Carol Clark Johnson, Lydia and Marium WORTH are daughters of
Joseph and Mary "Polly" (SAWYER) WORTH. According to this book, Joseph
WORTH's 1st marriage was to Susan TAPLIN. They had a son named Jacob WORTH
who married Lucinda DANFORTH. They had a son named Taplin Johnson WORTH.
Their son Taplin, was born in Stanstead, October 6, 1828, and died September
8, 1904, at the home of his sister Mrs. Lydia GRAY in Holland Vermont.(Page
255)
Well, now, wait a minute, did Jacob and Lucinda WORTH have a daughter named
Lydia? I'm working backwards here... In the 1900 Census for Holland,
Orleans County, Vermont there is a George and Lydia GRAY. This Lydia was
born in 1842 - , this is WAY too young to be MY Lydia born about 1808. If
you look at the 1900 census for Holland, Orleans County, Vermont, there is a
Levi WORTH living a few houses above George and Lydia GRAY. There is a
boarder there who I THINK is supposed to be Taplin GRAY, but it looks as if
his last name is BENNETT. The last name under Levi WORTH, I BELIEVE is
supposed to be Taplin GRAY.
I don't have access to the 1890 or 1880 Censuses, but in the 1870 Federal
Census for Holland, Orleans County, Vermont there is a Merrill/Morrill GRAY
and he lives right next door to Taplin GRAY. Living with Morrill GRAY are
George and Lydia GRAY. Again this Lydia was born about 1844 which is WAY
too young to be MY Lydia.
In 1860 I find Morrill GRAY with a son named George born about 1845. Also
in 1860 in Holland, Orleans County, Vermont is Jacob and Lucinda WORTH with
a daughter named Lydia born about 1843. Living next to them is Taplin
WORTH. Can you see where I'm going with this?
It's my THEORY that the Lydia who married George GRAY and lived in Holland,
Orleans County is actually the daughter of Jacob and Lucinda (DANFORTH)
GRAY, not the Lydia who was the daughter of Joseph and Mary "Polly" (SAWYER)
WORTH.
By a strange co-incidence, there IS a Lydia born about 1804 who married a
George GRAY and lived in Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire. But
according to the 1850 Federal Census for Dover, Strafford County, New
Hampshire. they have a Polly BARDEN living with them aged 80. This Lydia is
the daughter of Frederick and Polly (CROSSMAN) BARDEN. So, that crosses her
off my list...
It's my theory that Ms. JOHNSON or whoever typed her manuscript confused the
two Lydia's. The Lydia who married Mr. GRAY and lived in Holland, Vermont
was really the daughter of Jacob and Lucinda (DANFORTH) WORTH and NOT the
daughter of Joseph and Mary "Polly" (SAWYER) WORTH. Lydia WORTH, daughter
of Joseph and Mary (SAWYER) WORTH married Robert HUNKINS, moved to
Wisconsin, and later married H.J.G. PALMER. Now, all I have to do is prove
it!!! Any suggestions?
Hopefully you're not too confused by all my ramblings. If you have any
questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me. Isn't it funny how
one major breakthrough leads to many, many more questions?
