Goodhand and Eleanor (Broadfield) CLARK, from Inch, near
Dunmanway, County Cork, Ireland sailed for U.S. in 1852 with
their family; Goodhand died at sea or in NYC after arrival.
Goodhand was son of Goodhand CLARK and Barbara Pattison/
Patterson; Eleanor and children settled in Caneadea, Allegany Co., NY.
Their youngest, Eliza Anne Clark, was born in Ireland 1849 and lived
entire life in Caneadea. Eliza was my greatgrandmother; married Edgar Lewis.
Would like to hear from you regarding YOUR Clark ancestors if
they came from County Cork in or near Dunmanway.

Subject Julia Clark was born in Knoxville,IA(Marion) She was married
14Sep1912 in Seattle,WA(King) to James Daniel Tuttle, also born c 1889, a
civil engineer. I seek any information about her and her family, and who
her parents were. My mother was a CLARK, and I am wondering if Julia is
related to me. William Tuttle, MontgomeryMN
One of my earliest, Daniel Clark in 1639 went to Windsor, Connecticut with Rev. Ephraim Huet, his Clark descendants
who were "provisioners" in Lebanon, Windham Co., Connecticut relocated to Windham Co., Vermont after the
Revolutionary War. I have not found bounty land warrants for them - yet.
In 1885, in Custer & Valley counties, Nebraska another family (not Clark) secured a homestead and timber claim
comprising three hundred twenty acres of land. This _excerpt_ is from one of the best histories on the area I've
read.

Quote: "The great movement of settlers west was helped by the changes in the land laws. A settler in Nebraska
during 1854 could take 160 acres, and, after living on it six months, buy it from the United States for $1.25 an
acre. This was called a pre-emption. In 1863, the Homestead Law went into effect. Under this, a settler could
take 160 acres and own it free by living on it for five years. In 1873, the Timber Claim Act was passed. Under
this act, an individual could get 160 acres by planting 10 acres of it in trees and taking care of them for eight
years. All three of these laws were in force from 1873 to 1891, and under them a settler could, in just a few
years, own 480 acres of land." End quote.

I understand here in Michigan where my grandfather came from NY that free land was offered. He came here in the
later 1800s. Grace
