Have you searched for a death record in Texas. His next of kin may have listed his parents' names. Always good to search back from last known place.

James Henry "Jimmie or Jimmy" Clark was born about 1837 in England and died in 1904 in Texas. He immigrated to New York on 17 Sept 1860 on the ship Rhine. I found a 1880 census for a Jimmy Clark in Pittsburgh, PA and it stated he was a widower. Where he was between 1860 and 1880 is unknown, but apparently he married after he immigrated. We don't know if he and his deceased wife had any children, but one would presume they did. Sometime between 1880 and 1892, he made his way to Texas where he met my great grandmother, a widow, and married her in 1893 and had five children with her, one being my grandfather. My Grannie had said when we were kids that Pa's father was from England and he had jumped ship off the coast and swam to shore. Whether or not that is true is up for debate since we show a James Clark immigrating. It is presumed James Clark is buried on his wife's old farm, Ward Farm, somewhere near Dallas. That land has been sold, but I was told by one of my great grandmother's kin from her first marriage that there were supposed to be four gravesites there. Without knowing exactly where Jimmy was from in England, it will most likely be impossible to find out any info on him. I tried printing out all of the James/Jimmy Clarks in England around that timeframe and was eliminating them by process of elimination by deaths in England, where some of them lived well after 1860, etc., but got bogged down. I had about four pages of printouts! If someone in England is working on their family tree and he was in their family will be the only way I'll ever know. I'd also like to know who he married in the USA, what happened to her and if they had any kids. This is becoming a full time job! LOL
Hi there,
I am researching my families lineage.
Sarah Clark and her husband Calvin W Eason names pop up in my search and also from a book my Great Aunt was featured in.
I’m looking particularly to find the address or land map of where they lived in East Feliciana Parish.
Any help would be appreciated.
