I am looking for information on James Clark and John Clark who are both
found in the 1820 Clark County Indiana Census, and are living in
Jeffersonville Township. I believe one of these two men could be the
father of my third great-grandfather, Presley Clark, who first appears in
the 1830 Clark County Indiana Census, and is living in Jeffersonville
Township. Presley next appears in the 1840 Jackson County, Indiana Census,
living in Redding Township where he remains until 1870. After 1870 I can't
find him any more. I believe he passed away between 1870 and 1880.
Presley was born in 1802, 1803, or 1804, either in Indiana, Kentucky, or
Ohio. Part of me says he may have been born in Virginia. In 1820 Presley
would have been either 16, 17, or 18 years old.
I am also looking for information on a Frederich Hendoliter who was living
in Jeffersonville Township in Clark County, Indiana, in 1820. In 1830 he
is living in Jackson County, Indiana, in Driftwood Township. In 1830 his
name is spelled Fredrick Hnderliter. There is a strong possibility that he
could be the father of Presley Clark's first wife, Caroline Hendelider.
Presley and Caroline were married in Floyd County, Indiana, on May 28,
1823.
I am also looking for information on a Jonathan Clark who might be a
brother of Presley Clark. Jonathan appears in the 1830 Clark County
Indiana Census living in Jeffersonville Township.
I am also looking for information on an Elizabeth Clark who might be
Presley's mother. She also appears in the 1830 Clark County Indiana Census
living in Jeffersonville Township.
Any information that someone might have on these individuals would be
greatly appreciated. Please feel free to e-mail me privately, or call me.
