I would like to strike the message I posted yesterday. Here is a more complete and
accurate picture of this family.
A family Bible records this: Hannah CLARK b. 1798 d. 27 Nov 1875; married Thomas D. MARTIN
on 14 Feb 1819. Children: William D. b. 29 Jul 1820 d. 2 Mar 1896; Thomas D. b. 16 Jan
1823 d. 12 May 1832. (No locations are given but this family was in census records for
Dauphin Co., PA from 1850-1880)
Hannah CLARK MARTIN was widowed at age 25 with two small sons; she m. John ZIMMERMAN and
had a third son, Jacob K. who left a million dollar estate in 1912.
As a CLARK-MARTIN descendant I can say the MARTIN family was centered in Dauphin County
(Harrisburg) PA until the late 1800s when they went on to Kansas City, MO. At this point I
am looking at Dauphin County as the likely home of both the CLARK and ZIMMERMAN families.
I would be glad for any clues regarding this search.
