CLARK, John ¹

  General Notes:

John would be the youngest son in the 1820 census, listed at age 10 to 16, giving him a birthrange of 1804 to 1810. If he is the John Clark who shows up for the first time in the 1840 census by name, he was age 40-50. His wife was only age 20-30 and they had one daughter between age 5 and 10. That indicates that he probably didn't marry until 1830 or after. (CL-335, 337)

There is a John B. who married Polly McDonald on Jun 26, 1821 in Cabell Co., VA that might account for our John or the John in the 1840 census.... though with the number of children they have, it's more likely that they are 2 different Johns.
