Hi Jim... I have lots of William Clark(e)s born about that time in NY in my data base but none listed who had a Martha for a wife or Silas or Horace for kids. However, That doesn't mean I don't have his parents of other kids of him listed. Do you have the names of his kids spouses? I may have some of them... Can you narrow the time and area a little more precise by locating them in the 1850, 1860, 1870, etc census in NY? I may be able to locate other members in his family in that manner..
