16 Oct 2004 James John Clark below who married Eliza Ricketts is a brother of Alpheus Clark. Both are sons of William & Margaret Clark who are found in the 1860 & 1870 Census of Independence Township (Appanoose Co.) IA. Goldie Clark below is the daughter of James & Helen Clark. From the census I cannot establish that James is also a brother of John & Alpheus. There is no son James in the William Clark household in the 1860 or 1870 census. However -- Alpheus & Pearl; James & Helen & John & Eliza Clark are all buried in Rows 14-15 of Mt. Zion Cemetery in Liberty Township (Lucas Co.) IA Goldie & husband Charles Burgett are also buried there. Eliza Ricketts 1st marriage was to Allison Baker by whom she had 3 children. I surmise Allison died in the Civil War and she subsequently married John Clark. Thus Bakers in Mt. Zion Cemetery also. More than one member of my ancestral line married into the Burgett family. Just a little more info for the pot. Gary W.

Only have a bit of time this morning to work on this.. 1. Lucas Co. Marriages, 1849-1918, p. 76 5 Jan 1902 Goldie Clark, 17, married Charles Burgett, 20, Lucas Co., IA 2. History of Lucas Co., 1978 edition, p. 465 This source has a short article about the Charles Burgett Family in which it states that "Golda I. Clark was born May 3, 1884". It doesn't state her parents name. 3. Lucas County Cemetery Records, p. 48 Mt. Zion Cemtery, Lincoln Twp. Golda Burgett is buried at Row 15 N-S, #2. There are several Burgett's buried there as well as Clark's. The eldest Clark seems to be John Clark, b. 1844-1906 Co. F. 36 Ia. GAR and wf Eliza A. 1840- 1906 buried in the previous Row # 14S-N, # 1. Nearby are buried Krutsingers, Van Winkle's, Bakers. etc. This is the outline of what I have thus far for the John Clark family .... Need to work at more connections myself. I am from the Werts line. I would assume that one of the children below is your link?
