    3. Betsy, Sorry, but I don't have any additional information about the Clark family. Perhaps another subscriber has something. There is a Clark family file located at the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library. Perhaps there is some information in there that would be helpful.

    3. Thanks for this list of soldiers. I'm hoping this is my clue to what happened to my William Smith! I have him born near Mitchell in 1844 and on census with family 1850 & 1860 and not trace after that. I noticed there is a Charles Hyatt also from Mitchell died two days later same place so looks like a good place to search! So thanks again!

    3. Hi there, I know this is crazy; but, I'd like to have more information on Ezekial Clark.  One of my Clark ancestors appears in the 1830 census living in Clark County, Indiana.  He got married May 18, 1823, in Floyd County, Indiana, to his first wife, Caroline Hendelider.  (Could be Hinderlider???).  I can't find him in the 1820 census; so, I am trying to find information on any of the Clark's who may have been in the area in 1820.  He appears in the 1840, 1850, 1860, and 1870 census living in Redding Township, Jackson County, Indiana.

SHOT TO DEATH BY HER BROTHER Scottsburg, Indiana, August 8-Albert James, aged about 18 years, son of Baxter James of Finley Township, shot and instantly killed his 15-year-old sister last night. The parents were away from home, and several children were at home alone. It is supposed that the girl arose some time during the night and the brother, mistaking her for a burglar, grabbed his revolver and fired. The ball struck the girl near the heart killing her instantly. The James family seems to be an ill-fated one. Seven years ago another child choked to death on a bean, and Albert, the one who last night killed his sister, some time ago lost an eye while pouring lead in a ladle.

They started to run, and Miss Long jumped from the sleigh striking her head against a telegraph pole breaking her jawbone in three places and knocking her teeth loose. She was unconscious when picked up and has since been suffering with nervous prostration brought on by the fright and shock sustained.
