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. Thanks!!!

ESCAPED PRISONER RECPATURED [Special Dispatch to the Daily Times] Jeffersonville, Indiana, December 24-William Rodifer, a noted convict who scaled the walls of the prison here on Tuesday morning and robbed a residence in New Albany that night, was arrested today at eleven o'clock in Memphis, Clark County, after a desperate fight. Rodifer went into a store to get provisions and was recognized by Dr. Reynolds.  Rodifer saw he was recognized and started to run, and citizens went in pursuit. Rodifer cut the halter of a horse hitched to a post, jumped on his back, and rode away at a fearful gait.  Armed citizens mounted and pressed him so closely that Rodifer turned about to ride through the crowd with drawn knife but was knocked from the horse by a blow with a club in the hands of a boy. Fully 20 shots were fired at the desperado before he gave up.  The convict was bound and brought down to the prison this afternoon.  The property stolen at New Albany was found on his person. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 12:24:28 -0400 From: "Randi" <gftl@bluemarble.net> Subject: [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Clark County: Tenement House Belonging to     McManus and Manny Destroyed by Fire To: <IN-South-Central@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <002201cd41a5$59986020$0cc92060$@net> Content-Type: text/plain;    charset="us-ascii"     Cincinnati (OH) Commercial Tribune, March 5, 1875, p. 7.
