That is about 6 years after Charles was born. In 1820 census (New York, Genesee, Gains, pg 4) Noah and Mary have 2 little daughters, Parthenia & Elizabeth, no sons. I didn't find a census showing a Noah Clark with a son Charles age. However Noah's father Jehiel Clark does have 2 unidentified boys under 10 in the 1810 census. The above ref. says Jehiel's wife, Noah's mother, died ca. 1813. I speculated that Charles might be Noah's baby brother, raised by another family after his mother died, or possibly a nephew. There definitely seems to be a family tie. Anne (Fender)Halford > Earl Fender > Edith (Downing) Fender > Mary (Carpenter)Downing > Mary (Clark) Carpenter > Samuel Clark Jr. (Jehiel's brother) > Gen.
