I believe he is my g-g-grandfather. He was married to a Mary LNU and they had nine children. In the 1830 census, Isaac is of 20 under 30; one female of 20 under 30; one male of 5 under 10 and two females under 5. In 1840, they are found in Pulaski Co., MO, and Isaac is 30 under 40, one female 30 under 40, one male 10 under 15, one male 5 under 10, one female 10 under154, one female 5 under 10, and two females under 5. The Clarks leave Missouri in about 1843 and move to Carroll County, AR, apparently for health reasons. According to the US Federal Census Mortality Schedule, both Isaac and his wife Mary die from Consumption in 1850. In the 1850 Carroll County Census taken in October, the family now consists of the nine surviving children: John 25, Sarah 23, Manda J. 20, George W. 18, Mary Ann 15, Cyntha Ann 12, Andrew J. 8, James M. 5, and Benjamin F. 3. (James M. is my g-grandfather). Several of these children may have died of consumption, for they are not found in later census records. In 1860, John and Cyntha, Andrew J. and Benjamin W . are living in Camden Co. MO. James M. is in Christian County living the the Lida (Lydia) Nicks (NIx) family. If anyone has any information regarding this family, I would appreciate knowing. J. B. Clark
