One is listed in Mercein's 1820 directory of New York City as a fisherman. Listed in the 1840 census living in Ward 2 of Brooklyn in the age bracket of 40-50. Died June 20, 1846 and is buried in Old Town Burial Ground, Hempstead, L. I., N. Y. along with wife Sophia Clark, died Nov. 16, 1842. I have been unable to connect this Palmer Clark either to ancestors or descendents and would be grateful for any information. The second Palmer Clark is listed in the 1840 census in Ashford, Winham Co., CT, aged 40-50. Prior to that he had lived in Huntsville, NY. Married Francis H. Aldrich in Woodstock, CT 31 Oct, 1824. Their children were: Nelson, Elizabeth, Harriet, Cornelia, Darwin, and Electa and many of their subsequent descendents are known. This Palmer died in 1879 at age 86 and is buried in West Thompson, CT. Especially looking for information on parents of this Palmer Clark.
