Hello Marg: I wonder if Walter and Jane Clark had a son, Walter, born 1810? He was born in Roxburghshire in 1810 but do not know anything more about his early years. He came to Canada *at a young age* (not certain what age that would be), and is buried in Brant County, Ontario. He drowned at age 48.
