MO) (d. 9 Aug 1888 Lamar Co., TX) and wife Rebecca Porter (b. 1832 MO) (d. ?) William is buried in Union Grove Cemetary in Lamar County. I can find no record of where Rebecca is buried or what year she died. William is my great-great grandfather. They had children all born in Jefferson Co. MO. William b. 1853, Charley b. 1860, George Clark b. 1862 D. 1940 (my great grandfather), Catherine b. 1865, Sarah b. 1867, and Ann b. 1872. Have no info on any of children except Geroge Clark. Any info on this family will be greatly appreciated. William was a farmer and I believe they lived in the Pattonville area. 1880 census has them in Precinct 7, Lamar, Texas
