Thanks for checking the book. We can always hope. There are just so many Clarks. Ive pretty well got my Isaac Clark pinned down to Karnes Co. all his life in Texas. They came probable late 1840's. Were on Dewitt Co. Census in 1850. I have his Civil war record. He served in Helena Guard, then 14 th (inf? I dont have my notes out) under Edward Clark (not kin) He didn't draw a pension because they didn't award them until abt 1900. He died in 1870. I am going to National Archives when I am able. I would like to find out more details of his service. His unit served in trans mississippi area. He could have died from wounds received in war, or not. He was older than average to be serving in war, went in at 43 yrs old. But he wasn't that old when he died, 52 yrs old. He was born in 1818 and died in 1870. I'm fairly sure he is buried in Karnes Co. His son Walter is the one moving around so much. I think in was always close to relatives. I know Walter Clark had a cousin M.L. Clark that owened Clark Bros Circus. They wintered in Louisana. Thats why he went there. I wonder if they were kin to the Parish's. That is where Walter's wife died in Sabine Co. I'm just thinking out loud. I'm kind of stuck. I really appreciate you checking for his name amoung your Clarks. I thought I had found him back in Washington Co. Tn. but that hasn't checked out ether. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We did, just ate too much. :( Regurads Virginia Brown ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
