There were two Stephen Clark's listed in the 1860 Census for Vermont: Stephen Clark, Woodbury, Washington County, Pg. 159, and Stephen Clark, Rutland, Rutland County, Pg. 313. I guessed that the one in Washington County might be who you were looking for (??), since you posted to the Washington County Board. 1860 Census - Woodbury, Washington County, VT, Pg. 159 Clark, Stephen, age 33, male, day laborer, b.

Are you absolutely sure on the birth date for Stephen Clark? Is it possible that he could have been born in 1860 instead of 1855?
