A few years ago I did researh on BTES members. In 1860 there were notices of Guardian Sale of Real Estate and Guardianship of the minor children of Charles Clarkson. If I recall correctly in his probate there was a invoice for two and two or three children caskets and a minor daughter stating that only she and one/two children were living. S.P. Kingsley was guardian. In 1869 Thomas, 15 was living with Allen Kingsley. He is the only one I can locate in 1860. Maria married Thomas Melville who died in the civil war. She married twice after that. She died in 1917 in MN. Thomas was wounded in the civil war. I can't locate anything on him after he was MO in 1865.
