Deposition by John P. Kennedy Regarding Pension of Joseph T. Clark's Widow Deposition A. Case of Iva E. Clark, W.O. No. 1,005,683 On this 23rd day of April, 1914 at Smithville, County of Ritchie, State of West Virginia, before me, George M. Beckett, a special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared John P. Kennedy, who, being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension, deposes and says: I am 75 years of age. P. O. Smithville, W. Va. res. near same. Former I served in Co. G 6 W. Va. Inf. for about 4 years & I had a comrade named Clark and I knew him as Thomas Clark and he served as Ord. Sergt. the last year of our service. His father and brother were also members of our co. but I forget their given names. The father died of cold taken in smallpox at Westernport, Md. (?), in spring of 1865. I do not know what became of his brother. If Joseph was a part of the name of the man I recall as Thomas Clark who served as Ord. Sergt. in 1865 I did not know it. If I did it has passed from my memory. The man I recall as Thomas Clark I made an affidavit for and sent to him in the west somewhere Missouri I think. No, I do not recall that it was Nebraska. Well sir, if I stated in that affidavit that I knew Clark before enlistment that statement was put without my knowledge for I did not know him before we became acquainted in Co. G. 6 W. Va. Inf. No recollection of it now. I think he belonged about Worthington Creek, Wood Co., W. Va. , but I was not acquainted in that neighborhood. However I lived in Wood Co. from 1856, coming from Allegheny Co., Pa., but at different places but not about the Clark's I feel sure, but I don't know that I saw him after the war. Never heard from him again, except I made an affidavit as to his having smallpox at Westernport, Md. I acted as Ord. Sergt. in his place then. I heard that he lived about Parkersburg after the war somewhere but I do not recall that I heard he married. No sir, not to a Miss Kincheloe. He was not married while in the army & never had been that was my understanding. I feel certain that when he was discharged from the army he had never been married. William Clark was the father's name and I think "Mash" or something similar the of the brother. Not related or interested. I have fully understood the questions asked and my answers were read to me.

Kincheloe Hoy Regarding Pension of Joseph T. Clark's Widow Deposition C. Case of Iva E. Clark, W.O. No. 1,005,683 On this 23rd day of March, 1914 at Council Bluffs, County of Pottawatomie, State of Iowa, before me, George M. Beckett, a special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Sarah E. Hoy, who, being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to her during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension, deposes and says: I was 65 years old last April. P. O. Address: Roca, Lancaster Co., Neb. I am the wife of Daniel Hoy, a farmer. This claimant is my own sister, a younger sister. We have always lived pretty close to each other. I have no pecuniary interest in her pension claim. I knew her husband the soldier, Thomas Clark, John Thomas Clark, before he married this claimant. I first met him about three years after the war. The first I knew of him he worked for my father. I think he boarded at my father's until he was married to this claimant. I never knew any of his relations. I do not know anyone else who would know anything about him before I met with him. This claimant was married but the one time, that was to John Thomas Clark. I don't know how they were married whether in ceremony or not. They had a certificate. I cannot say I saw it. I have heard her say she had one and that it was lost one time while they were moving. I do not know by whom they were married or in what place. My brother Taylor Kincheloe was married at the same time and place. He married a Lois Hultz. It was an elopement on my brothers part, but not on claimant's. A man named Zach Lyons went with them also. He was not dead the last I heard of him and that was in 1900. Mr. Hoy was then back in Parkersburg, and saw him. I could not say why they went to a place other than Parkersburg to get married. I think they were under age. I think they went away on my brother's account, because his wife's parents objected to their marriage. That was I cannot tell whether it was in 1868 or 1869, and I think in October or November. I remember distinctly their going away, and it was our knowledge and understanding that they were going away to get married. I am pretty sure it was one of the two months named, tho not positive. I am sure it was in the Fall of the year. I was not at home at the time, but lived right close, probably a quarter of a mile away. I never doubted their being married. Yes, I think they did go to Ohio. I won't say positive that they were married in Ohio, but I think they were. I think they told me where they had been married but I could not tell now. My parents accepted the fact of their marriage. Yes sir, they lived together, that is claimant and soldier, continuously from their marriage to his death. It was last March he died, but I do not remember exactly what date. She has not remarried since then. My brother Taylor was living the last I heard, tho he was pretty sick. He is living in Parkersburg, W. Va. We have heard from him within a year. The soldier had never been married before he married the claimant, to my knowledge or hearing. Well, yes, he was a pretty young man when I first met him, probably 25 years old. I never heard him say that he had been or that he had not been married before he married this claimant. She had 10 children by the soldier, counting the one that died. Yes sir, one of the children, the oldest one was born before the time, probably after seven months, after they claimed to have been married. There was not much said, in fact nothing was said about this premature birth, tho there was the suspicion that there had been prior intimacy between them. We never at any time, for that reason or any other, doubted the fact of their having been ceremonially married. We had a supper for them, a wedding supper at home when they returned. They were not gone more than two or three days. I did not see them off when they went. No sir, they, soldier and claimant were never separated or divorced. They always seemed to get along first rate together. I am correctly recorded in this deposition which I have read. Your questions were fully understood. I cannot say for sure, whether soldier's name was John Thomas or Joseph Thomas, I know he signed himself J. T. Clark. This is correct also and was read by me. Sarah E.

The following deposition was made by the brother-in-law of my GG-grandmother Iva Kincheloe Clark. From the Civil War pension file of my GG-grandfather Joseph Thomas Clark, formerly of Wood County, WV who removed to Lancaster Co., Nebraska and raised his family there. Deposition B. Case of Iva E. Clark, W.O. No. 1,005,683 On this 23rd day of March, 1914 at Council Bluffs, County of Pottawattomie, State of Iowa, before me, George M. Beckett, a special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Daniel Hoy, who, being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension, deposes and says: I was 71 years of age on the 19th day of this month. P. O. address: Roca, Lancaster Co., Neb., R. R. 2. I am a retired farmer. I know this claimant. She is my sister-in-law. I have been more intimately acquainted with her since 1865, but I knew her before the war. I was married to her sister on January 30, 1866. I have no interest in her pension claim. I knew her husband the soldier, J. T. Clark, Joseph T. Clark, I think. I became acquainted with him after the war, probably in the latter part of 1866, because it was soon after I was married. He was working for my father-in-law in a saw mill when I first met him. He was married but once to my knowledge, and that was to this claimant. I should think he was 23 or 24 when I first met him. I was not personally acquainted with his brothers, but he had two that I saw, but no sisters that I ever heard of. His brothers were Miller and Abisha. Miller did live in Morgantown, W. Va., but I heard he is dead. Abisha is dead. I do not know anyone by whom the fact of no prior marriage on his part could be proven. This claimant was married but once to my knowledge. She was not very old when she married, probably 17. I think she and soldier were married in 1868 but I would not be real positive. It was one or two years after I was married. They said they were married in Pennsylvania, near Wheeling. I do not know where. I believe the young folks called the place Hard Scrabble when they came back. I cannot tell you who married them, whether a Justice of the Peace or a minister. I was not present at their marriage. They claimed to have a certificate and to have lost. I don't know as I ever saw it. I cannot remember seeing it. They, soldier and claimant, and her brother Taylor and Zack Lyons, and Taylor's wife, Lois Hultz, went away together when they went to get married. They were married in the Fall of the year. I think that the reason for their going away to get married was because of objections of the parent of Taylor's wife, to his marriage with her. Claimant's parents did not oppose her marriage with soldier to my knowledge, at least said nothing about it. No sir, there was nothing compulsory about their marriage. Yes sir, claimant and soldier lived together as man and wife continuously from the time of their marriage to his death. Soldier died a little over a year ago, but I do not remember the exact date. I can't tell what month. Claimant has not remarried since his death. If my memory is right they took a boat to Wheeling when they went away to get married. Cannot say how long they were gone. Of course the parents of both parties must have recognized their marriages, as they were allowed to live together, and they were always regarded as man and wife by all the family. I never heard the fact of claimant's marriage with soldier ever questioned by anyone. I do not know whether Zack Lyons is living or not. He was then living when I saw him in 1900 on Wellington Creek, W. Va., and about 10 miles from Parkersburg, and North West of Parkersburg. I think he was living on the home place then. I met him in the city of Parkersburg. Claimant had a child born to her before the regular time; they called it a seven months child, and it was always considered the soldier's child and went by his name. I don't think the family knew anything about the matter until the child was born, or if they were told, they never said anything about it. No one ever questioned the fact of their marriage on that or any other account, that I know of. I am correctly recorded in the deposition which has been read to me. Your questions were fully understood. Word objections underlined as, before signing. Word 'been' erased line 38 before signing.

I just got through transcribing this deposition from the Civil War Pension files of my GG-grandfather Joseph Thomas Clark who married Iva Elizabeth Kincheloe. This deposition was given by Iva's brother Jesse Taylor Kincheloe. Deposition A. Case of Iva E. Clark, W.O. No. 1,005,683 On this 25th day of April, 1914 at North End, Parkersburg, County of Wood, State of West Virginia, before me, George M. Beckett, a special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Jesse Taylor Kincheloe, who, being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension, deposes and says: I am 67 years of age; my post office address is Parkersburg, W.VA., R. F. D. # 8. I reside in North Parkersburg and formerly farmed in Worthington Creek, this county is where I was born and raised. My parents were Lawrence and Viletta (Stagg) Kincheloe. The claimant is a younger sister of mine. The full name is Iva Elizabeth Clark and she too was born and raised in Worthington Creek. I am the only member of our family living in this section of the country. Yes, I personally knew the claimant's former husband Joseph T. Clark. I was well acquainted with him 2 or 3 years before they was (sic) married." He was a civil war soldier. He served in the 6th W. Va. Inf. While I am not sure whether I saw him in the 6th W. Va. Inf., I may have seen him in the regiment as that regiment guarded the B. & O. R. R. and were camped here at Parkersburg more or less. No, I did not know him, Clark, before he became a soldier. No, he had no other military service nor did he serve in the Navy or Marine Corps or in the Confederate service that I have any knowledge of. Well, he, Clark always signed his name J. T. Clark and he called himself Thomas Clark and he was spoken to and of as Thomas or Tom Clark. His brother Abisha Clark, now dead, always called him Thomas. Abisha died here, but his widow, Ellen Clark lives in Kansas and I think her address is Isbon, Jewell Co., Kansas and she probably knows pensions as Abisha also served in the 6th W. Va. Inf. Olin (or "Olie") is probably at Isbon, Kansas, can't say where Harlan (or "Harley") but he used to live north of Williamstown, W. Va. I think J. T. Clark had another brother and a sister, but if so I do not recall their names or know anything about them or their families if they had families. Well, as previously stated, I knew J. T. Clark --- I do not know for sure what I understand the initial "J" stood for but I think he told me it stood for Joseph. About 2 or 3 years before he married my sister Iva Elizabeth Kincheloe and when they married he was running an engine for father at his saw mill and worked for father off and on all the rest of the time, not far away at any rate or as I recollect. I knew him about continuously for about 2 or 3 years before he married my sister. Whether he came to our neighborhood --- about 6 miles N. E. of here -- immediately after discharged from the army I do not know, but he had not been out of the army very long when I first knew him personally & I don't think I had heard of him before he came to our neighborhood. If I had any acquaintance with him or knowledge of him before he went to the army I do not recall that fact now. Well, it was my understanding from J. T. Clark himself and also from his brother Abisha, had both made their homes with their uncle Isaac Clark in Pond Creek, near Briscoe Church which is about half way between here and Williamstown. I think they said they came here from Marion Co., W. Va., but I can't name the place, nor can I recall how long either of them claimed to have lived about here before enlistment in the 6th W. Va. If Isaac Clark and his wife are dead, I do not know. I can't give name or address of any of his children. Mel Clark, Stapleton, brother Samuel, now dead, who lives in Pond Creek, is the only person who would likely recall J. T. Clark & Abisha Clark before they went the army. They lived in Pond Run not Pond Creek. I meant Pond Run all along. After J. T. Clark and my sister Iva E. married, they lived neighbor to us in Worthington Creek until they moved to Berlin, Lafayette Co., Missouri, & remained some time and I was there too. Then they returned to Worthington Creek & remained a while, then they went west again and settled at Saltillo, Nebraska & I was there with them. The next move I recall hearing that they made was to Firth, Nebr., where I understand they remained and where I understand claimant still lives. They had several children. Yes, 2 or 3 or 4 were born in Worthington Creek. Oh yes, I know about J. T. Clark and the claimant Iva Elizabeth Clark, my sister marrying. Yes, a personal knowledge. "Well, I seen them married." Oh they married in the state of Pennsylvania just across the line from Wheeling, W. Va., but I forget the name of the justice of the peace, the squire who married them. I not only saw J. T. Clark & my sister Iva E. married but I married my first wife -- Lois Hultz, on this same day, in fact I think married in the same ceremony -- all four stood up together. No, it was not a minister that married us, but a squire. I think he gave us certificates, but if so I do not know what became of either certificates. Ques. Was the squire named Alexander Noltz, Mayes, Sutherland or McCleary? Ans. I could not say for sure; I think it was Mayes. Since thinking, I believe West Alexandria was the name of the place when we married. Well it was this way, my wife's father Mr. Hultz objected to our marriage so J. T. Clark & my sister Iva Elizabeth occluded that they would accompany us and get married also and did so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- We four boarded a boat here at Parkersburg and went to Wheeling, then to Pa. town where we married, by stage, and returned home the same way. Zack Lyons was present and saw us married. No, there was no objection raised by my parents, or anyone else to the marriage of J. T. Clark and Iva Elizabeth Kincheloe, my sister, now the claimant. They lived together continuously as husband and wife till his death so far as I know and believe. No, I have no knowledge that the soldier J. T. Clark was married before he married my sister Iva E., now the claimant. I have never even gotten an intimation that he was previously married and have never had any reason whatever to suspect that he had a prior marriage. When they married, he was about 30 years old & Iva about 20. We two couples married in the year 1868 I think. It occurred in November, forget the day of the month. No, my sister Iva Elizabeth Kincheloe, now Clark the claimant, was not previously married. She was up till she married J. T. Clark, the soldier, at home with our parents out here in Worthington Creek & I was here too & I know positively that she was not previously married. As to Sam. Linhart, Tom Clark often spoke of him as a crook (?). I never knew Linhart but he went out west somewhere too I heard. No, I can't recall the ages of any of the children of J. T. Clark & Iva E. Clark, his wife, my sister, but their eldest child was named Charles and he was born in Worthington Creek and during this next year following his parents marriage but I forget the month of his birth, but his birth occurred soon enough after his parents' marriage to create a suspicion that he, Charles, was conceived out of wedlock. His parents had been married several months when Charles was born. No, Iva had no child born to her before she married J. Thomas Clark the soldier. Well sir, James Bailey & wife, next door neighbors of mine here are from Worthington Creek too & knew my sister Iva E., the claimant & the children I think. Nearly all the old folks who knew Iva then are dead. Jesse & Narcissus Sutherland (now near town, knew Iva well). I have fully understood the questions & my answers are correctly recorded as read to me in my wife's presence. J. T.

I had absolutely no information on Susan other than her marriage, so I would greatly appreciate any light you can shed. Contact me at trfcoleman@hotmail.com.

Surnames: Saunders Burch Cook Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACI/2242 Message Board Post: Hello, I am looking for the family of Clarington D Saunders b abt 1820 Va. He married Elizabeth Burch in Mason County May 27 1847. He is listed with his wife and children on the Putnam County Census for 1850 and 1870. Can not locate him on the 1860, however he has several children born in Ohio during that time. I believe he may be listed on the 1880 Wood County census living in the Claysville P.O. district, as a boarder at the Cook residence he is listed as C. D. Saunders age 58, which would fit with the other records I have . I have a death record that list Claringting Saunders death as April 04 1883. He is buried in the National Cemetery in Dayton Ohio. It list Wood County as where his death took place. Does anyone one have information on this Saunders line. Thanks

Can anyone tell me if there is a connection between George Gates, Solomon Gates and Thompson Gates. I believe that Solomon Gates is father to George Gates but how about Thompson Gates??? Thanks, Molly Molly Ball Stoddard Be careful how you live, you may be the only "bible" some people will ever read.
