General Notes: Husband - James Clark

---

His ancestor in the Clark line fought in the battle of the Boyne.

He came to America from Scotland about 1815, and, locating at Bellefonte, Center County, Pennsylvania, worked around furnaces and sawmills. He acquired the ownership of a farm near Bellefonte, and after disposing of it bought another in Salem Township, Clarion County, a tract of two hundred acres, besides which he also owned considerable timberland in Clarion County, where he settled in 1830. Later he bought a large tract near Valley Church, Venango County, selling which he bought a farm in Ashland Township, Clarion County, upon which he resided during the remainder of his life, hiring others to work it for him. He died there at the age of eighty-five years, after a useful, thrifty life. Politically he was a Republican, in religion an active member of the Evangelical Church.

He was born in Center County, Pennsylvania, and after reaching adult age he was the owner of a farm in the vicinity of Bellefonte. Subsequently he disposed of that estate and purchased a farm in Salem township, Clarion County, the latter comprising two hundred acres. He also owned considerable timber land in Clarion county.
