I had considered that this Joseph Clark could be a match with Clark-26822. The birth and death dates are very close and both were from Connecticut. On closer inspection, they appear to be two different people. I added an LDS reference to this profile showing wives, children and parents which mostly agree with the family connections in this profile. One thing that doesn't agree is a second wive named Lydia Grinnell. There seems to be a possible mixup of some of the children as well. It appears this Joseph Clark had two wives (Rebecca Huntington and Elizabeth Smith) but not Lydia Grinnell.

I think it might make sense to examine the Clark-26822 profile (who was the husband of Lydia Grinnell) and remove Lydia as the wife of this Joseph Clark (Clark-2845).

Thanks for consideration.

Clark-21051 and Clark-2845 appear to represent the same person because: Identical parents, spouse, dates.
