Biography

Possibly born in 1810 according to 1860 census. Buried in Blossom Cemetery.

Farm Laborer

Listed in 1865 as being born in Columbia. In 1855 listed as being born in Rensaler [Renssalaer]. These are bordering counties in eastern New York on the Vermont/Massachusetts borders and the Hudson the west.

These are just notes on my search trying to find his parents: Looking in Columbia I found a record of a Daniel and a George Clark on the 1797 tax list. Possible fathers? [1] George was married to an Abigail, they had a daughter Betsy who was born in 1792. [2] George and Abigail's grave (same stone) found in Hudson City Cemetary, Hudson, Columbia, NY. She died May 9, 1822 and he died 11/23/1833. He was 84 years old and 17 d. So born Nov. 6, 1749? [3] No supporting evidence of a link found to date...
