Biography
Mary Knox Clark was born about 1810 in Knox County, Tennessee, the daughter of Braxton Clark and Elizabeth Fugate.[1] On 1 Jun 1826, she married Nehemiah Alcorn, and together they had six children.
- Johnson Alcorn (1832-1898)
- Jane Alcorn (1834- )[2]
- Infant son (aft.1835 - bef.1850)
- Charlotte (Alcorn) McCarty (1837- )

Research Notes
- ↑ Mary is said in the 1850 census to be 35 years old; that would have been impossible, given her 1826 marriage.
- ↑ Daughter Jane is designated "idiotic" in the 1850 census.
