Research Notes

• Censuses have been downloaded from Ancestry.com and/or Family Search.org. The numbers at the end generally represent (Ward), (Enumeration District), and page(s).

• There are several Samuel Clarks in Washington County, Pennsylvania in the 1790 Census. The one on page 19 is correct here because of the other families on this page. In particular David Evans and his son Abraham Evans. While "David" looks like "Daniel" I think either the census taker misread his writing when transcribing his notes or the "ni" is actually a v and the "el" is actually a "d" with an open top. Abraham Evans and the Dodds are definitive for this being Amwell Twp., however. Dardinger-2 12:15, 15 November 2016 (EST)

• In the 1790 Census Samuel's surname is spelled Clark. In the 1800 census Samuel's surname is spelled Clarke. Dardinger-2 09:47, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
