Clark family of Sunny Bank The first member of the "Clark" family, William, arrived in Gaspe in 1828 from England. He married Bridget Condon of Douglastown and settled on Lot # 24 in Wakeham. This land was purchased from the O’Hara family, and is still partly owned by the Clark family today. Mrs. Jessie Clark resides near the former homestead of William. The first Clark family was devastated by the diphtheria epidemic of 1862, as was the Eagle family of Sunny Bank. William and the last six of his children all died in the month of February. The children ranged from 6 to 18 years of age. His eldest son, James moved to Australia, leaving only two sons and three daughters in Gaspe. All three daughters married Pattersons. The elder son David, born in 1833, married Ann Miller of Sunny Bank. John married Frances Miller of Sunny Bank, and after she died at the young age of 29 he remarried Sophia Grant, also of Sunny Bank. [3]
