Research Notes

Or William George Clark.^[5]

Probably married more than once - either two or three times: the maiden name of John P. Clark's mother was Wilson, per his death certificate.^[6] The mother of Daniel O. Clark, per his marriage license, was Rebecca Clark.^[7][8] The FamilySearch transcriptions of Daniel O's marriage records show his mother as Rebecca Clark. Her maiden name is probably Rebecca Wilson - a collaboration note for his father's FamilySearch PID:^[5]

"Marriage:Deed Russell County, 30 Jan 1835 between John Wilson and his daughter, Rebekah (Wilson) Clark. From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996. Marriage:Deed Russell County, 30 Jan 1835 between John Wilson and his daughter, Rebekah (Wilson) Clark. From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996."^[5]

And the Find a Grave memorial for John Wilson (#93125006) supports this. Text on the memorial lists a daughter:

• "child 5: Rebecca WILSON (AFN: 1F4G-3RJ)..." born 1801, died about 1836.
