• Notes

  This is possibly the same Peter who was born in 1823/4 in Indiana according to census records. His parents were from Kentucky. This Peter D. married Mary Turner (b. 1825, Tenn). They had William and John. He remarried Lucinda Brooks frnessee and had Isaac, Lawrence, Riley, Peter J., Louis T., Reuben, Ulyssus T. Grant, Nancy Irene, Matilda, Josephine, Thomas M. Lucinda S. and Alice. Peter D. is in the 1850 Washington Twp., Clay Co., Missouri census. In 1860 he is in Polk Twp., Ray Co. Census. (CL-331) There is also a Peter N. Clark who married Fanny S. Buster on 4/24/1840 in Gallia Co., Ohio. If this is our Peter, his birth date is not as stated either. According to World Family tree, he is the son of William B. Clark and Elizabeth Niday of Montgomery Co., VA and Walnut Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. William B. Clark was born in 1790 and died in 1849 in Gallia Co., Ohio. He might possibly be the Peter Clarke who was one of the founding members of the Guyandotte Bridge Co. in 1848. This company built and completeted the suspension bridge over the Guyandotte River in 1852. If so, Peter was also named as one of the first trustees when the town of Guyandotte, Cabell Co., (WV) was incorporated in 1849. This is the same county that his possible father, William D. Clark married in. Guyandotte is located down the Guyandotte River from Gallipolis, Ohio and Gallia Co. where William D. raised his children.(CL-482)
