Notes:

In the 1820 Cabell Co., VA census, Samuel and his wife were from age 26-45. They also had 3 sons and 2 daughters under age 10. In 1825, Samuel F. Clark is listed along with his likely relative, William Clark in making purchases from the estate of Peter Blankenship in Cabell County, VA/WV. This William Clark is likely to be the son of William Clark who married Jane Ferguson in 1788 in Montgomery Co., VA. In the 1830 cenus, he is still living in Cabell Co., Virginia. In his household, there are 2 males under 5, 1 from 15-19, 1 from 30-39, 1 female under 5, 3 ages 5-9, 1 from 10-14, 1 from 15-19, 1 from 30-39. The index for this census can't decide if this Samuel is listed as Samuel J. or Samuel F. When I blow the original up on the computer it is clearly Samuel F. Clark. There is an Abishar Clark in the 1870 Census for Harrison Co., Ohio that was born about 1825 that might be this Samuel's son. He was born in Virginia and names a son, Samuel F. Clark. According to Public Member Trees on Ancestry which are notorious for errors, he had any of the following children: Edmund, Leander, Cassander, Augusta and Benjamin Franklin Clark. According to One World Tree, his children were all born in VA or WV up till 1835. If he died in Iowa, then he died shortly after moving there.

Samuel married Nancy LAMBERT on 21 May 1811. Nancy was born on 1 Oct 1793 in , Cabell, VA, Usa (Where It Was Starting In 1809); died on 26 Dec 1848 in , , IA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
