last line in the box labeled "The Clark Family":
"Dr. Wesley Clark, born 14 November 1807, married Indiana Goodwine, and died 7 May 1881."

“Williamsport in 1829”
p. 91 – “the town then consisted of five families, viz: William Harrison, the proprietor of the village, who kept the ferry, and a little tavern and grocery at the foot of Main street; Dr. Jas. H. Buell, Ullery, [William] Search [who kept a boarding house on Main Street] and a man called wild Cat Wilson. Two only (Harrison and Wilson) of the families above named had children large enough to go to school. The rest of my patrons lived in the country, some two or three miles from town, and consisted of John Semans, sheriff of the county, Wesley Clark, Robb, Hickenbotham, and one or more.”
“James Cunningham, the clerk and recorder of the county, boarded and kept his office in Search’s house; and as the most of his time was occupied in building a couple of flatboats to carry corn to the New Orleans market the next spring, he employed me to write in his office of nights and on Saturdays, which would not interfere with my school hours.”
Others living in the area included “the widow Mickle”, “Isaac Waymire and Zachariah Cicot, the French-and-Indian trader” in a settlement on the “Kickapoo, a small stream lying north of Big Pine creek”. “Above Cicot’s were judge Samuel B. Clark” and others
