David was one of the earliest settlers of Scott County, Indiana. He was married to Elizabeth (Manaugh) Clark (1786-1863) who was originally from Ireland. David may have been a veteran of the War of 1812. David was the son of Hezekiah and Sarah Clark.
Please note: I have been researching this family for many years and would like to connect with others researching it as well. The information I have collected on the parents and children of David and Elizabeth Clark comes from many different sources. There is still some confusion as to the names of all the children.
Children known (or thought) to be children of David and Elizabeth include:
1. Hezekiah Clark (born about 1803- died 1835) - first husband of Charity Pittman. (I believe Hezekiah may have been buried in Clark Cemetery or possibly in Scaffold Lick Cemetery in Blocher, Indiana.) Definitely a son of David and Elizabeth.
2. Jane (Clark) Thomas (b. 1804 - died after 1860) - married John S. Thomas on January 12, 1832 in Scott County, Indiana. (I believe she is on the census with her mother in 1830).
3. Mary (Clark) Oldfield (1808-1848) - definitely a daughter of David and Elizabeth. Married to James Oldfield on December 30, 1824 in Scott County, Indiana.
4. Christina "Kitty" (Clark) Babbitt (b. abt. 1809 - died after 1860). Married George Babbitt on June 12, 1828 in Scott County, Indiana. (Not proven to be a daughter of David and Elizabeth. Not listed on any census records with David and Elizabeth.)
5. Male Clark (name unknown) - born between 1810 and 1820 and died after 1820.
6. Male Clark (son) - born between 1810 and 1820 and died after 1820.
7. Cynthia (Clark) Manaugh (1811-after 1885). Married Thomas Manaugh on November 20, 1828 in Scott County, Indiana. (Definitely a daughter of David and Elizabeth).
8. Nancy (Clark) Shields (1813-1885) - married Morrow Shields on April 25, 1833 in Scott County, Indiana. (I believe she is on the 1830 census with her mother).
9. George Clark (1816-1835) - May be listed on 1820 census possibly as one of the four sons who was under 10 years old but is not listed on the 1830 census. (Not proven to be a son of David and Elizabeth, however, may be the person listed on the 1820 census and is buried in the Clark Cemetery along with David Clark.)
10. Amos Clark (1817-1866) - definitely a son of David and Elizabeth. (I believe he is listed on the 1820 and 1830 censuses).
11. Sarah (Clark) Campbell (1819-1905) - married James A. Campbell on September 22, 1836 in Scott County, Indiana. (I believe she is on the 1830 census with her mother).
12. David Manaugh Clark (1824-1907) - definitely a son of David and Elizabeth Clark. Married on March 20, 1845 in Scott County, Indiana.
Three people originally thought to be children of David and Elizabeth (Manaugh) Clark were: William, Willis and Eliza N. Clark (born abt. 1823), Willis L. Clark (1822-1868) and William H. Clark (1827-1907), however, Elizabeth Clark (now a widow in 1830) had no children under the age of ten years old living with her in Scott County, Indiana on the 1830 census. I now believe that Willis and William and possibly Eliza as well may have been David and Elizabeth's grandchildren from one of their eldest sons or possibly they are not related to this family directly at all. William, Willis and Eliza are all buried in Lexington Cemetery, the same cemetery as Mary and Sarah Clark, two daughters of David and Elizabeth Clark.
For researchers of this family, it would appear that there is a connection between this David Clark (1782-1827) and Joshua Clark (b. abt. 1790 and died 1830 - Findagrave memorial 85026971.) Joshua Clark was married to Mary "Polly" Blocher . The Blocher family lived near David Clark in Scott County, Indiana. Also of note, in 1815, David Clark and his wife, Elizabeth, sold land in Fayette County, Ohio and came to Scott County, Indiana (then Clark County, Indiana). At the same time, Joshua Clark moved from Fayette County, Ohio to Scott County, Indiana. There was also a John Clark, Sr. who had land in Fayette County, Ohio and moved to Lexington, Scott County, Indiana. David's father, Hezekiah Clark, had land in Fayette County, Ohio in 1820. I believe that Hezekiah Clark (David's father) may have also been the father of Joshua Clark mentioned above, or possibly his uncle, making David and Joshua Clark brothers or cousins. Please contact me for further information.
Note from Findagrave member, Leland Garton -
"David Clark's father was Hezekiah Clark, son of Maschal (Mascaline) and Elizabeth Clark, born c. 1758 Kent County, Delaware died 1797 Kent County, Delaware. He married Sarah born c. 1759. Residence: 1783 and 1790 Washington Co., Penn. (per U. S. census ) He was about 24 years old when David was born. Military Service Revolutionary War - 13th and 9th Virginia Reg. The war was fluid in that this Delaware boy joined Washington’s army in Pennsylvania, and served in two Virginia regiments.
