Martha Clark was born circa 1765 in Bedford County Virginia, her family later moved to North Carolina where she met and married her husband James Samuel Fruit in Randolph North Carolina circa 1781/2 after James was released from the United States Service.
** Research indicates that Martha Clark-Fruit is the daughter of Bolling Clark and Winifred Buford-Clark. Bolling and Winefred Clark, had at least eleven children, many still undocumented, more research needs to be done on this family line.
The Clark and Fruit families lived near each other, they attended church together and the families moved from North Carolina to Christian Kentucky at the same time 1803, and later from Kentucky to Illinois, most importantly James Samuel Fruit names Joseph Clark and James C. Clark (Martha's brother and nephew) in his will dated 17 January 1825.
James, Martha and family moved to Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky in 1803 where they bought land on Sept 10, 1805 on Pond River from William Lindley for n $330.00. Martha's brothers Joseph, Jonathan, David Clark and their families were among those that moved to Kentucky at that same time.
It is not known when Martha died but it was after 1810 because she is listed in the 1810 Kentucky Census. She may be buried in the Boyd Cemetery near the old Fruit Farm in Kentucky or on the farm itself.
