James was the son of Caleb Clark and Elizabeth Griffith. This Clark family went from Ohio, to Marion County Indiana, to Vermilion County Illinois, and James and his children ended up back in Marion County Indiana prior to his enlistment in 1864.

Those 7 children, his widow says, were being provided for by the Marion Co Indiana Trustee.
