==========
Emma DOUGLASS Clark was born on August 21, 1810, in Sumner, Tennessee. Her father, Reuben one of the earliest settlers of Tennessee, was 47, and her mother, Elizabeth, was 36. She ended up inheriting the property of her father- unusual for of woman of the times, but 3 of the sons of Reuben who may have inherited the property died in the Civil War, and one of her other brothers was mentally handicapped.
She married William Fulton Sanders Clark, a Presbyterian Minister, on March 22, 1831, in her hometown. They had 11 children in 13 years. Her husband died two years after the birth of their last child, Ellen, in 1847. Then she went through the Civil War enduring hardships of occupation by Union Soldiers in her home. Her family recovered better than most in their farming pursuits after the war. After the loss of 3 of her 4 sons in the Civil War, she became very active in errecting monuments and recording the history of the brave soldiers of the South who fought for the Confederacy.
The home she inherited has become as of 2015 a Historical Landmark that is descriptive of the early days of Tennessee. It can be visted by the public.
She died on December 10, 1881, at the age of 71, and was buried in Gallatin, Tennessee.
