Henry Irvin CLARK is listed with the David CLARK family in Scott County, MS in the 1850 Federal Census. In this census he is shown at the age of 13. It is most likely that this should be Jack. Henry is reported to have married Polly Seaberry and they are listed in Leake County, MS. They are shown as having married during the census year. The son Jack who would have been 13 years old when the census was taken is not listed. The Scott County census was taken August 3, while the Leake County census was taken October 15, 1850. The couple could have married between January 1 and October 15, 1850.
Henry returned (presumably by rail) to MS to visit the family but when no one met him when he arrived in Forest, MS, he decided to walk to Walnut Grove, a distance of 15 miles. A cold rain was falling and he fell ill and died of pneumonia. If in fact, he died in 1893, he would have been pretty old for such a feat, approximately 66 at the time. This information was handed down by the Julian CLARK family. The information obtained from the November 9, 1970 letter gives the place and date of burial in MS. Henry is shown to have been buried in the Clark Family Cemetery near Walnut Grove, MS (located behind the old (c.1860) house) and (erroneously) on the family farm in Kaufman County, TX. Prusumably, the burial in Kaufman County was merely ceremonial. Some have reported that his date of death was approximately 15 years earlier.
He was enlisted by Col. McEasince (name undecipherable) 26 Oct 1863 at Hillsboro, MS for three years. He served in Company E, 6th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry Volunteers, CSA as evidenced by Company Muster Roll forms in 1863 and 1864. At least three instances of "absent without leave" are recorded. It should be noted that the muster roll for July & August 1864 indicates he enlisted with Maj. Berry at Enterprise, MS.
