1880 census for Brainerd, family #265:
Clark, Henry, head, 50, married, b. England
Clark, John, son, 10, b. Canada
Clark, Frederick, son, 16, b. Canada

It looks like Henry came first, with the two oldest sons, to establish a homestead while his wife and younger children waited in Canada. Ann and daughter Susanna (and probably the rest) immigrated in 1880 according to 1910 census.

See wife for more census info.
