Notes for George B. & Elizabeth (Family)
Tazewell Co. Virginia marriage register 1, p. 94, records a statement “I certify that this is a true list of the marriages solemnized by me in the year 1829, 1st between George M. Neal and Martha Harmon, 2nd between George B. Clark and Elizabeth Flummer,” and three more marriages. Entry dated 31 Dec 1829, by Ancel Richardson.
John Dehart of Independence, Ky, a grandson of Thomas L. Dehart, and thus a great-grandson of Eliza Ann Clark and Stephen H. Dehart, sent to me a photocopy of a 2-page handwritten record passed down from his grandparents, which appears to be a transcription of George B. and Elizabeth’s family bible record. It is all in the same hand, and appears to have been written at the same time, with a flat nib pen, and the handwriting style common in the 1880’s to 1890’s.
The pages record:
----
George B. Clark was born May the 29th 1800
Elizabeth Clark was born March the 9th 1803
Elizabeth Clark was born Born June 15th 1830
Eliza Ann Clark was born Apr the 4th 1832
John B Clark was born July 29th 1834
Lenard D Clark was born Sept the 2rth 1836
Samuel F. Clark was born Apr 2nd 1839
Mariah T Clark was born Sept the 26th 1841
Manerva P Clark was born August the 8th 1847
Gerge B Clark Died Apr 22nd 1863
Elizabeth Bear Died Apr 1858
George B I. Clark and Elizabeth Flummer was married June 25th 1829
----
(The letter before the “Clark” in the last line looks more like a lower case cursive l than an upper case I. There is no period after the B, but there is after the straight letter.)

Census
1840 census of Morgan Co., KY, lists this family on p. 321, last line, as:
George B. Clarke; 3 m < 5, 1 m 40-50, 2 f 5-10, 1 f 30-40.
1850 census of Morgan Co., KY, enumerated 5 Aug, lists on p. 95 as family #120:
George B. Clark, 51, VA; Elizabeth, 46, VA; Eliza, 17, VA; John, 15, VA; Leonard, 14, VA; Samuel, 11, VA; Mariah, 9, KY; Mary, 6, KY; Manerva, 10/12, KY. (Samuel's entry suggests the family arrived in Ky in late 1839 or early 1840.)
1860 census of Rowan Co., KY, (June 10) lists on p. 9, family #63:
G B. Clark, 54, VA; Elizabeth, 50-something (illegible), VA; what looks like "Sanel", male 20, VA; Ellen, 15, KY; Manerva, 11, KY; Emily (?) Bare, 8, KY.
This entry in general is very hard to read. One would guess that the male age 20 is Samuel, but the next household (#64) is Samuel Clark, 20, living alone, and in that entry the "mu" is distinguishable. Perhaps the Mary age 6 in the 1850 census and the Ellen age 15 in this census are the same person. I have made that assumption and entered a single "Mary Ellen". The given name for the Bare child, presumably their granddaughter, looks more like “Ensly” than Emily.
1870 census of Rowan Co., Ky, (taken June 8), Christy Creek prec., lists on p. 1, family #19:
Elizabeth Clark, 65, farmer; b. VA; Minerva, 17; Francis Fraly, 20; farm laborer; Nancy Fraly, 18, domestic servant; Francis & Nancy married within the year, in March; French Brown, 26 (male), farm laborer. (Minerva should really be 20. She married French Brown in 1872.)
George B. Clarke; 3 m < 5, 1 m 40-50, 2 f 5-10, 1 f 30-40.
