Census
1830 census of Lawrence Co., KY lists:
Joseph M. Clarke, 1 male under 5; 1 male 30-39; 1 female under 5; 1 female
15-19.
1840 census of Portsmouth, Scioto Co., Ohio, lists:
Joseph M. Clark, 1 male under 5; 1 male 5-9; 1 male 30-39; 1 female 5-9; 1 female 10-14; 1 female 20-29.
I can’t find Joseph in 1850. There is a Cynthia Clark listed as age 34, born Virginia, in Portsmouth with the family of Thomas G. Lloyd, who may be his widow (although her age was probably more like 38), but the 1850 census does not give relationships or marital status. There are no Clark children with her, but judging by the 1840 census, Joseph and Cynthia had at least two sons and two daughters.
