Notes for Zenas H. Clark
Since this whole family was born in Massachusetts, they are clearly no relation to me, and therefore I am not really interested in finding out their ancestry. But it is useful to have them and their close descendants in my database anyway, so that I can look up them up to see which of the Rowan County Clarks are related to me and which aren’t.
Notes for Zenas H. & Mary (Family)
Theirs is probably the marriage recorded in the online database “Massachusetts Marriages, 1633-1850”, as Lewis H. Clark and Mary Wright, New Marlborough precinct, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, on 18 Feb 1843. “Zenas” could be misread as Lewis if the Z was the form without a tail, and there is no marriage record for any other bride Mary to a Clark groom in the right time and place, and there is no Lewis Clark listed in the 1850 census of Berkshire Co. Also there was a James Wright age 23 living with Zenas and Mary in 1850, who might be a brother.
