Notes for Hannah CLARK

In 1880 Census it is stated that both parents were from VA. Lived alone.
See 1850 Missouri > Clinton > District 16 when Samuel Clark lived with
family.
The first thing I did was check the Missouri death certificate database for Dan Carpenter. Indeed the database had a death certificate for Daniel Carpenter in Clay County, Missouri. Daniel Carpenter was described as a married white man born on March 7,
1825 in Ohio. According to the death certificate he was a retired farmer and merchant. His wife's name was Pauline Carpenter. His father's name was William Carpenter and his mother's name was Hannah Clark. He died on June 14, 1920 and was buried at a
place called "Gashland." I found no record that Dan Carpenter had ever been married to Harriett Mitchell. But more about that later. Analyzing census records I determined that William Carpenter was born on July 27, 1790. It appears that he was actually
born in Virginia and not Ohio. He died on June 4, 1873 in Weston Platte County, Missouri. His wife Hannah Clark, was born on February 14, 1798 also apparently in Virginia. She died on September 18, 1881 in Weston, Platte County Missouri. According to
Clay County, Missouri cemetery records, Hannah Clark was the daughter of one Samuel Clark. Samuel Clark was born in New Jersey on March 11, 1768. He died in Gallitin, Clay County, Missouri. Next I sought a death certificate for Pauline Carpenter. The
Missouri death certificates database had a death certificate for a Martha Pauline Carpenter who died on March 7, 1924. She was born on April 24, 1831 in North Carolina. Her father was Joseph D. Gash (hence, "Gashland"), and her mother was Eliza
Killian. Census records place Joseph Gash in Morgan, Buncombe County, North Carolina, in the early 19th century. Census records for both Clay County, Missouri and Platte County, Missouri, show a number of individuals named Gash starting around 1840.

I am a desendant of Samuel Clark, the father of Hannah Clark Carpenter, wife of Daniel. In the book "Clark of Elizabeth Town In New Jersey" by Elmer Sayre Clark there is a letter from Daniel Carpenter dated 1913 to the author and some history of
the family. Daniel and Pauline had no children. We visited his grave at the Gash Cemetery in the north part of Kansas City on Sept. 18th.2006. Its a small family cemetery, very well kept. It is less that 100 feet from the entrance to the Red Lobster
Resturant in the Metro North Mall. Samuel Clark is burried there along with three of his daughters. Keith Clark Brimhall

Gash Cemetery - Kansas City, Missouri
William Carpenter, 1790-1873
A native of Virginia, he traveled North with his parents to Ohio. Being a man of vast experience and extensively informed in matters of history, science, mechanics, politics and religion, he originally was a merchant and surveyor by trade. He served
only one term as a State County Representative, declining re-election to the "muddy pool of politics". Militarily, he gained rank as colonel of a regiment in the Ohio malitia; was a "Minute Man", and was called to the front in the War of 1812. A man of
considerable wealth prior to the Civil War, he lost most of it during that time. At the age of 75, he was admitted to the Bar and practiced law in the Platte County Circuit Court. He was married to Hanna Clark, 1798-1881. Her father, Samuel Clark,
1768-1854, is buried next to the Carpenter monument.
