See Stephanus Clark file [David E. Kane] for group sheets, etc. [Was "O." [Osborn] Daniel's middle name?]
*****
See this family, District #9, Penn Township, Johnson County, Iowa 1850. The Robart family lived almost next door to them...hence the marriage of the children.

Possibly listed in 1860 Census in Chehalem Center, Yamhill County, Oregon. In that record Christina Clark, age 50, is living with him. No indication if she is his wife; she was born Kentucky. Also lists Israel as being born in Kentucky, which is
incorrect, if this is indeed Israel Clark, son of Stephanus Clark.
*****
Christina lived in East Chelhalem in 1870 with the Parrish family, apparently widowed.
