Clark

The primary purpose of this page is to research the ancestors of the Clark family who settled around Wayne County, Missouri. They came to Missouri at an early date and it is hoped that some of the records mentioning them can be gathered here. Other Clark families may be mentioned in the hopes that by doing so some of the confusion of such a common name will be eliminated and family connections found. Though it is hoped the information is accurate, this is a works in progress and any additional information or corrections are appreciated.

Other Details
 

-Census Information
 

-CLARK Database
This database has just been started so please let me know of any corrections. Also, some data may be duplicated because information has been included from many sources. For example, a marriage record usually does not mention the parents so the family may be unknown. So far there is a combination of Clark names from cemetery, census, marriage, obituaries, and personal records.
