1. WILLIAM1 CLARK was born November 18, 1788 in Ninety-Six (Edgefield) District, South Carolina, and died February 24, 1856 in Sabine County, Texas. He married (1) ELIZABETH ISAACKS March 16, 1812 in Amite County, Mississippi, daughter of ELIJAH ISAACKS and HESTER DONAHO. She was born August 09, 1798 in South Carolina, and died 1835 in Sabine County, Texas. He married (2) MAHALA LOUISE GRAHAM December 21, 1836 in Sabine County, Texas, daughter of JOHN GRAHAM and POLLY LOWE. She was born January 17, 1811 in Kentucky, and died December 24, 1888 in Sabine County, Texas.
Notes for WILLIAM CLARK:
1. There is a disagreement on his birth and death date, one cousin has him born on November 18, 1788 and dying February 24, 1856 and the headstone reads May 1,1790 and dying July 4, 1856.
(in the 1835 census he listed his age as 45 so the 1790 birth date seems correct)
2. While Grandpa William Clark was fighting in the War of Texas Independence against Mexico, his first wife Elizabeth Isaacks died. According to family stories while Santa Anna was pursuing Sam Houston, word came to the settlers of the Tebo Community in Sabine County, Texas that Santa Anna's Army was coming up the Spanish Trail, which goes up through East Texas, so they packed up all the families and headed to Louisiana, on the way there, between Milam and Pendleton's Ferry, Elizabeth died of Pneumonia. (source J. W. Clark)3. When Grandpa William Clark came to Texas he first settled in the
Tebo area in Sabine County. After the War for Texas Independence and the death of his wife Elizabeth he moved to Sandy Creek area in Sabine County close to the Newton County line where he met and married Mahalia Graham.
