General Notes: Husband - William Clark

---

He lived near South Bend, in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where Clark's blockhouse or station (so named in honor of his father) stood in the days when it was necessary for the settlers to protect themselves against the Indians.

He learned the tanning trade with Robert McClanahan, who lived five miles south of Indiana, Pennsylvania. In 1832, after having worked for Robert Hamilton on Yellow Creek, and Nicholas Loughery, of Blairsville, he went on foot to Montreal, Canada, and remained till 1834, when he came to Shelocta, opened a store, built a tavern stand, and inaugurated a postoffice. In 1844, he removed to Kittanning, and in 1852 to Freeport, and was supervisor of the canal for twenty-three months. In 1853 he was elected sheriff of Armstrong County, and served three years. In 1856, he was a candidate for state senator on the democratic ticket, but was defeated by Titian J. Coffee. In 1857, he made a bid on the overland mail for California, and in 1858, was appointed inspector of domestic liquors, with office at Philadelphia, and served two years and nine months. From 1848 to 1852, he ran a stage route from Ebensburg to Butler. He had contracts for "five buckboard" routes, but sold them to other parties. [HIC 1880, 413]
