Nicholas* Clark

Notes:

As a little known event to add to the troubles in Ireland in the middle of the eighteenth century, a famine occured in 1739-40 which was said to have caused nearly 400,000 deaths to occur in Ireland.


Melinda writes of (..) Clark:
It is a supposition on the part of several Louisiana Clark researchers that Terence, Patrick, John and Francis are brothers. There is an additional Clark family in the Orleans Territory, headed by Matthew Clark and Isabelle Wilson, who may be another brother. There are various documents that link the descendants of the first four as cousins (find reference here from Sue Severson). Patrick's wife and Francis' wife both are named Melon/Malone (and various other transliterated spellings) and are both referred to as "from Baltimore, Maryland." In addition, there is a 1790 document executed by Patrick in which the scribe refers to his brother "Clarens", which may be Terence.

Nicholas* married Catherine* Quinter about 1737. Catherine* was born about 1720; died after 1766. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Referred to in records of his son Oliver as John and Thomas and Edward in separate entries.
Note: Sibling relationship assumed.

Edward married Mary Ann Brooks about 1762. Mary was born about 1740 in New York; died after 1804 in of, St.Martin Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Note: from Melinda: The theory that I go by (and other Clark researchers I've corresponded with agree) is that Francis and Patrick are brothers who married sisters Rachel and Catherine in Baltimore.

CLARK, Patrick - 11 Mar 1809 sold land to Assa White in Avoyelles Par; land is bounded by land of Daniel Clark

from Melinda's website (copyrighted)
Patrick Clark was an early resident of Colonial Louisiana, having signed the death document of Maria Donegan or Duncan 15 August 1780. In November 1780, he sold a barge in a document that mentioned his brother "Clarens" (probably Terrance) as a recipient of some of the proceeds of the sale. He was the witness for the marriage of Louis Hooter to Marie Louise Valdrick 6 February 1793 (Louis may have been the brother of Patrick's son-in-law Joseph Hooter) and served as godfather to several of the children of his neighbors and kin. The last document found of Patrick is a land sale in 1809 to Asa White who is the second husband of daughter Sarah. Patrick does not appear in the 1810 census of Louisiana.
Text: This is the first document we see with Patrick's signature.

Patrick married Catherine Melon about 1759. Catherine (daughter of John* Melon and (..) Melon, Mrs) was born about 1740 in of, Pennsylvania; Virginia; died after 1766. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

There was a possible connection between the Clarks and the Stephens in Maryland. There is a Rachel Clark who married William Stevens and some purport that she is the daughter of Francis; however her birth is 1792.

Notes:

from Melinda's webpage (copyrighted)
I do have proof that Daniel is the son of Patrick Clark and Catherine Malone: in the court records over the tutorship of the minor children of Louis Hooter and his widow Sarah Clark, Daniel is named as the children's uncle. I have not found any record of Daniel having children in Avoyelles Parish, although he and his wife Mary sell land in Avoyelles Parish.
There is also a Daniel "of New Orleans" who had land transactions in Attakapas District and Ascension Parish. This is the more "famous" Daniel, whose uncle Daniel Clark Sr. left him a great inheritance of land. I have found no proof of relationship of Daniel to this family.

Daniel married Mary (..) Clark about 1790 in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. Mary was born about 1770; died after 1814. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

from Melinda's webpage (copyrighted)
Richard is listed in the Calendar of Louisiana Colonial Documents, in Avoyelles Parish, in 1800. Because Patrick (possibly his father) was listed as having two boys in his household in the 1800 Church Census of Avoyelles, I am guessing that Richard and Daniel were the two boys.

Patrick Clark served in the War of 1812 - he was a Pvt. in 17, 18 and 19 Consolidated LA Militia from 6 Nov 1814 to 6 Mar 1815. From photocopies of National Archives Muster Roll and Pay Roll.
In the 1900 census, Patrick's son Charles lists his father's birthplace as South Carolina. The Clarks were in Louisiana for many years before Patrick's birth, but Patrick's mother Esther Cantey's family was from South Carolina.
The death record of an unnamed Clark, died in New Orleans and buried in St. Louis Cemetery, is possibly that of Patrick. Another death record, Daniel Clark, 23 Sep 1827, died in Charity Hospital and was buried as a pauper, could possibly be Patrick's brother Daniel.

Patrick married Mary Catherine Williamson about 1822 in Louisiana. Mary was born on 7 Jul 1805 in Tennessee; died after Nov 1880 in San Jacinto Co, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The William Clark Family:
William Clark came to Texas in 1835 with his wife, Caroline Bland Clark, from Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. They came along with all of her family; her brothers, John and Peyton Bland (sometimes spelled Payton), her mother, Elizabeth Johnson, and her stepfather, Dick Johnson.
In Orange County, Clark received a section of land from the Lorenzo de Zavala grant. This parcel extended towards present day Mauriceville. He later purchased part of the adjacent Theron Strong Survey and put it in his wife's nam. It was said to be a very unusual thing in those days for a woman to have property in her own name. This property extended from near Adams Bayou on the west to Jack's Island on the east, then southward nearly to the present I-10 freeway.
William and Caroline Clark built a log cabin on what is now Clark Lane (naed later for another family of Clarks). At that time, however, it was situated near the trail that led to Newton County. They had three children, Oliver, Robert (obrn in Orange County on October 3, 1840) and Rachel. The elder Clarks lived in the log house for the rest of their lives. They were buried nearby in the Block Cemetery.
At their deaths, the William Clark Survey was left to their oldest son Oliver Clark, whose descendants still live in the Mauriceville area.
Caroline Bland Clark's property was left to the younger son, Robert F. Clark. Caroline died without leaving a will, and since her estate had $600 indebtedness against it, Clark had to sell the land to pay it off.
Both Oliver and Robert Clark were conscripted for servcie in the Confederate army, but Oliver refused to to and eventually was used as a scout to lead Confederate troops through the swamps of the Sabine River. Robert agreed to go, and served in the Southern army until he co tracted pneumonia and was treated in Atlanta. During his absence, his wife and baby died; they are buried in the Wilkinson Cemetery near Mauriceville.
After the war, Robert married Ozea Gilbeau of Breaux Bridge Louisiana. Their first child, Cloey Belle, was born in Orange County on September 27, 1869. Three years later, in 1872, Robert built a home of finished lumber on the Newton County road. This house was sold about 1904, to the Heard family and is still lived in by the Heard family members. Old oaks att he front of the house were planted by Cloey Clark when she was a small girl.
Other children born to Robert and Ozea Clark included four sons: Will Oliver, H.D. (Dick), Campbell, and Burnett; and a second daughter, Alice. The three younger sons were shot to death as young men during Orange County's lawless era, and Alice died of a stroke at age twenty-six. Will did not marry, but stayed at home to look after his parents and the farm, a common custom in the Victorian age. Robert Clark died on December 16, 1922 and Oea Clark on June 19, 1927. Their landholdings were left to Will and when he died on October 30, 1941, he left the property to his surviving sister, Cloey.
Cloey Clark and Alvah Payne of Bryan were married in the first Clark home on the old Newton trail on January 4, 1892. They raised four children, Clara Payne (Heard), Carrie Payne (Heard), Robert M. and Harrison.
Allie Payne died on April 28, 1934, and Cloey Payne in 1953. Their property was divided among their children and most of it was sold. However, 12 acres of the original Caroline Bland Clark land is still in family hands, specifically those of Jeanette Heard Robinson.

HAYES: TOWN FIRST KNOWN AS DUGAS PASTURE
In the beginning Hayes was known as DUGAS PASTURE, or La Savanne des Duga s. It was named for Dugas, a cattle grazer from Andrus Cove, who discover ed this bountiful pasture land ideal for grazing his wild cattle. They cou ld be kept here without supervision because the area was bounded on the ea st by the Lacassine Bayou, on the north and west by swamp, and on the sou th by marsh.

Eloi Primeaux of Hayes, who?s done extensive research on this area says, t here is no recorded history on the Dugas family, except that they were Aca dians, migrating to Louisiana in about 1755, and settling at AndrusCove, t wo miles northeast of Lake Arthur. They had large herds of cattle.

Dugas did not want settlers to come into this area because they?d ruin h is good cattle and his pastureland. He managed to keep them off, until Tho mas Hayes came along. It is believed that Dugas may have died about that t ime.

Thomas Hayes? ancestor - William Hayes - came to Louisiana some times befo re 1784 from Halifax , PA, and settled in St. Landry parish. In 1832 Thom as Hayes moved into Dugas Pasture to become the first white settler ther e. He married Mary Ann Foreman, from Andrus Cove, and they settled near t he Lacassine Bayou.

Hayes' great-great granddaughter, Mrs. Tom Taylor of Lake Charles tel ls of a near tragedy the Hayes suffered shortly after moving to Dugas Past ure. "Thomas Hayes was gravely ill with typhoid fever. There were no neigh bors, and no doctors. Their child -Paren - was just a toddler.

"Mrs. Hayes knew she had to leave to get help for her critically ill husba nd, so she tied the young toddler to the bedstead, put out plenty of fo od and water for him, and left. Crossing the Lacassine Bayou in a pirogu e, she then used a horse to travel about tifteen miles through the isolate d, unsettled territory to the Andrus Cove Ferry on the Mermentau. James An drus took her to his home by flatboat. Then he got William Holland To ri de to Crowley To find a doctor .

Two days later the group got back to the Hayes home where they found Thom as Hayes still alive and recuperating from his battle with typhoid. The yo ung child - Paren - who'd been tied to the bedstead, was dirty, and crust y, and upset. But he was physically alright.

George, Jr. 1, TX
(next door to David Burrell)
George was a farmer, stock raiser, living in Taylor's Bayou, Jefferson Co, Texas in 1870 (census). He apparently died before 1880 because his wife and son George, age 6 and daughter Electra, age 14, moved in with his son David and Martha, at lest during the 1880 census taking time. Also living with David and Martha were David's brother Frank, age 28, sister Sarah C, age 26, and a niece, Mabel, 1 year old. Since Sarah had not yet married, Mabel must have been Frank's child.

He had been a soldier in the Mexican war and also was in the Civil War. Possibly he was away in military service.
Alzina, the oldest at 12 years old, and Mary, the youngest at 6 years old, were both living in the John McCall household (Residence 361 in census record) where their grandmother Mary Johnson Hayes Gallier was also staying.
John had just married Martha Ann Garner, also daughter of Matilda Hayes Garner and sister of Ann Garner McCall. They had married in January of the year before, but she is not listed in the household and is not found in any 1860 census record.
Matilda, the 2nd oldest, is next door (residence 359), living with her aunt, Matilda Hayes Garner and husband Jacob Garner and children.
Nancy, 8 years old, was taken in by her cousin, Ann Garner McCall whose mother Matilda, next door, who took in her sister Matilda. Ann was married to James McCall, brother of John McCall. Also living with them was John Johnson, a cousin. They were living in residence 358.
