Erasmus Clark of NJ
Does anyone recognize these Clark's from NJ?
Ancestor Erasmus James Clark b:Scotch Plains, Essex, NJ 1840
came to California in the 1860's with/or followed a brother
Thomas H Clark b:1832/33 NJ. Erasmus married Laura Holton in Sacramento, CA Jan 1870.I have everything from then on (including the family Bible) but nothing of his early years.
Who are the parents? (Scotch Plains is out of Westfield NJ) but Erasmus says it's in Union co (formed when he was abt. 17) not Essex county, so he knew that it had changed.
I've tried every database, index, images, civil war papers etc. with no luck.
Wife Laura's family always gave maiden and family names for middle names. Their oldest son is named George LYON Clark. Second child-maternal grandmother's maiden name, third child's middle name is HILLIS.
Erasmus death cert informant only gives his mother's name, it says she is Martha Hills.
I've searched through every approach I can find and I've still hit that brick wall.Does anyone know these guys?
Thanks everyone.
