CLARK, OF CLARK'S VALLEY.
WILLIAM CLARK, the first of the name to settle in this country, was of Scoteli-Irish de- scent, and came to America in 172S. IIe settled in then Chester county, Province of Pennsylvania, and died there. His son, William, was born in Pennsylvania, and after reaching manhood, with his family settled in what was at first called the " Nar- rows of Paxtang," then Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county, in a valley about two miles from the Susquehanna river, giv- ing to the valley and the creek the name of Clark, which they still retain. The farm on which they settled is yet known as the Clark farm, although it has passed into other hands. After residing there a number of years he rented his farm and migrated to Northumberland county, in this State, where he bought a farm, and lived there until com
pelled to leave on account of the hostile at- titude of the Indians, which caused the "Great Runaway " of 1778-79. They buried ali their farming implements, lashed two canoes together and taking some few clothes with them, sailed down the Susquehanna river, and thus escaped the savages. They then returned to Middle Paxtang, where the second William died. His children were as follows :
i. Robert. ii. John.
iii. James.
iv. William. v. Janc.
vi. Love.
vii. Sarah.
viii. Elizabeth.
Robert, the eldest of the children, was never married. He lived the greater part of his life in Dauphin county, and finally died in Perry county.
John, the second son, and Jane, the eldest of the girls, lived on a farm about one mile up Clark's Valley. Neither of them were married ; they lived to a good age and died on the farm where they had lived.
James, the third son, was never married, and died when a young man.
Love, the second daughter, married James Hines. They at one time resided at Erie, Pa., and from there removed to Indianapolis, Ind., or in that neighborhood.
Sarah, the third daughter, married Moses Gladding and lived most of her life in Clark's Valley.
Elizabeth, the youngest of the sisters, mar- ried Richard Green, a son of Col. Timothy Green. They had two children, Timothy and Jane.
WILLIAM CLARK, the youngest son, was born February 18, 1774. He left home after he became of age and went to the western part of the State, and settled in Crawford county, near what is now Meadville, Pa. He there married Miss Sarah Patterson in 1802. He was elected associate judge of Crawford county, and was in the war of 1812 and '14, when he was appointed brigade in- spector of the Western district of Pennsyl- vania. He rendered service in forwarding men and supplies to Erie ; was on board the flagship St. Lawrence in her first engage- ment with the British fleet on Lake Erie.
