Abner Clark Family
Alabama

m. unknown

I have practically nothing on Teressa Clark's family. This family is only a possibility based on the only known Clark in Tuscallosa, Alabama in 1820 and 1830. Please help.

Of the three Clark families in Alabama in 1840, I believe her father was Abner Clark of South Carolina who probably brought his family here in the 1830's. Abner Sr. seems to have died by the 1840 census but his wife is still living and is 70 - 80 years old living with Abner Clark 30-40yrs, the probable older brother to Teressa. The other possibility may be Samuel Clark 40 to 50 years, who only has a 20 to 30 year old wife at home.

There are no Clarks listed in any county census in Alabama in 1800, 1810, or 1820. 

1810, US Census, South Carolina. Edgefield Co, Roll 62, p. 82

1820 , US Census, South Carolina. Pendleton Co., roll 120 , p.235

1840, Tuscallosa Co., Alabama.

1840, Leake Co., Miss. M704-216, p32 

0n the same page in Mississippi are both WW Clyde and James Clark.  I believe James may be the brother of Teresa.  James is 40-50 years old along with his possible mother.  Teresa should be 20-30 years old.
