NOTES: 1. CLIENT NOTES: The birth date of Calvin S. Clark is somewhat in dispute. The 1808 date is from the Mills family Bible. We have found him in two census reports. We have not found his original wife. He was in Kansas in 1860. His last child was born in Missouri. The Kansas Genealogical Society believes that his original wife must have died in Missouri. The two census reports on him are: 1850 Macon County, Missouri, Dist #32, and 1860 Bourbon County, Kansas. The death date is from Aunt Eva Elsie Mills Sparks, who copied it from the Clark family Bible. May be related to Sylvester Clark of Franklin County,MA.
