Notes for JOHN CLARK: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iabiog/guthrie/g1884/g1884-dodge.htm History of Guthrie and Adair Counties, Iowa Springfield, Ill: Continental Hist. Co., 1884. John Clark The first settlement in this locality [Dodge Township] was made by John Clark on the 1st of April, 1854. This gentleman was a native of the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, but in early life had moved to Darke and Champaign counties, Ohio, and later to St. Joseph county, Indiana, from whence, in July, 1853, he emigrated to Guthrie county. He at first located in what is now Victory township, but upon the date mentioned above, came into Dodge and located upon section 32. He was a staunch republican of the old free soil, or abolition school, and was unyielding in his devotion to the principles of right and justice. When he first settled here, he went to work and after putting up a log-cabin, prepared a small piece of land that he might raise some corn. He chopped holes in the broken sod with his woodman's ax, and committing his seed to the kindly soil, recived when harvest time had rolled around, some forty bushels to the acre of good corn from this primitive mode of agriculture. In 1856 he planted and raised some sorghum, which he believed to have been the first in the United States, he having received some seed from a friend who had received them from the patent-office. Mr. Clark continued a resident of Dodge township until December 5, 1875, when he was called on by the "king of terrors," to cross the "dark river" into the "realms of light," leaving a large circle of friends to mourn his death. ================= 1850 Census IN St Joseph Union Pg 72B Clark,John,48,farmer,VA Susannah,44,(can't read state born) David,21,farmer,OH Moses, 18,OH Jacob,14,IN Abraham,11,IN John,9,IN Isaac,6,IN Nancy Ann,4,IN ************** Iowa State Census Collection, 1836-1925 > 1856 > Guthrie > Dodge Line 1 Clark, John 54 MW M S VA Res/State-3yrs Farmer Native Voter Susan 49 FW M PA Jacob 20 MW S IN Abraham 17 MW S IN John 16 MW S IN Isaac 12 MW S IN Nancy J. 9 FW IN Source Information: Ancestry.com.
