Note: Loren/Loring G.Clark,SR. was born in the state of New York. As a young man he c ame to Sabine,Louisiana sometimes before 1850. I'm not sure if he came by himse lf are if family came with him, I was told a brother came to Texas with him but could never find a record of a brother. The Louisiana U.S.Census states he was married to a Tabitha/Tibitha Bevins born,about1823-in Louisiana.Loring and Tab itha were married December 29,1842 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. Their ol dest child, Levi Clark was born in Louisiana about 1844. A daughter Missouri w as born in Louisiana, about 1846. A third child, a daughter, E.A.was also born in Louisiana about 1851.
In the 1850 census records of Louisiana states, Lo ring's father was born in the state of Vermont and his mother was born in the state of New York. ************************************************** In 186 0 Loring G.Clark,SR and family were living in Woodville,Tyler County, Texas.Two more sons were born in Tyler County, Texas, Edward and Hamilton Clark. In 187 0 Loring and family settled in Grapeland, Houston County, Texas. Two more sons were born to this marriage, Loring G.JR and William Clark.It seems as though Ta bitha passed away sometimes before 1880 because in the 1880 census records Lori ng,SR.was married to someone named Sarah,age-49,born in Alabama. ************ ********************************** 1860> Census> Woodville, Tyler County, Tex as Listed as: L.G.
