67. His birth date is recorded on a Clark family list of births; the photocopy in the author's
possession was probably copied for information on Paul Clark's birth certificate. His obituary and death certificate give the birth year as
1857; 1900 census age 43 b. 6-Jan-1857; 1910 census age 51. The Clark birth list has crossed out Westmoreland Co. as birthplace, overwritten
with Orange. There is no Westmoreland Co. in NY; only in PA and VA. There are 2 towns named Westmoreland in NY; the one in Suffolk Co. on
Long Island has no Clarks in the 1860 census, but there are a flock of them, born in Connecticut, settled in the Westmoreland in Oneida Co.
His death certificate records Leonard H. Clark as the attending physician. No relationship has been determined.
