We were unable to find Samuel Clark in any of the history books, so Monday we hiked for the court house in Mayville. There we found that Samuel bought land from the Holland Land Co. in 1833, 77 acres of lot 24 in the town of Busti bounded by Alexander Young on lot 24 and Harvey Young on lot 23 for which he paid $327.97. According to his will, dated 3 Feb. 1844, and the probate dated 20 April 1847, he had sons William, John, Samuel and Valentine, and daughters Sarah, Betsey and Anna Eliza, the wife of Aaron Cook. He left $100 "in good property" to be paid within to years after his death to Betsey, Ann Eliza, William, John and Valentine but not to Samuel. To Sarah $50 "in good property," a cow, some sheep and some household furniture. The rest of the property was left to Samuel and Valentine jointly with the proviso that they care for their mother during her lifetime "in comfort and with conveniences." They were also to pay any debts which Samuel Sr. left. In April 1862 Samuel JR and wife Harriet, and mother Wealthy also signing, sold the property to Jonathan Young, probably a son of Alexander Young, their neighbor.
In 1849 Valentine and Samuel bought John's property. He does not appear in the 1850 census of Busti. Since he and William did not share in the homestead, we surmise that Samuel had already given them their share. Valentine had a large number of children and was a great realtor. The books are full of his many real estate deals. In the census he calls himself a merchant.
While William and wife had two children buried on this plot, I do not find them in any neighboring cemetery, neither Valentine nor John. But Samuel is in the Bentley-Lakewood on half of lot number 13 with Harriet, his second daughter Virginia, and six other Clarks. Not all could be his children from the dates. The 1855 census lists Augusta Fargo, age 13, "his wife's sister." Lyman C. Fargo, born 1803 and died 1849 is on this lot. I suspect he is the father of Harriet 1835-1916. She married secondly, a Cheney. Samuel was born 1822 died 1875. The 1822 agrees with the census. We would be most happy to have descendants contact us.
