Notes - BIRTH:
Full date of birth in entry from Clark/Hughes family bible record provided to the Delaware Public Archives, Hall of Records, Dover, Delaware by James Hughes, Esq., of Dover, Delaware, in 1972. Vol. 87A, No. 539.
Full date confirmed by tombstone inscription recorded in "Souls in Heaven, Names in Stone: Kent County, Delaware Cemetery Records," by Raymond Walter Dill, William Martin Dill, and Elizabeth Ann Bostick Dill, Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1989, page 398. Identified as the husband of Ellen Clark in tombstone inscription.
Year of birth differs by only one year from age (8 years) given in 1850 U.S. Census for Delaware, Kent County, p. 258. Microfilm Record Group M-432, Roll 52, National Archives, Washington, D.C.
Consistent with age (17 years) given in 1860 U.S. Census for Delaware, Kent County, p. 309, line 15. Enumerated with parents.
Consistent with age (27 years) given in 1870 U.S. Census for Delaware, Kent County, page 147B, line 14. State of birth given as Delaware. Enumerated with wife and daughter.
Consistent with age (37 years) in 1880 U.S. Census for Delaware, as indexed on www.ancestry.com. State of birth given as Delaware. Enumerated as Enoch Clark with wife Ellen and daughter.
Month and year of birth given as February 1845, though, in 1900 U.S. Census for Delaware, Kent County, Vol. 1, E.D. 69, Sheet 2, Line 34. Given the seeming inversion of birth years with wife in census, this may be an error by the census taker.
