The Clark-Hart Pages

Our Clark family line begins in Banham, Norfolk, England, with Joseph Clark, the Immigrant (1613 - 1684) and a 17 year old Alice Fenn (1623 - 1711) arriving in New England in the summer of 1640.

The Hart family line originates in Belfast, Ireland, emigtating from the Ulster Plantation, and settling in Bucks County, PA around 1735. The Hart family is descended from Samuel C. Hart, the Pioneer. Another branch of the family was started by Samuel's 4 daughters, who married and migrated in the mid 1700's to Rowan County, North Carolina near Salisbury. These pages present the history of the Clark and Hart families, from their European roots to their settlements and migrations in America.

Harry Spalding Clark (b. 14 Sep 1823 Asylum, PA), a wagon maker and farmer originally from Wyalusing, in Bradford County PA. was the 5th of 11 children born to Ebenezer P. Clark and Polly Smith Clark. Harry's wife, Clarissa Tupper Lathrop, daughter of Spencer Lathrop of Springville, PA, was a distant relative of General Benjamin Tupper, a founder of Marietta, OH, and noted pioneer in the settlement of the Northwest Territory in the late 1700's.

H. S. Clark's great-uncle was Benjamin Clark who settled in 1784 in Asylum, Bradford County PA, and would become the first permanent settler of Ulster, PA. He served in Sullivan's March during the Revolution, and his pension papers are linked on his page. Benjamin Clark's son John Theophilus Clark settled his family along Sugar Creek in Burlington, Bradford County PA, and raised a large family of 12 children. One son, James H. Clark, migrated west to Grant County, Indiana in the late 1830's.

H.S. Clark's grandfather, Samuel Clark, moved to Ulster PA from Ashford, CT, around 1790. Tragically, in late 1808, Samuel was accidentally shot to death by a neighbor who was deer hunting. H. S. Clark died in Towanda PA in 1916 at the fine age of 93, and is buried with his parents, Ebenezer P. Clark and Polly Smith Clark in Wyalusing, PA.

The 1937 Hart family picture shows Thomas Hart our grandfather, Peggy Hart, our mother, Margaret Newbold Smith, our grandmother, and Thomas Hart, Jr. The Hart family is descended from Samuel C. Hart, the Pioneer. Margaret Newbold Smith's grandfather was Colonel C. Ross Smith of the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry in the Civil War.
