Clarke, Vachel Adams, Nancy 17 Oct 1813 Gibson Co.

It seems a stretch for Vachel to have married in Indiana, but Gibson Co. is not that far from Caldwell Co., and the Ohio and Wabash Rivers were the super-highways of their day. Who knows what reason he could have had for being there...

3. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1820 (Broderbund CD-314): not found, which almost certainly means he was in Missouri (there was no 1820 census in Missouri).

7. Descendants of Robert Dillingham, Sr. [link died] by Larry Wayne Lieneke. According to Mr. Lieneke, Vachel CLARK married Jane ADAMS ca. 1814 in Caldwell Co., KY. I have never been able to figure what Vachel was doing in Indiana [Northwest Territory at the time], so a Caldwell Co. marriage does make more sense. Still, other secondary sources do say he's the one who married Nancy ADAMS in Gibson Co.; and it is the only marriage record I can find for a Vachel CLARK — and Vachel CLARK is a very rare name.
