Ephram Clark

001 010 - 000 000 001

These data indicate:

No. & Sex	Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
1 male	10-14	1815-1820	= Son A
1 male	20-29	1800-1810	= Ephraim (b. 1803/4)
1 female	60-69	1760-1770	= Patience (b. ca. 1763)

The female appears to be Ephraim's mother, Patience.  I cannot figure who the young male is, unless Ephraim married very young, then lost his wife after having one child.  The boy cannot be a son of Patience, unless she had a child after her husband died, either illegitimately or by a second husband who also died.  But the most likely explanation is that Ephraim had an earlier wife, because it was unusual for a man to marry for the first time in his 30s.  They are living three doors down from Daniel McKENZIE, who was possibly Mary's father.
