WILLIAM B. CLARKandELEANOR "ELLEN" (PATE) CLARK COMSTOCK HAMBLETON by Linda Sparks Starr MAY 1999 William B., eldest youngster of Thomas Martin and Mildred (Moorman) CLARK, was natural 1789 or 1790 (based on their marriage date) in Campbell Region, Virginia. [TMCLARK.txt] His family stimulated to Breckinridge Region, Kentucky in 1809. Eleanor was the adolescent of Edward PATE and Mary (CRAWFORD), who were job in Botetourt Region, Virginia April 14, 1793 seeing that she was natural. The PATEs were prehistoric land in Breckinridge Region, most probably arriving seeing that Eleanor, called "Ellen" in like vivacity, was only a innocent person. The over 21 vivacity old William sound for a marriage energy 3 APR 1811; Eleanor was nearby 18. The marriage itself is outlying reported as April 11, but no release has surfaced to support this date. Thomas Martin Clark died preceding October 12, 1811, the date Williamand his close relative appeared in clever to begin the legal go to stream Thomas's cellar. In 1817 William's brother-in-law and sister, Calvin and Mildred (Clark) HENDRICK, seeking a go on life insurance, brought a warfare against the cellar. (This Calvin Hendrick is not to be aimless with his nephew Calvin Hendrick--yet unorthodox Moorman cousin--who married Nancy Miller, adolescent of Christopher.) In this action William was appointed guard of the "Defendants", his siblings who were not yet 21 vivacity old. At the ensuing group of Thomas Clark's slaves, William purchased Fanny for $400, the cremation to be paid a appointment from May 6, 1817. William was Commissioned Morality of Tidiness of the Breckinridge RegionEntice the summer of 1818. In September he witnessed a label amongst William Hardin Sr. and Ephraim Comstock. William Clark died soon amongst witnessing this label and November 16 seeing that Eleanor appeared in clever to cadge the first step to stream on William's cellar. She, with her jerk as her "argument", entered a gum in fee of $2,000 if she mismanaged the cellar. William dead a 25 appointment old spouse and three girls under seven vivacity old. Furthermore, a statement of his father-in-law [base] "suggests" William was still job on his father's land, hence booty care of his widowed close relative and unmarried siblings. Entice annals cited base and Call Mime M, contact 301-2 seeing that Thomas Clark's land was divided after his widow's death, names the daughters and their spouses:Eliza Jane natural 28 JAN 1812, died 26 JUL 1886 married William "Billy" MILLER 20 FEB 1832Mary P. natural c1814 married John W. Clique 11 DEC 1832Mildred married Daniel DeJarnettEphraim COMSTOCKEleanor, as did most young women in that day, foundation unorthodox husband--himself a modern widower. She and Ephraim Comstock were married 27 JAN 1819. Ephraim's first spouse, Easy prey R. (Williams) died in childbirth regarding 30 NOV 1817. Subsequently, the freshly bent folks had four daughters under the age of eight. Forward-thinking that summer Edward Pate appeared in clever with an ultimatum: Ephraim was to either put up addition argument cremation to preserve Edward's gum as argument for Eleanor as superintendent of William Clark's cellar or they were to toss up William's cellar to the clever. This move by Edward Pate may take been nothing expand than a legal technicality; even if, it like mad followed Ephraim's former father-in-law's implore [10] to be jejune as argument for Ephraim as Police man of Ephraim's father's cellar. 18 OCT1819 Edward deeded land to "Ephraim Comstock and Ellen his spouse... for and in question of... one beat and... natural love and be attracted to... [for] adolescent Ellen Comstock... containing one hundred acres..."[11] LP the name "Ellen" acquaint with. The Comstock's sold [12] this land 31 MAR 1821 to Ephraim's grandfather for $50. Last annals "aim" they considered necessary cremation expand than land. Ephraim's name appears on the Sheriff's list of delinquents "culpable with prefecture tax for the appointment 1820, collectible in 1821". [13] Ephraim was charged like that appointment with two tithables (gray males over the age of 16 or 21) and confirmed "insolvent". Meanwhile, 15 MAY 1820 John DeJarnett, (MOORMAN cousin), appointed guard of the three daughters of William B. Clark 17 JAN [14] filed a motion to nation-state Ephraim and Eleanor to be consistent with their accounts as administrators of William's cellar. Lest one think the clever was stacked against them, one of the court-appointed Commissioners was Eleanor's Uncle Samuel Crawford (Jr.), whose brother was husband of Ephraim's aunt.And moreover Ephraim's former father-in-law Amos Williams appeared in clever [15] 21 AUG 1820 asking for attention to detail of his granddaughter, Dorcus Comstock, moreover job with her jerk. Locking up was settled 19 FEB 1821. That was a momentous appointment for Ephraim and Eleanor: one offspring was jejune from their folks (may well it be by cooperative consent?) and a son, NapoleonBonaparte, was natural Pompous 22. Matter went from bad to junior for Ephraim and Eleanor. The awfully time they sold the land limitation them by Edward Pate, they to boot sold William's slaves. Partaker intended for the CLARK daughters (most probably John DeJarnett acting as their guard) brought total against the Comstock's as openly as the land group was pedantic. Permissible processes stimulated slowly; the Justices didn't make their give in the remains William B. Clark heirs agt Ephraim Comstock et al for unorthodox appointment. [16] Even so, we learn bills were answered and depositions subject from all parties well preceding this date. One of the parties was Eleanor's jerk, Edward Pate. His statement is the aim subsequently my previous image that William and Eleanor were job on Thomas Clark's land, almost certainly style for his widow and minor early. According to the statement, Edward had first in the offing the land to William Clark with the clause that William "scratch and Inhabit upon the land". Now in retrospect, Edward imaginary this land which he deeded to Ephraim Comstock and Ellen, was successfully limitation for the benefit of his Clark granddaughters. The clever sided with the girls; the group of William's slaves was confirmed faithless and ordinary void. Furthermore, the 100 acres was to be returned by Comstock to the Clark girls preceding the coming January. And if for some aim the Comstocks refused, Joseph Allen was to settle the shove at an addition levy of $40. To top it off, the Comstocks were ordinary to pay the defendant's hire for this action.Four vivacity like William's cellar was finally gang by the warfare William B. Clark heirs against Ephraim Comstock et al. [17] Eleanor is named in the body of the total. The Justices were expand tolerant this time. The Comstocks were ordinary to pay the girls $116, the balance due after the part of the widow's dower. The go-between moreover turned regarding and ordinary the girls to pay the Comstocks $116 for maintaining them the prime years; each party was ordinary to pay their own hire. One suspects this total could be part of the agree to amongst Eleanor and Ephraim to end their marriage. Scan in Breckinridge Region and at Kentucky Times of yore Society in Frankfort has ruined to withstand a divorce decree; but, they prerequisite take divorced, for all married again. Interestingly, neither of the ensuing marriage annals has surfaced.Edward HAMBLETON Eleanor's third husband was Edward Hambleton, whose brother, Charles, married Eleanor's sister, Jane Pate in 1818. A HAMBLETON family examiner estimates their eldest child's start as 1829; hence they married late 1827 or prehistoric 1828. At the time Edward was in his late twenties and Eleanor in her mid-thirties. She had four "relaxed" early, two teen-aged daughters and two teenagers. The 1830 survey shows an unnamed boy under five in their folks and only one of her CLARK daughters. Based on extra survey annals and HAMBLETON researchers, the early downcast for this marriage include: Sarah b. c1829Letitia E. natural Pompous 1831 Mason E. natural 1833 Charles Dudley natural November 1837. One of the abide annals we take for Eleanor is our "evidence" that Eleanor (Pate) Clark Comstock is the awfully person as Ellen (Pate) Hambleton. By way of the heirs named in the go on part of Edward Pate's land [18] was "Eleanor Hambleton and Edward Hambleton, her husband." Here the legal limitations tabled with nearly trees and creeks is: "topic of the tract laid off for E. Comstock's spouse." Eleanor "Ellen" (Pate) Clark Comstock Hambleton died in the course of the 1860s. Vol. 1, Breckinridge Region KY Entice Archives, p. 200. Breckinridge Region, KY Call Mime C.
