Settled at a place called Jersey Settlement in Ohio.
Benjamin Clark, b ca 1760, d before 1847, m 1st Sarah , 2nd 9-22-1805 Lucusso Garland, who must have died before 1813, 3rd Christina Garland, who d before 1847. He was in the Rev War. He shows on est settlement of David, his father, deed book F, p 223 1800-1802, G, p 262 1902-1803. In the Colonial period and for a number of years later, live stock roamed at large. Early laws required that they be earmarked, the horns marked, or that they be branded, for identification. When livestock wandered to the wrong plantation, the law required that it be reported, also advertised. A fee of 25 cents seems to have been charged in Great Egg Harbor Twp. The note was that a yearling steer, crop off the Neigh Ear & hole in the right Ear, came to Benjamin Clark's Mill 1794.
Benjamin arrived in Tate Twp, Clermont Co, OH ca 1804. He bought land with the deed dated 1806 from Robert Tylar and Margaret, his wife. Daniel Teagarden and Robert Leeds were wit. He secured another piece of land from William Simonds and Lydia, his wife. He and his wife, Christina, sold both together on 4-7-1813 for $1400 to Timothy Folger of Hamilton Co. Wit were David Teagarden & Andrew Pirkham.
The land bordered Samuel Echarts, Robert Leeds, Daniel Echart. The land had been surveyed by Thomas Pearson and Patented to Robert Tyler and recorded on War Office Vol. N, page 133 of lands granted to the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment and conveyed to William Simmonds by deed Jun 27, 1810
Robert Leeds, mentioned above, could be the same man who showed in the NJ records. There was a large family of that name at Leed's Point in Gloucester Co. It was at the mouth of the river that the Clarks lived on - being called the Egg Harbor area. Matthew Collins was a neighbor in NJ. He may have been related to the John Collins, who came to Clermont Co to set up the church.
His next purchase bears the date of 1816, when he bought in the survey #2434 of Edward Carrington in Union Twp, to the north. He paid chattel tax 1826 & 1834: 3 cows, 2 horses, 133 acres of 2nd class land in Carrington's survey on the East Fork of the Little Miami. In 1816 he had paid on 170 acres of 2nd class land in Thomas Person survey.
Emma Doughty, Mrs. Daniel, writes to her relatives in New Jersey that Benjamin Clark farms about 18 acres, with corn 11 feet tall, and has not reached its growth yet. I mention those things that you may see how fertile the land is without manure." This is from a series of letters reprinted in a Atlantic Co, NJ history. The letters are dated 1836, and were sent from Batavia, Clermont Co, OH to her sis-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Doughty, Egg Harbor, Absecome, NJ, Co of Gloucester.
Daniel and Emma took seven children, leaving their home, which had been sold on contract to a family member. She mentions Benjamin Clark, as reprinted, p 30, Vol 7-8 of Atlantic Co Historical Soc Yearbook. A note of explanation, p 27 Vol 7-8, says these letters were to Sarah and Charlotte Doughty, wives of her husband's bros, Nathaniel and Enoch.
He was one of the men to whom Rev. John Collins and his wife, Sarah, transferred 1805 land for the purpose of starting a Methodist Episcopal known as Bethel-Bantam Church, or Bethel Methodist meeting house. Others on the deed were Robert Leeds, Thomas Page, Daniel Teagarden, William Simonds, David White. This land bordered Elias Gerard, Jonas Blackwood, Josiah O'Heroin on the Little Miami Rv. Wit were John and Richard Doughty. This is north of Mount Carmel.
The History of Clermont states "In the Bantam neighborhood Methodism has flourished since 1803, when it was introduced by the Rev. John Collins, and at his house the first meetings were held. Among the early members of the class were persons belonging to the Collins, Higbee, McCullom, Justice, Drummond, Clark, and other families living along the East Fork. About 1807 a log meeting-house was erected by the society." John Collins had come from NJ and started what was known as the New Jersey Settlement. Benjamin lived on the edge, buying from Tylar.
Benjamin's 1st wife was Sarah, who must have died ca 1805 (to be 2nd bur in church cem,) when he sold to move further north into Union Twp. His wife was Christiana when he sold in 1813. It is possible that he m 9-22-1805 Lucusso Garland and she did not live long. No marriage record is found for a Christina Garland. A history of ME Church is quoted "Mrs. Sarah Clark, wife of Benjamin Clark, a Methodist 'exhorter' and class leader, was the second person buried in Old Bethel cemetery. Mr. Chandler was the first. The records of the Bethel Church were stored in a shed, which burned in the early 1900's. Only a few items mentioned in county histories have been preserved.
