112. James CLARK
All these CLARK males seem to be of the same family. We are still trying to confirm the connections. Obviously some girls were born in between these guys.

(District 96-Edgefield) (At one time I thought this could be our folks, but I have other information that seems to prove this is not our James and Zelphy. -Some records state that her last name was SCOTT, but it appears that there was a Zelphia SCOTT who did marry a James CLARK. That James was in the 1850 St. Joseph Co., IN Census, 80 years old living with his son Malachi, therefore not our James CLARK.)

CLARK-James State of TN LAND GRANTS in SEVIER COUNTY, TN Grant # 508
"#508 JAMES CLARK-239 acres 115 poles-Sevier County-on the waters of Little East Fork of Little Pigeon River-CC None Surveyed March 17, 1807" (CC stands for: Chain Carrier)These five counties, Jefferson, Knox, Blount, Sevier and Cocke contained the Territory South of French Broad. In 1796 Tennessee became the sixteenth state, but she was still not free to issue land titles for land included in her Territory South of French Broad. North Carolina and the Federal Government were still squabbling over Tennessee’s lands and their disposition. In all this period of confusion, John Sevier saw that the rights of preemption and occupancy were preserved until 1806 when Tennessee was able to grant title to this area.
Had land adjacent to: John CRAIG in 1807.(Also near: John CHASTIN and George OLDHAM)

Along the "waters of the Middle Prong" were the homesteads of Robert Shields, Jr. and William Shields, George Oldham, James Clark, Josiah Maples, William Mitchell, Joel Ivy, Samuel and James Ferguson, Alexander Bohanon, and Isaac Veach. The Red Bank Baptist Church, originally an arm of the Church in the Forks, was constituted in 1840. In the CLARK Cemetery in this area are 40-50 graves marked with fieldstones. No names can be read on the stones. It is located near the Little Pigeon River, about one-half mile west of Red Bank Baptist Church.
1830 lists a Silva (probably Zilpha) CLARK with males age 50-59, 1 male age 15-19, females 70-79, and 1 30-39.
Other CLARKS on the 1830 Sevier Co., TN Census are:
Isom CLARK age 30-39
James CLARK age 20-29
Amos CLARK age 30-39On the 1840 Sevier Co., TN there is:
Jeremiah CLARK
Amos CLARK
James CLARKZilphy is listed on the 1840 Sevier Co., TN Census with 1 female age 80-89, female 20-29, one male age 10-14.
He is thought to be buried in the CLARK family cemetery. The CLARK Cemetery contains about 40-50 graves marked with fieldstones. No names can be read on the stones. It is located near the Little Pigeon River, about one-half mile west of Red Bank Baptist Church. To reach this cemetery, beginning in Sevierville at the intersection of US 441 and State Route 66, drive on US 411 (toward Newport) for 3.3 miles. Turn right onto Old US 411. Drive 0.6 miles and bear right onto Pittman Center Road. Drive 2.0 miles. The cemetery is on the right, about 400 yards at the top of the hill in a grove of trees.
113. Zelphy
Based on the names of the children of Isom CLARK's daughter, the evidence indicates that this was
very likely their mother. The fact that Joseph named a daughter Zepha also indicates this.Cocke County, Tennessee, Big Pigeon Church Minutes 1787 - 1874, Pages 30 - 39:

Who is the male 50-60?- (Born 1770-1780) Perhaps a Son and Daughter-In-Law
(2 males 15-20 could have been born: 1805-1815)-Probably grandchildren or Jeremiah (He was born
in SC) because I can't find him anywhere in the 1830 Census otherwise.1837 Tax List: Sevier Co., TN:

Some records state that her last name was SCOTT, but it appears that there was a Zelphia SCOTT who did marry a James CLARK. That James was in the 1850 St. Joseph Co., IN Census, 80 years old living with his son Malachi, therefore not our James CLARK.
114. EVANS
The father of Elizabeth is probably William who had a Mill on the river very close to the old CLARK homeplace on Clark branch about 4 miles south of Sevierville. He had a son named Richard.
Possibly the father of our Elizabeth is William EVANS from Wales.

Some list a Jabez THURMAN as a child. He fits in the birth order by his dates, but others list him as a child of a Joseph THURMAN.
119. Nancy SANDRIDGE
At her wedding to John, an Isabel BEAVERS attended to her, but no kinship was mentioned.
As a widow, she applied for a pension. Pension file submitted under W. 28009.

In 1851 she gave a post office address as Greeneville, TN.
In 1851 she lived in Greeneville, TN

She and John raised a large family but only the following were mentioned in her Widow's Pension application: Sarah, Lucy and Martha.
She is buried in the Stafford Cemetery, Sevier Co., TN. Drive toward Newport from Sevierville on US 411 to the bridge over the Little Pigeon River. From the bridge drive 1.4 miles and turn right onto a dirt road. The cemetery is 0.1 miles ahead. Stafford Cemetery is on the right. No dates are on the stone.
