Narrative:

     Henry T. Clark was born about 1842 in Lyon Co., Kentucky.6,7,8
     He appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Caldwell Co., Kentucky, in the household of his parents, James G. Clark and Mary Willard Cobb.12
     Henry appeared with his parents on the 1860 Federal Census of Dycusburg, Crittenden Co., Kentucky, in the household of Gideon Dyer Cobb Jr., his mother's brother.13,14
     Henry married Martha E. Pickering, daughter of William C. Pickering and Pernecy Pickering, in Jul 1872 in Crittenden Co., Kentucky. There is room for doubt as to whether they were actually married, because the marriage register entry from them was left uncompleted, and because she appears in the 1880 census with her mother under her maiden name marked as single. However the same census record includes young James and Henry Clark, listed as her mother's grandchildren so it appears they did have children together.9,10,11
     He was a carpenter.3
     Henry died on 4 Jun 1875 in Crittenden Co., Kentucky, from a wound.3
