1840- Matthew
Clark writes his will in Anderson Co., S. C. declaring that a
plot of land be set aside for the Asbury Clarke Cemetery where
he is apparently buried.
December 15th, 1840.
"I give and bequeath unto my beloved Daughter Martha Jane one half of my claim
to the plantation whereon I now live, also two thirds of my plantation on waters
of the twenty three Mile Creek, except one acre which I give and bequeath unto
John Barret whereon the Methodist Church Stands and one fourth of an acre for
each grave yard for the use of the Methodist denomination of Christians forever
adjoining land of J. B. Earle, D. J. Morris and others...."

From the "Diary of Micajah Adolphus Clark's visit to South Carolina in
1857"
"....on July 22 I went down to Anderson and took dinner with Uncle Edmond Webb
and at 4 p.m. started for Centerville neighborhood, ten miles; passed by where
Grandfather Matthew Clark died and where I boarded in 1840 and 1841.... Then
went over to Wm. Bolt's, who married Martha Clark, a young aunt of mine, who
lived at my grandfather's old place near Centerville, where I took dinner.
Found Wm. Bolt to be a nice young man. His wife is a very sprightly,
intelligent and lively business woman. They have two children, named Mary Jane
Elizabeth and Hannah Ann Matilda. The old place looked quite ancient, yet
familiar; the same house in which my grandfather lived when I was born. A short
time after I got there old Grandmother (at least Grandfather's last and third
wife) came in. She was much delighted to see me. In a few minutes more my
other Aunt who had been sent for came in, who married Abraham Bolt and lived 1/2
mile from there. I found her to be a beautiful, interesting young woman; had
been married about six months. I enjoyed their company very much. About 2
o'clock I left them and went up to the old Asbury Church where I was first
taught to go to church. There my grandfather and grandmother lie entombed. I
got off my steed and walked around the graves and then took a seat and gave way
to sad reflections. I thought of the thousand of times I have seen them and
been at their house, of the many religious and moral examples they had taught
their children and through them have handed down to their grandchildren; and I
felt grateful to them for the good examples given me in my youth. These
passages of scripture occurred to my mind: "They rest from their labors and
their works do follow them." ...........

0n the same page in Mississippi are both WW
Clyde and James Clark. I believe James may be the
brother of Teresa. James is 40-50 years old along with
his possible mother. Teresa should be 20-30 years
old.
