I am looking for information about John Wesley Clark who married Harriet Hale(hall) in 1871. They lived in Cherokee county Kansas. They had at least one son, Newton Francis Clark (Frank) who was born in Cherokee county in 1872. He later moved to Illinois and married Lottie Smith.

Little is known about Frank's parents. Family stories say that his father killed a man and ran from the state. Harriet supposedly died when Frank was a small boy. It is believed that Frank was raised by a preacher as an orphan.

I would really like to find more information about this side of the family. Both John and Frank may have been teamsters.
