Stephen Clark

Beginning in 1812, a Stephen Clark appears in Baltimore City at lottery exchange and stationary store between Baltimore and Calvert Streets.

I believe this is Joseph Clark's brother for several reasons.

1. This was Stephen Clark's occupation in Annapolis

2. In 1806, Stephen files a petition for bankruptcy in Annapolis

3. He no longer appears in Census in AA after 1810

4. In 1820 a Stephen Clark is listed in Baltimore City

5. The family in this census is comprised of:

1 FW male between 16-18

1 FW male between 16-26

1 FW male 45 and up (presumably SC)

1 FW female 16-26 (either a daughter or a second wife) After recent findings I would suggest a daughter because a woman I believe to be Clark's wife (Ann Clark died in 1820 and thus wouldn;t be included in the count See Journal Entry for July 28, 1997 for futher explanation)

1 PERSON engaged in commerce

1 Slave male under 14 (Presumably Henry)

1 slave female 16-26 (presumably Sarah ...see St. Paul's Church Records by the Reamys for 1811 baptism of Henry son of Sarah (slave of Stephen Clark)

1 slave female 22-45

6. This Stephen Clark stops appearing in the BC Directories in 1824.

Presumably he dies and his son/relative John Clark resumes his business at the same location.
