Journal Entry 1997/07/28

At the end of the day, I think I found Stephen's wife. In the MD State Papers an Ann Clarke signs receipts to payments for Stephen Clarke (I hadn't noticed before because I entered Stephen Clark previosuly and not Clarke). I remembered running across an Ann Clark who ran a boarding house in Baltimore because Stephen Clark resided in her dwelling house. An Ann Clark is buried in St. Paul's Church in Baltimore in 1820 at the age of 62. This would make her about 2 years older than Isabella. Becaue her husband was still alive when she died their is no probate.

The references for Ann Clark are in

St Paul's Parish by the Reamy's and

The Baltimore City Directory 1816.
