James married Sarah Wilson, sold his land to Jacob Beem and took up his residence in Delaware County, where he died.  John Clark came to Ohio in 1816 and settled first in Miami County.  He remained there until 1824, when he removed to, Delaware County.  Four years afterward he purchased from one of his brothers a small place two and a half miles east of Richwood and settled there.  He died in Delaware County, in 1850, aged seventy-seven years.
