Clark, Davis, Lovell
Dianna Hokanson Mon Jan 5 13:41:05 1998
Looking for information on "Red" Clark who used to "ride the range" in the Panhandle of Texas and possibly owned land there at one time. He married Nancy Davis and had two children Elbert b Abt 1885 and Estella Mae b Abt 1889. Red and Nancy both died suddenly while travelling through Van Zandt Co/Kaufman Co Texas in 1890. Nancy Davis Clark had previously been married to Unknown Lovell and had Ada, Emma or Amma, John, Joe, and George Lovell. Lovell relatives took in these children but no relatives of Clark or Davis found so Elbert and Estella Mae raised by unrelated families. "Red" Clark was a big, burly, red-headed man with military bearing, covered with knife scars. Nancy Davis may have been of Indian ancestry. They may have travelled from New Mexico just prior to their deaths. A little more info may be found at http://www.pearland.com/hokanson/clark.htm
