Thomas Clark

1816 - 1896  (80 years)

• Name	Thomas Clark
  Birth	4 Nov 1816	Knoxville, Knox Co, Tennessee
  Gender	Male
  Death	Dec 1896	Eugene, Lane Co, Oregon
  Notes	Thomas and Ann (Davidson) Clark. In the spring of 1853, the father started across the plains with his family in an ox train from Carroll county, Indiana. They made the trip successfully, but the last six weeks they had to live on the flesh of the oxen they killed, without even the luxury of salt. Fresh meat with water for six weeks is not so pleasant as might be imagined. They came through the Harney valley and settled in Lane county, near Eugene. The remaining oxen ate poison weeds in the valley and all died. The father took a donation claim, and, being a miller, wrought at his trade in Eugene as well as handled his farm. He died in Eugene in December, 1896, and the mother died in 1899
