Father*Robert Clarke2 b. bt 1756 - 1774, d. b 1810
Mother*Hannah Halbeck2
(Daughter) Research NotesWhile we feel fairly confident that these CLARKE people are related, we are not at all certain we have identified their relationships correctly. If anyone has answers for us, we would really love to know. In the meantime, here is what we know and what, additionally, we guess: We know that Hannah (Halbeck) Clarke was the mother of Phoebe (Clarke) Heaton. We suspect that Hannah was married to Robert Clarke and that he was Phoebe's father. We further suspect that the older John Clarke may have been Robert's brother or father, and that the younger John Clarke and James Clarke were sons of either Robert or John.3,4,5,6,7 
Birth*1778Phoebe Clark was born in 1778.1 
Name-SpellingsPhoebe's family's surname was spelled Clarke until after her marriage.5,4 
Census US 1800*1800Phoebe was possibly enumerated on the 1800 census in the household of her husband Washington Heaton in East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. The household consisted of three people: one male age 16 thru 25, whom we believe was Washington, one female age 16 thru 25, possibly his wife Phoebe, and one female under 10. We note that other researchers have reported that 1802 was the year of Washington's marriage to Phoebe, so this may be a first wife and child, or a learning that Washington and Phoebe married before the census was taken in 1800.8 
Marriage*1802She married Washington Heaton, son of John Heaton and Rebecca __?__, in 1802 in Washington County, Pennsylvania.1 
Census US 1810*1810Phoebe was likely enumerated on the 1810 census in the household of her husband Washington Heaton in Pike Run, Washington County, Pennsylvania. The household had grown to a total of 8 people in 1810 and consisted of one male and one female each age 26 thru 44, whom we believe to be Washington and Phoebe, one female age 16 thru 25, one female age 10 thru 15 and four females under 10.9 
Relocation*1818Phoebe and Washington moved with their family in 1818 to a farm near Borden, Clark County, Indiana.2 
Census US 1820*1820Phoebe was likely enumerated on the 1820 census in the household of her husband Washington Heaton in Washington County, Indiana. The household consisted of 10 people: one male age 45 and over and one female age 26 thru 44, who were probably Washington and his wife Phoebe, one male age 26 thru 44, four females age 10 thru 15, 2 females under 10 and one male under 10. Two people were engaged in agriculture.10 
Death*1823She died in 1823 near Borden, Clark County, Indiana.11

Marriage Settlement*2 June 1752A memorial of certain articles of marriage dated 2 June 1752 was made between Andrew Bell of Aghacreevy, County Cavan, gentleman and Andrew Bell, his son and heir apparent, of the one part, Ann Clarke of Putiaghan, spinster, of the other part and Walter Hinds of Corrakane of the third part, all in the county of Cavan concerning a marriage to be had between Andrew Bell, the son of Andrew, and Ann Clarke. In consideration of £177, 16 shillings and 3 pence secured to be paid by Walter Hinds, Andrew Bell the father assigned and made over unto Andrew Bell his son all his right, title and interest in and to the lands of Aghacreevy, he paying unto his father during his life and also during the life of his mother Lettice £14 yearly to commence from the first day of May next. Then Andrew, the father, for the considerations mentioned, assigned and made over to Andrew, his son, all his right, title and interest in and to the lands of Ballyheelan and after his death to the male heirs of Andrew lawfully begotten on the body of Ann. And it was thereby agreed that in case Ann should survive Andrew, she should enjoy one third full parts of all lands and chattels as a jointure, and in case that Andrew the son should not have any male issue, then the lands of Aghacreevy should be left to Robert Bell, the father Andrew's son, and Robert's male issue. And in case Robert should not have any male issue, then to the female issue of Andrew Bell, the son. The agreement also gave Andrew, the son, the power to settle a proper provision for his female issue. Witnesses to the document included Thomas Hinds, Samuel Stephens, Walter Bell and Samuel Donaldson, all members of the Hinds-Clarke-Bell extended family. The memorial deed was registered on 31 March 1756.2

(Son) Research NotesWhile we feel fairly confident that these CLARKE people are related, we are not at all certain we have identified their relationships correctly. If anyone has answers for us, we would really love to know. In the meantime, here is what we know and what, additionally, we guess: We know that Hannah (Halbeck) Clarke was the mother of Phoebe (Clarke) Heaton. We suspect that Hannah was married to Robert Clarke and that he was Phoebe's father. We further suspect that the older John Clarke may have been Robert's brother or father, and that the younger John Clarke and James Clarke were sons of either Robert or John.2,3,4,1,5

We further suspect that the older John Clarke may have been Robert's brother or father, and that the younger John Clarke and James Clarke were sons of either Robert or John.1,2,3,4,5 
Birth*before 1755John Clarke was probably born before 1755.1 
(Neighbor) Research Notes1800To answer our questions about Washington Heaton, we needed to begin in Washington County, Pennsylvania because the earliest record we found for him was there on the 1800 census. Enumeration of Heads of Households on the census that year, for each county, was taken by location within the county, so we were able to see more specifically where the various Heaton families lived and their proximity to each other. Eight Heaton heads of household were enumerated that year in Washington County and five, including Washington, were in East Bethlehem: Washington Heaton, Henry Heaton, John Heaton Sr., John Heaton Jr. and James Heaton. The remaining three Heaton families each lived in separate places: Myles Haidan, who had been enumerated as Miles HEATON in 1790, was in West Bethlehem, John Heaton was in Morris Township, and Thomas Heaton was in Somerset. Our challenge, as we identified it, was to find out who each of these people were in the hopes of finding a connection to Washington or, even better, a father or brother. At the very least we needed one or more clues to pursue. It was wonderful when we discovered that Thomas Heaton of Somerset turned out to hold the ultimate clue we'd been looking for.

Robert Clarke, John Clarke and John Clarke, whom we suspected might turn out to be related to Washington's wife Phoebe, were also enumerated in 1800 in East Bethlehem. John's household consisted of 9 people, 1 free white male aged 45 and over, 1 free white female aged 26 thru 44, 1 free white male aged 16 thru 25, 1 free white female aged 16 thru 25, 3 free white females aged 10 to 15, and 2 free white females under age 10.6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,2,1 
Census US 1800*1800John Clarke appeared on the census taken in 1800 in East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. His household consisted of nine people: one male age 45 and over, whom we believe was John, one female age 26 thru 44, probably his wife, one male age 16 thru 25, one female age 16 thru 25, three females age 10 thru 15 and two females under 10. Robert Clarke and a younger John Clarke were also enumerated in East Bethlehem in 1800. As we continue our research to identify Washington Heaton's and Phoebe (Clark) Heaton's parentage and extended families, we are working to determine what relationships existed between the other 1800 East Bethlehem Heaton and Clark(e) families.1 
Census US 1810*1810John Clarke appeared on the census taken in 1810 in East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. His household consisted of 3 people, 1 free white male aged 45 and over, 1 free white female aged 45 and over, and 1 free white female aged 16 thru 25.14

(Daughter 1) Estate and LandHer father's will began with his direction to be interred in the Churchyard of Kilmore. He then directed that his estate, which he described as his substance and chattel, real and personal, shall be put in trust and named John Bell of Creevy, Andrew Bell and Richard Bell as trustees. His will identified the contents of the trust to be as follows: His title to the towns and lands of Cornadowagh in County Longford, Drumheel, Drumhart, Drumlion, Drumnalaragh, Drummury, Newtown, Killycreeny, Urney, Cornaseer, Aghaconny with the mill thereon, the part of Croaghan called "Shrainacoshi", "Brockahusna", and the oak wood called Shanna Wood all in County Cavan in trust.
