Henry CLARK b. 1805 Barren Co, KY; m. 1823 Barren Co, KY; d. 1887 Menard Co, IL
The History of Menard and MasonCounties, 1879, Pg 284-5
During the next two or three years, the little community was
increased by the arrival of several additional families, among which were:
Jesse Baker, Henry and William Clark, ..., and perhaps others.
Henry and William Clark, brothers, came from Kentucky and settled in this precinct.
William died many years ago, but Henry is still living upon the place
of his original settlement, just across the river from Petersburg.
He and his wife have lived together for fifty-six years.
BIOGRAHICAL SKETCHES, Pg 693
Henry Clark, farmer, P.O. Petersburg; among those who came to Menard Co.
in an early day, none is more prominently known than the above gentleman,
who experienced the trials and hadships of a pioneer life; he was born
in Barren Co. Ky., in December, 1805, where he was raised and began doing
for himself. He married Miss Mary Slinker April 21, 1823, and, in 1826 came
to Illinois, locating where he now resides, and which has been his home for
over fifty-three years; he has always manifested an interest in all matters
pertaining to the good of the community, particularly in church and school
affairs; he has accumulated a good property and raised a family of seven
children. Mr. and Mrs. Clark have lived happily together as man and wife
for upward of fifty-six years, and now live to see the usefulness and
prosperity of their children.
Henry Clark had extensive land holding and was a prominent person in
Menard County, Illinois. He acquired land there as early as 31 Oct 1828
when he bought 80 acres in Twp. 18, R.6 east of Petersburg.
He served in the Black Hawk War.
Grew wheat on the site where Petersburg is now and is said to have
cradled 10 acres in one day with the help of two men. (Lucille Kirby)
Henry Clark was acquainted more than casually with Abraham Lincoln
who resided at Salem (near Petersburg) ...
PIONEERS of MENARD and MASON COUNTIES by T.G.Onstot, 1902, Pages 95-96
Then Abe and Slickey sat down for a long talk, in which Lincloln
recited the perilous condition of the country. Lincoln asked about all
the principal men in Menard country, and if they were standing by him.
Bill told him they were. Abe then asked how Henry Clark stood.
Bill told him that he was sorry to inform him that Clark was not for him.
After a few moments reflecion Lincoln said: "When you go home you see
Clark and tell him that I once stood by him in an early encounter,
and now I want him to stand by me in this terrible time."
When Green came home he saw Clark, and told him what Lincoln had said,
and afterwards Abe had no surer friend in Menard County then Henry Clark.
