Clark Branch Bridge
Posted January 17, 2011, by John Henry Clark (rabbitdogjc [at] yahoo [dot] com)

Clarks Branch was named after my great great grandfather Henry Clark. He was the first white man to settle in Chariton county. I am searching my family tree.He settled at Clarks Branch in 1820.If anyone has any literature regarding this matter I would very much apreciate it.Thank you very much.PS;I am son of Everett whom is son of Henry whom is son of Enoch whom is son of Henry Clark settler.Enoch was from Guthrige Mill.
