Paschal married Elizabeth "Betty" C. Wallace in 1867 in Sabine County, Texas. Elizabeth (daughter of Thompson "Finn" Wallace and Mary Etta "Polly" Vardeman) was born between 1846 and 1848 in Mississippi; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At the time of the 1880 census, Elizabeth and Pascal Clark were living next door to her mother, Mary (Vardeman) and step-father, Henry White.

Notes:

According to 1850 CENSUS SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS WITH ADDED FAMILY INFORMATION AND CORRECTIONS by Helen Gomer Schluter and Blanche Finley Toole, Elijah Clark was the son of William Clark and Elizabeth Isaacks. Elizabeth would only have been about 14 when he was born, so it could be that William Clark had been previously married.

Elijah was married twice. His first wife is unknown, and his second wife was Jane Lagrone.

In a commerative ceremony dated 2 Jun 2001, a marker reading "Texas Revolutionary War-Sabine Volunteers-Captain Collins Company-Defenders of the Republic of Texas Marker" was installed for him in Griffin Cemetery in Sabine County.

Trudy Cox also shows they were the parents of Grison and Ann, though these children can not be found on either the 1850 or 1860 census. Perhaps they died young?

Notes:

(Research):In looking for the first husband of Mary Etta VARDEMAN, I was found the following family that was a near perfect match. The names, ages and birthplaces for Maretta, Elizabeth and Sophia match their later census listings in Sabine County, Texas. I looked at every WALLACE and WALLIS family that was indexed in Mississippi in 1850 by Ancestry.com. They were in Lawrence County, Mississippi, which is located in the southwestern portion of the state, nearby to Pike and Amite counties.

1850 Federal Census Mississippi, Lawrence County:

29-29
Wallis, Thomson 32 M W Farmer $50 Miss
Wallis, Maretta 29 F W Miss
Wallis, Elizabeth 3 F W Miss
Wallis, Sophia 1 F W Miss

I am assuming this is the correct family for the time being. More information should be gathered to either prove or disprove this assumption.

Other Wallis's in Lawrence County in 1850 include:
30-30
Wallis, James A 27 M W Farmer Miss
Wallis, Nancy W 18 F W Miss
Wallis, Sarah M 1 F W Miss

32-32
Wallis, Thomson Sr.62 M W Farmer 350 So Car
Wallis, C?ary 62 F W Ga
Wallis, Clementina 22 F W Miss
Wallis, Martin 21 M W Miss
Collins, Centhia 18 F W La?

Thompson married Mary Etta "Polly" Vardeman before 1845. Mary (daughter of Amaziah Vardeman and Una (Eunice) Carter) was born on 22 Sep 1820 in Mississippi; died on 9 Nov 1898 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According the 1854 Sabine County Scholastic census, Mrs. Wallice had one daughter, Mary, enrolled in school.

Notes:

Married:
"Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records" lists Mary Etta Vardeman's first husband as Wallis "Finn" Wallace. They do not provide any documentation for this, however.

I believe Mary Etta's first husband was actually Thomson Wallace, and they can be located in Lawrence County, Mississippi at the time of the 1850 census. On that census, Thomson and Maretta Wallis were listed in the same household with a 3 year old Elizabeth and 1 year old Sophia.

Thompson apparently died prior to 1860, because at the time of that census, Mary Etta was married to Henry Strickland White, and living with him in Sabine County, Texas. Her children from her first marriage were listed as follows: Elizabeth Wallis, age 14, Mississippi; Joseph Wallis, age 12, Mississippi; and Josephine Wallis, age 9, Mississippi. Note that Joseph was not listed in 1850, nor is a Sophia listed in 1860. I believe the 1860 census may have been in error, and that Mary Etta and Thomson were the parents of only three children: Elizabeth, Sophia and Josephine. Josephine was probably born soon after the 1850 census. Maybe the census taker confused the names Sophia and Joseph. Or, perhaps they did have a son named Joseph as well.

In 1870, only 20 year old Josephine Wallace, listed as born in Texas, was still shown as living with her mother. But according to other records, a Josephine Wallace was already married to Elias Clark and living with him. I suspect it was actually Sophia Wallace who was still living at home with her mother in 1870. This suspicion can be confirmed by the fact that in 1880, 30 year old Sophie Wallace, born in Mississippi was the only child from her mother's first marriage that was listed in her mother's home. Sophia was married in 1890.
