Elias married Irene Ferguson before 1864. Irene was born about 1847 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 26 Oct 1868 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Shown on the THACKER FAMILY TREE on Ancestry.com as born ca 1847 in Sabine County and as dying on 26 Oct 1868 in Sabine County. John W. Clark, the author, shows the same dates. It would appear that Irene in childbirth, her youngest son James Felix Clark being born that same day.

At the time of the 1910 census, Elias's second wife, Mary Josephine Wallace, was shown as being the mother of 11 children, 10 still living. It therefore appears that Irene would have been the mother of the three children living with Elias and Mary Josephine at the time of the 1870 census.

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.
