According to VT town records, Salomia CLARK was born to Silas CLARK & Nancy Jan 31, 1803 in Winhall, Bennington Co. NY. I'm trying to find information on Silas CLARK, where he was born, his parents & siblings. I'm guessing that Silas was born around 1770 +/-10 years and that the family moved to NY sometime after Salome was born.

Salomia/Saloma/Salome CLARK married 1. Hiram POLLEY/POLLY in NY, possibly Oneida, Cayuga or Cortland Co. Three children are known; Henry S. POLLEY b. 1834 Victory, Cayuga Co. NY; Silas H. POLLEY b. Oct 31, 1837 Cortland Co. and Nancy Rosanna POLLEY b. 1836.

Hiram POLLEY died sometime before 1850 when Salome is listed as married to Alanson Larabee in Cortland Co. NY. Salome died in 1870. She was a resident of the Cortland Co. Poorhouse since at least 1860.

Any information on this Silas CLARK family would be appreciated. I've looked at many Silas Clarks and have not been able to identify the correct one.

Thanks,
