yr                        Thomas        Father        Mother
1870(Thomas B.)    IN                Ohio            Ohio
1880 (E.B.)           IL                PA                IN
1900  (Thomas B)  IL                IN                Ohio
1910  (Thomas B)  IN                PA              Ohio
1920  (Thomas B)  IN                Ohio            Ohio

I know for a fact that the name on the census from 1880 thru 1920 is the
same person, but I cannot account for the reason why the parent's
information would be different from year to year.  I fully believe that the
Thomas Benton in the 1870 census is the same Thomas in the other Dayton,
Yamhill, Oregon census records.  Thomas and Matilda were married in 1876 in
Dayton, Yamhill, Oregon.  The marriage certificate shows that Thomas was
from Washington county, Nebraska.  The 1870 census shows him living in
Grant, Washington, Nebraska.

Thanks for your help.

  Hi Suzanne,
      I have found your search for Thomas Benton Clark all over. I think you
have two different men. Thomas in 1870 was born in IN as were his siblings.
The E.B Clark in the 1880 OR census was born in IL. his father in PA and
mother in IN. In the 1870 census Ames was born in OH as was Eliz. The censu
takers did make mistakes but not that many.
