<DIV><SPAN class=726340405-10102005><FONT color=#000000>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Suzanne,</DIV>
<DIV> 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. </DIV>
