Three children, Hannah, Margaret and David Ward, were born in Kentucky before, following his brother, they moved to Miami County, Ohio, where six more children were born: Daniel Isgrig, Phoebe, Nancy, Isaac, Sarah Winans and Mary French. Nancy died before they left Ohio, again following his brother, in 1838.
In 1838 they settled on son Daniel's land in Yankeetown, Laenna Township, Logan County, Illinois.
John died on March 5, 1859, and is buried in Laenna Cemetery. See Graveyards of South Logan County for his stone and military service.
This picture is reputed to be the adult children [except for Phoebe] of John Winans and Ann "Nancy" Isgrig Clark. Since Hannah died in 1866 then it is a very old picture, taken no later than early October 1866. Or perhaps it is not Hannah but Phoebe and it was taken when their mother died -- all are wearing black. Ann died December 8, 1867, and Margaret died two weeks later so the time frame is small but possible.
John Winans Clark was a great grandfather of Lida.

Thank you for this information. My wife is a descendent of Mary French Clark. She married Marquis Caudy from Virginia. Every time I find something like this with a picture it makes the research all the more worth it! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this posting and the photo. I am a direct descendent of John Winans Clark.
I am also a direct descendant of John Winans Clark through his daughter Margaret.
