Census
Since "little Sammy" did not become a head-of-household until 1882, and died before 1890, he does not appear as a head of household in any census.

1885 tax lists of Rowan Co. lists on p. 8:
Clarke, Saml Jr., 60 acres, neighbor John Black, 1 male over 21, no children 6-20. (People in other categories are not enumerated. The "Jr." is to distinguish this Samuel from his uncle Samuel F. Clark.)

(See Notes for Susie's second husband, William Paul Dehart, for the 1900 census reading which includes the children of this Samuel Clark.)
Notes for Mary Susan ("Susie") Jones
Joint stone in Black-Trent Cemetery on Trent Ridge says "Susie Dehart May 3, 1866 - Oct 23, 1930 : W. P. Dehart Jan 14, 1854 - May 25, 1922".

Index to Kentucky Death Records lists Mary S. Dehart, d. 22 Oct 1930, age 64, in Rowan Co., certificate Vol. 58, #28607.
