Census |
1800 |
Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY [6] |
- A Wm. Clark was found in the Town of Brookhaven in the 1800 census, however I cannot say with certainty that he is living in the hamlets of Fire Place, South Haven or environs, and I'm inclined to say that he is not. He is, however, the only William Clark enumerated in Suffolk County, NY. His son's obituary indicated that he was born in Middle Island, and removed to Fire Place at an early age; so I'm inclined to believe that the location of the 1800 census is Middle Island.
In his household were one male under ten years of age (?), one male 16-25 (could be William), one female under ten years of age (?), one female 16-25 (could be his wife Mary), and one slave.

Census |

- William Clark was not found in the 1810 census index within Suffolk County. A review of the enumeration record for Fire Place/South Haven, NY, including the region that included his neighbors in 1820, did not find his name.

Census |

Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY [7] |
- There were seven persons in his household: one male under age ten, one ten to 16 (likely David Mills Clark), one male 26-45 (likely William), one female 10-16 (perhaps Julia), two females 16-26 (likely Cornelia and Hannah Maria), and one female 16-45 (likely William'e wife Mary). They were likely living on South Country Road in Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), NY on South Country Road in the region west of Beaver Dam Road.

Census |
1830 |
Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY [8] |
- In 1830, fourteen people were enumerated in the household: one male under five years of age, one male 10-15, one male 15-20, one male 20-30 (likely David Mills Clark), one male 30-40, one male 50-60 (likely William), one female 5-10, one female 15-20 (likely Julia), two females 20-30 (one of which was likely Hannah Maria), two females 30-40 (one of whom was like Cornelia), one female 40-50 (likely his wife Mary), and one female 50-60. There is little doubt that the family was living in Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), NY, perhaps on South Country Road in the region between Beaver Dam Road and modern village of Bellport.

Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY [9] |
- In his household were one male 30-40 (likely son David Mills Clark), one male 60-70 (likely William), one female 30-40 (likely daughter Hannah Maria Clark), and one female 60-70 (likely his wife Mary). Based on other nearby names, he was no doubt living in Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), NY, perhaps on South Country Road, but certainly in the region of the intersection of South Country and Beaver Dam Roads.

Notes |
- A Wm Clark was found in the 1800 census for the Town of Brookhaven, but I cannot place the family with certainty in either Fire Place , South Haven, or environs. It is, however, the only William Clark enumerated in Suffolk County. In his household were one male under ten years of age, and one male 26-44 (could be William), one female under ten years of age, and one female 16-25.
