Death of a father	Lewis CLARKSTON December 1868 (Age 16 years) Ozark County MO Note: Date is from Ozark County MO probate records (FHL film 929574). For more details, see the NOTES sec… Date is from Ozark County MO probate records (FHL film 929574). For more details, see the NOTES section for The TURNBO CHRONICLES version of the burial of Lewis and his son James Clarks(t)on. Lewis' estate was probated and the record lists all of the surviving children(heirs) of Lewis Clarkson by age in 1869. The record shows that Lewis died before his son Thomas was murdered. The probate records and the census of 1870 hint, but do not state, that Lewis Clarkston had a third wife, or at least. a third family. There are two young Clarkston heirs, Charlota 5 and John 2, who are probably not children of Lewis' second wife Sarah as she was likely dead by 1869 since she is not mentioned in the estate. There is a younger woman, Lucy Clarkston, who is not identified as a family member but who was present during the sale of the estate. This woman, Lucy Clarkston, appears to be the mother of said Charlotte and John according to the 1870 census of Washington, Webster Co, MO.
