Mother told of the Moffitts that lived on the hill above our farm at Hebron. The road was towards Clara and called Niger Hill while I was growing up. They were very nice people according to Mom and told about the Underground Railroad!

Yes! The newer maps have changed to Carley Hill Road! Mildred Carley taught school so her husband (Harry) plowed the road in the winter with his tractor so she could drive to school!

Hi Kaye, neighbor! Stories of the underground railroad in our little neighborhood abound. Our farm was a station of the underground railroad. They hid slaves in the cellar and in the false attic of our old farmhouse that Tom references. To this very day the title deed of our farm lists the hill behind our barn at "Nigger Hill". I own a book that I discovered many years ago that described various locations throughout the country with socially inappropriate names. The hill behind our barn is included in that book. In the back 40 of our farm near our border with Harry Carley's farm was the old foundation of a cabin where a runaway slay lived who decided to stay rather than continuing on to Canada.

It is now Mofitt Hill, which was Nigger Hill, it is on the Clara Rd side. So is you come up Clara from Rt 44 go straight. If you turn right at the intersection that would take you to Clara Hill.

After Nelson Clark's father died in his home two miles north of Coudersport in 1829, Nelson and his wife Mary Barrows Clark moved into that house along with his younger brother, Daniel Clark Jr. That property, commonly called "Hemphill's Corner" was bordered on the south by property owned by John Mann. Being members of the Crandall Hill Seventh Day Baptists church, he was a prohibitionist strongly against slavery. The location of his house can be seen in warrant 2071 on this 1895 landowner map. Perhaps the Underground Railroad ran over the hill from his house into Hebron, which borders on the west side of his property.

On this map, on the northern border of Nelson Clark's property is "B.G. Clark". That's Nelson's son, Birney Grow Clark. Nelson's mother was Experience "Speedy" Grow. After Nelson died, Birney inherited the property and later subdivided it. Barton Matteson purchased some of it and his daughter married Harold A Jones, which is how the Jones family came to be living there. On the far left is "D. Clark", which is Daniel Clark, half brother of Nelson Clark. His mother was Lucy Bennett. Both Daniel and Nelson had the same father and different mothers, Nelson's, Experience "Speedy" Grow and Daniel Jr, Lucy Bennett. Here are two pictures of Nelson Clark and his wife, Mary Ann Barrows.

With regards to Potter genealogy, I know of no descendants of Nelson Clark living in Potter County, but I know of several descendants of his half brother, Daniel Clark Jr. Daniel Clark Jr married Sarah Louisa Hall and through his daughter Sarah Adelia Clark, who married Joel P Randall, we have Potter county residents, Paul Lewis Snyder and Arthur "Art" Eugene Metzger. Also, through Daniel Clark Jr's son Porter Hall Clark's daughters, Carrie and Grace we had recent residents, Brenda Kenealy Williams and Elaine VanWegen Butler. And through Porter Hall Clark's son, Ned Porter Clark we have resident, Sally Von Nieda Metzger, Ned's granddaughter, and Ned's great grandchildren, Marty Metzger Maiuro and Bret Metzger and we also have great great grandchildren of Ned Clark, Jenna Maiuro Gurney, and Troy Stimaker, whose children are 3rd great grandchildren of Ned Porter Clark and 5th great grandchildren of Daniel Clark Jr.

Ned Porter Clark Was once the Sheriff of Potter County, plus the owner of Clark's Meat Market. The "Clark" name can still be seen on the step in front of the store front now used by Zito Media. He also owned a few other buildings in Coudersport, the current "Cream And Sugar" building and the "Always In Bloom" building.

This horse hitch stone was implanted into the ground next to the house that Nelson Clark's father, Daniel, built. It was rescued by Lori Hemphill Watson on the day excavators were plowing down the remains of the burned, Fred Peno, house. Next to it was the step up stone used to board a carriage.

This is the step up stone that was near the house built by Daniel Clark. It may have been Daniel's or, if not, certainly it was Nelson Clark's stone.

The unmarked gravesite of Nelson Clark's father, Daniel Clark, is on the hillside overlooking the site of the house he built. The stone foundation of that house remains, near to the small stream that runs down from the Clark/Thomas camp. The gravesite is about 15feet beyond an ancient apple tree. Clark Thomas, a descendant of Daniel Clark, marked the site last May.
