In his obituary in the Ithaca Journal, it said "About 21 years ago, (probably 1848) Sister (wife - Judith Hathaway) Clark died, leaving him a lonely pilgrim. The loss to him was great, but sinking to the will of God, he toiled on to wait his turn."
According to his tombstone in Caroline Center, NY, Calvin Sr. died Nov.12, 1869 at age 85 yrs. 5 months. This would put his birth at June 1784.
According to the State of New York, County of Tompkins Surrogate Court, the remaining blood relatives at the time of his death were the following: Henry Clark, Richard H. Clark, Calvin Patch, (Harriet) Albertine (Patch) Sanders (Saunders), Charley Patch, Harlen Patch, Delphine (Clark) Olmstead, Anna Clark, Robert C.

Chapter XV - The Town of Caroline
CAROLINE CENTER.--This hamlet is situated near the center of the town, which fact gives it its name. It was in that vicinity that the pioneers Augustin and Hugh BOYER, William JACKSON, Calvin CLARK, Jonathan SNOW, James LIVERMORE, Alexander STOWELL, John TAFT, Abel GATES, Ezekiel JEWETT, John GROUT, Joel RICH (brother of Capt. David RICH), Jeremiah KINNEY, Israel PAINE, and others settled and lived; many of them have descendants still living in the town and county.
Speedsville Lodge, No. 265, F. & A. M., was instituted June 11, 1851, and worked under a dispensation until June 19, 1852, when its charter was issued and thirteen members enrolled. The first W. M. was Robert H. S. HYDE; S. W., Thomas Band; J. W., Lyman KINGMAN; secretary, Leonard LEGG; treasurer, Robert E. MUIR. The present chief officers are: Nelson SLATER,W. M.; R. F.A BBEY, S. W.; G. H. NIXON, J. W.; S. H. BOYER, treasurer; H.S. AKINS, secretary; W. L. KEENY , S. D; J. I. FORD, J. D.; A. BOSTWICK, chaplain; Collins CARTRIGHT, S. M. C.; F. M. BAKER, J . M. C.; C. A.CLARK, marshal; Mildan MEAD, tyler.Calvin married Judith Hathaway about 1806. Judith (daughter of (Possible Husband) Isaac Hathaway and (Possible Wife) Judith Hoar) was born on 3 Jan 1786 in Middleboro, Plymouth Co, Massachusetts, USA; died on 28 Jun 1848 in Caroline Center, Tompkins Co, New York, USA; was buried in Caroline Center, Tompkins Co, New York, USA (Caroline Center Cemetery).

Notes:
[[
The LDS Ancestral File shows the husband of Judith Hathaway to be Mason Clark, whereas other sources show her spouse as ___?__ Clark. The first son of Calvin Clark and (my) Judith Hathaway was Mason Clark. In the absence of other evidence, and for the following reasons, I surmise that Judith Hathaway, daughter of Isaac Hathaway and Judith Hoar, was the wife of Calvin Clark. 1) Judith was an uncommon name in that era, 2) several references, including a book entitled "Genealogy of Jones, Hathaway, Richards, Gooding" show that Judith, the daughter of Isaac H athaway of Middleboro, MA, married a man with the last name of Clark (granted, Clark is a fairly common name, but the combination of Judith and a differet man named Clark would be quite a coincidence), 3) this Judith Hathaway was born a year and a half after Calvin Clark, making the timing appropriate for marriage, and 4) one reference gives the first name of her husband as Mason, a mistake that could easily occur when Calvin's and Judith's first son's name was Mason, and given that Calvin and Judith lived hundreds of miles west of Bristol County, MA , where family records were kept. Clearly, the nagging question with this theory is how Calvin and Judith met when they apparently were born and raised so far apart. However, we don't know where Calvin was born (his father was born in western Massachusetts), only that he spent a considerable amount of his life in Lisle, Tioga County, NY and the surrounding area. This was an era when many people from Massachusetts emigrated to Central New York State. I haven't had any luck finding Hathaway families in Tioga County, NY or surrounding counties, but that's not to say that there weren't some there in the first decade of the 1800s.Children:
- Julia Maria Clark was born on 14 Apr 1808 in Owego, Tioga, New York, USA; died on 14 Apr 1871 in Towanda, Bradford Co, Pennsylvania, USA.
- Rev. Richard Holton Clark was born about 1826 in New York, USA; died on 22 Mar 1894.
- 2. Mason Clark was born on 8 Jan 1813 in New York, USA; died on 18 Feb 1884 in Caroline Center, Tompkins Co, New York, USA; was buried in Caroline Center, Tompkins Co, New York, USA (Caroline Center Cemetery).
- Calvin Clark, Jr. was born on 21 Oct 1814 in Marathon, Lapeer Twp, Cortland Co, New York, USA; died on 15 Sep 1864 in Caroline Center, Tompkins Co, New York, USA; was buried in Caroline Center, Tompkins Co, New York, USA (Caroline Center Cemetery).
