  • On the company roster her family's surname is misspelled as "Dougle." Also, her first name is written as "Sary." She was a widow traveling with her three sons. Her little family traveled very closely with another widow and her daughter, Mary Clark (senior) and Mary Clark (junior).

    This company journal indicates that the Clark and "Dougle" widows received assistance in the form of flour. On 23 September both of the widows left the company without permission. The last mention of them is "...in this we have been disappointed and they have left us not in A very good fix." It is unclear if the families left with them or if they made it to Utah.The families are not mentioned in the rest of the journal again. John Clark's journal provides a bit more information.
