Action in case brought to Sept. 1790. And now to wit Sept. 6, 1792 a jury being called came .... The Plantiff being 3 times solemnly called appears not, therefore Judgment of Non suit." Since church records list the death of Christian Lisnet, Sr., this has to be his son Christy.

Clunk was born 2/13/1829 in Columbiana Co., 2 miles south of New Lisbon, and is the son of Anthony and Elizabeth Clunk. He was reared on the farm and attended school during the winters until 13 years of age, when he found employment as a farm laborer in the vicinity of his home. At the age of 18 he began working at the shoemaker's trade, which he followed successively 36 years, and which he still continues, having opened a shop of his own in 1875. August 12, 1862 he enlisted in Co. K., 104th reg. OH Vols., with which he served for a period of 15 months, when he was discharged on account of physical disabilities. He participated in several battles during his period of service, but did not receive any wounds and was not otherwise injured. Mr. Clunk and Miss Mary J. Morrow, dau. of Hugh Morrow, were united in marriage 9/29/1852, and their union has been blessed with 4 children, viz.: Ann A. (deceased), Marquis, Carrie (deceased), and Mattie. Mr. Clunk is a member of the G.A.R., belonging to post No. 138, and with his wife is identified with the church of the Disciples. Anthony Clunk, the subject's father, was born in Adams Co. PA, in 1792, came to New Lisbon in 1818, and soon after attaining his majority married Elizabeth Elder, to whom 15 children were born, 9 of whom were sons, 7 having served in the late war of the rebellion. Of these, 2 gave up their lives for their country. The following are the names of the children: Jacob (dec.), Mrs. Eliza Thomas (dec.), John, Mrs. Mary Fitzpatrick (dec.), Charlie (dec.), Martin (dec.), Anthony, Nicholas M., Mrs. Rebecca A. Morrow, Mrs. Margaret Florey, Joseph (dec.), William, Peter, Mrs. Catherine Clapsadle, Ann M. (dec.).
