About Harriet Clark
Harriet (Kennerly) Radford Clark was one of the daughters born to Samuel Kennerly and his wife Mary Talbot Hancock.
Harriet was united in marriage twice during her life-time: first, on December 23, 1809 in Botetourt, Virginia to Dr. John Radford. Harriet and John were blessed with the birth of three children during their short 8 year marriage:
- Rear Admiral William Radford
- Mary Preston Radford Kearny
- John Desborough Radford
William Clark married Julia Hancock on January 5, 1808, at Fincastle, Virginia, and they had five children.
After Julia's death in 1820, Wm. Clark married her first cousin, the widow Harriet (Kennerly) Radford, and they had three children:
- Jefferson Kearny Clark (1824-1900);
- Edmund Clark (1826-1827); and
- Harriet Clark (dates unknown; died as child).
His second wife died 25 Dec 1831 at age 43 in Saint Louis Missouri, United States.

Like Clark, Harriet had come to know sorrow. She had been married at age 18 to John Radford, an aspiring doctor. In something of a break from tradition, Radford was about Harriet’s age. The two had three childen and appeared poised for a long and happy marriage when Radford met with an unthinkable hazard of pioneer life: he was attacked and killed by a wild hog while traveling through the Kentucky wilderness. Harriet had moved to St. Louis to live with a brother, where she and Clark met again. They were married in late 1821.
Clark seems to have been both a good judge of women and an affable, easy-to-get-along-with man, for again all accounts indicate that he and Harriet had a happy marriage in spite of the trials and sorrows of life, which included some hard blows indeed: Mary Margaret, Clark’s daughter by Julia, died at the age of seven, and Julius died at the age of thirteen. William and Harriet had two sons together. Jefferson was healthy and strong, but Edmund died when only a year old.
