      |  | An excerpt from the biographical sketch of Clark's son 
      Harrison Morrical as printed in:
 Portrait and Biographical Record of Kankakee County, Illinois, 1893
      ...John Morrical, moved from Virginia to Ohio, becoming one of the pioneers of 
      Darke County.  When he settled in that portion of the State, the 
      county was a wilderness and heavily timbered.  On arriving at 
      maturity, Clark Morrical wedded Sarah Pense, who was born in Preble 
      County, Ohio.   In that State for many years he was a farmer, 
      after which, moving to Indiana, he operated farms in Henry and Fulton 
      Counties.  About 1852 he settled in Kankakee County, Ill., and was 
      one of the earlier pioneers of what is now Otto Township.  He opened 
      up a farm and spent a number of years in this locality.  In 1856 he 
      went to Indiana to settle up some business affairs and there died.  
      His remains lie buried in Tippecanoe.  While in Ohio be became a 
      member of the militia and was promoted to the rank of Colonel.  After 
      surviving her husband for many years, the wife and mother died in the 
      residence of her son and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, at Chebanse. 
      An excerpt from another biographical sketch of Clark's son Harrison 
      Morrical as printed in:
 History of Kankakee County, 1906
      Born among humble surroundings on 
      a farm in Darke County, Ohio, November 26, 1835, Mr. Morrical is of a 
      German ancestry, his family having been established in America by his 
      paternal great grandfather, who came from Germany and settled in Virginia. 
      Clark Morrical, son of John Morrical, was born in Virginia, moved 
      in later life with his father to Darke County, Ohio, still later settling 
      in Indiana, and in 1855, locating on the farm in Kankakee County.  
      When his death occurred in November, 1864, he was the father of nine 
      children:  Jacob, Nancy, Andrew, Solomon, Elizabeth, Oroha, Margaret, 
      Washington, and Clark.  Clark, the father of Harrison, was 
      born in Virginia, May 5, 1814, and when a boy moved with his parents to 
      Darke County, Ohio.  In February, 1834, he married Sarah Pence, a 
      native of Preble County, Ohio, and born March 7, 1812.  Mr. Morrical 
      was a man of energy and resource, but a disposition to wander prevented 
      the accomplishment of much in any one place.  For several years he 
      was a colonel in the Ohio state militia, and was filling that office at 
      the time of his removal to Henry County, Ind., in 1842.  Later on he 
      lived in Randolph, Fulton, Marshall, and LaPorte counties, Ind., and in 
      1855 settled on the farm in Otto township, Kankakee County, Ill., where he 
      spent the balance of his life.  His death occurred while on a 
      business trip to Marshall County, Ind., in 1857.  His wife, who 
      survived him ten years, was the mother of nine children:  Adam, 
      deceased; Harrison; Phoebe; Eliza A., deceased; Elias; Aaron, deceased; 
      Lewis; Alameda; and Sarah, deceased.   |  |  |
