Clark County was established in 1819 from Crawford Co IL. In 1823, Edgar Co IL was established from Clark. Two sources outside county records include mentions of Edgar County relative to Clark:

1. The Revolutionary War Pension application file of William and Sarah Ann MILLION Combs, includes Sarah's deposition made in Jan 1843 that she was a resident of Paris, Edgar Co IL, and had been so for six years (Another deponent, Sarah (HANKS?) Varvell stated in 1843 that it was seven years), having lived previously in (ascending order) Stafford Co VA; South Carolina; Russell Co VA; and Montgomery Co KY
2. In the 1885 Carlton Combs letter to his daughter, Carlton (s/o John & Jean JACKSON Combs and gs/o John & Sarah MABRY Combs) stated about two of his first cousins, children of Joseph and Nancy THOMPSON Combs:

"Jacob Peck [Combs] married a stranger to me. Though I visited them on my return from Tenn. in 1875. Found her to be an intelligent, interesting woman. They have a large family of children but the precise number is not recollected. They resided then in Kansas in Edgar County Illinois

"Mary married William TEURY [sp? TENNERY? See below] who died young, leaving an only daughter and a good farm. Your mother and me staid all night with them in Paris [Edgar Co IL] a few weeks after their marriage, while on our moving trip to Illinois in 1835. They soon afterwards moved on a farm in Jasper County where they lived but a short time and died and when as I remember to have heard it, the mother and daughter live together on the farm left them by the husband and father, the daughter never marring at all and the mother never married again."
