Were the parents of the Clark who was the furtrader -- Simon Clark and Eve Ann Waldorff?Eve Ann descended from Anton Waldorff(1700-1777) tombstone, Fairview Presbyterian Cem., New Jersey.Anton's son, Martin, fought for the British during the American REvolution and his widow and children settled in Osnabruck Township c 1785.(son, Martin Jr., was baptised in Feb. 27, 1772, Trinity Lutheran Church, Stone Arabia, New York).The relationship to the Astor family is uncertain.It has been said that a Waldorff woman married into the Astor family(whether descended from Anton or from his brother, Engelburtus, is unknown to me).
