James Clarence Fink
Born: Mar 1858
Died: 01 Nov 1937
James Clarence Fink was the first child born to Moses David Fink (1836) and Louiza Angeline Cline. James was born Mar 1858.
There's a bit of a mystery surrounding James Clarence Fink. The 1860 District South of the Yadkin Census for Iredell County shows James' father, Moses, was 24 years old and living at home with his parents and siblings.

(actually James Clarence) and Henry A. Fink. If James was born in 1858, was Moses his father, or was his father from a previous marriage for Louiza?

The Census lists Moses David's name as "M.D." and Louiza Angeline's name as "L.A." Their son Henry A. Fink from the 1870 Census is listed as "H.A." with a last name of "Morrison". Henry, age 20, is also listed as a step-son.
That seems to suggest that even though James Clarence and Henry A. went by the name of "Fink", they could have actually been "Morrisons".

His son, Eugene Fink, was the Informant, and Eugene was living in Mooresville, NC.
