Major Solomon Clark was not the biological son of Marcus Lafayette Clark. He was the son of Nancy "Nannie" Morrison. I'm not certain if Morrison was her married name or her maiden name.
Marcus Lafayette Clark was first married to Frances E. Justice Clark, grave site at Refuge Baptist Church. She died in 1899. He then married Nancy "Nannie" Morrison. He raised her three children as his own, but I can't find where he legally adopted them. On the 1900 census it clearly states that they are his stepchildren.
Marcus Lafayette Clark suffered such terrible injuries as a Confederate soldier imprisoned at the POW Camp Douglas in Chicago that he was disabled the rest of his life and physically unable to bear children, as his clear on his pension application.
