John Kolar is the man on Clark’s.

Try, Gunsmiths of Maryland by Hartzler & Whisker & The Ohio books @ http://aolrc.com/

I believe there is some info in Whiskers Virgina book also.

I recall an excellent KRA bulletin on the Clarks about 10 years ago written by John Kolar.  I'll try to find it.  Nice color photos and history about a swive rifle signed on
both barrels by father and son.
