  Washington County abstracted death records include an entry for a Rebecca Clark who died Nov. 10, 1860 of unknown causes. She is listed as the daughter of Robert and "Mary" Clark. However since this is an abstracted record the mother's name might have actually been entered as Marg. on the original record. It is assumed that Rebecca, daughter of Robert and Margaret Clark died before 1875 as she is not listed in Robert's will. She was enumerated in Robert's household on the 1860 census, recorded on July 14th of that year.4,5
