**Clark Higley's grandparents, Daniel Higley and Elijah Higley both established homes in Marlboro, Windham, Vermont, where his parents, Oliver Higley and Lucretia Higley were born, reared and married. They left the coldwinters of Vermont in about 1812, a short time before Clark was born and headed south to New York. He was said to be the first child born in Edinburg, New York, which was only a temporary home for the Higleys before they started their westward movement.
The next home of the Higley family was Jamestown, Chautauqua County in Western New York. Many families had moved into western New York after 1790 and as the population increased, ministers recognized that conditions were favorable for the establishment of churches in this area. Large numbers were added to the Protestant churches of western New York between 1816 and 1821. Another flurry of excitement erupted in 1825 and continued periodically until 1837. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was organized in 1830 and they, too, began preaching the gospel in Western New York. It must have been about 1831 that Oliver, Lucretia and their children were taught by LDS missionaries. Clark was seventeen years old at the time that he and most of his family were converted and baptized into the church. Clark Higley and his parents were convinced of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and became devout members for the rest of their lives.
When the Prophet Joseph Smith told the Saintsin New York to assemble together in Ohio, Clark's family made plans to move. In the spring of 1831, several groups of Saints assembled and traveled from Western New York to the Erie Canal, where they took a canal boat to Buffalo New York and from there traveled a short distance overland to Kirtland Ohio. The Oliver Higley family, no doubt, traveled that same route when they joined the Saintsin Kirtland.
It was on December 27, 1832 that the Lord called upon the Saintsto build a temple to his name in Kirtland. The Kirtland Temple was dedicated March 27, 1836. Clark Higley no doubt attended service there and shared in the excitement of the great visions and teachings, which were received at that time.
Clark Higley must have met his wife Malinda Cheney in Kirtland as they participated in the various activities and meetings of the LDS Church. Malinda, the daughter of Hurd Cheney had also come to Kirtland Ohio from western New York (Freedom, Cattaraugus County) after her family had been converted to the Mormon religion. Clark and Malinda were married September 17, 1837 in Kirtland, Geauga County, Ohio.
"With the Prophet now living in Missouri, Clark and Oliver alongwith other faithful church members in Kirtland wanted to follow him. On March 6, 1838 the Seventies met in the temple to plan the migration. They extended theprivilege of joining the exodus to all members of the Church. The result was the pioneer party known as the Kirtland Camp, which left the city on July 3 with515 people, 27 tents, 59 wagons, 97 horses, 22 oxen, 69 cows and 1 bull. The trip was difficult and discouragement was great. Before reaching Springfield, Illinois, the group had been reduced to about 260 persons." (The Story of the Latter-Day Saints, 115)
