No idea when and where he was born/died but different sources like Frogs of the United States and Canada , The Scientific Nomenclature of Birds in the Upper Midwest , Early Southwest Ornithologists, 1528-1900 or Audubon to Xántus: The Lives of Those Commemorated in North American Bird Names have him only as born ca 1830. Even some of the sources doubt the death year 1885.

Clark's Grebe Aechmophorus clarkii G. N. Lawrence, 1858
John Henry Clark (1830–1885) was an American surveyor, naturalist and collector. He was a student of Baird (q.v.) at Dickinson College (c.1844). He was a zoologist on the US/Mexican Border Survey (1850–1855), during which period (1851) he collected the type specimen of a ground snake, which was one of about 100 new vertebrate species he collected with Schott (q.v.). Under the auspices of the USNM he conducted the Texas Boundary Survey (1860). Two reptiles and an amphibian are named after him.
