This is from a public family tree on Ancestry.com:
James O. Clark b. 11 April 1818, Sevier, Tennessee, d. 17 June 1898, Wood, Texas
m. circa 1843, Missouri, to Edeline (Unknown), b. 1823, d. 1890
Children:
William M. Clark, b. 1845, Reynolds, Missouri
Elizabeth J. Clark, b. 1849, Van Zandt, Texas
James H. Clark, b. 13 April 1851, Van Zandt, Texas
John F. Clark, b. 1853, Wood, Texas
Robert Carrol Clark, b. 1856, Wood, Texas, d. 1904
Ambrose C. Clark, b. 16 May 1858, Wood, Texas
Andrew F. Clark, b. 1860
The above William M. Clark could possibly be the one you are looking for, since he had a brother named Robert F. Clark.
And, he could have possibly named his son after his brother.
The tree did not list any info on his wife or children.
The following two Benjamin F. Clark entries are on private trees:
Benjamin F. Clark b. 1879, Texas
Benjamin F. Clark b. 1876, Texas
