Dear Judith, Thank you for your input on this web site. I do not think that this Rowland is in the right family, as he is not mentioned in Elisha CLARKE's will in 1785 and I have not found an entry for him being the child of Elisha CLARKE and Desire GARDNER on the Rhopde Island Vital Records. I also checked the 1782 census of Rhode Island, and my Elisha only has five sons living at home with him and his wife, Desire, as well as one daughter, who I now know was Abigail. I will take the opportunity to contact this Mr. Taylor, however, to see why he feels that there is a family match here. Perhaps he has soem primary evidence whih i have not yet been able to uncover. Thank you for thinking of me and my elusive CLARKE's while you were doing your own research. It is much appreciated. Kindest regards, Anne CLARK-STEWART Mississauga, Ontario on 5/16/02 6:46 PM, G.
