Hello, I'm sorry but I have been sitting back seeing the posts about whether or not someone's family did or did not spell their name with an E on the end or not and it really just may not be the case, regardless which way it is spelled now or for the last 5 generations.......before that they may have spelled it totally differently including CLERKE, etc.. I learned awhile back that it is only within our more contemporary history that people have made a "bigger deal" about the precise way that something is spelled. If you look at some of the older wills sometimes you will see the same name spelled two or three different ways within the same will. My MYRICK lineage is the best example that I can think of. The name began as MEURIG in the 1500's in Wales when King Henry, VIII declared that the Welsh should begin to use surnames and my ancestor, Meurig ap Llewellyn, took his given name of Meurig, that had been used in his family off and on for centuries, and used it as his surname MEURIG. Then with the Anglicization of Wales, the spelling of the name became MEYRICK and then around 1600 as the family went into England some used MERRICK and then when immigrating in the early 1600's to MA, MN, Virginia and Maryland, the name changed again into MYRICK and other variations including MYRICKE, MIRICKE, MIRICK, MIRIK, MIRIX, MYRIX, MYRICKS, MYRICH, MYRICHE, etc.. So, "TO E OR NOT TO E........THAT IS THE QUESTION." However, folks, it is not one to get hung up on. If you do, you may lose the very "TREASURE" of your ancestral heritage that you are searching for. Good luck and God Bless! Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett BandB4951@aol.com

Hello, I will be trying every now and then to connect with CLARKES from Maine. I am at the brick wall with my line of Clarkes. I am trying to find any members of Archibald Clarke, his mother,father of siblings. Archibald was born in Bath Maine about 1788-90. Would anyone have information on him or his family. I am planning a trip to Bath sometime in July and would also be interested in any information on where to go to research the Clarke family when I arrive in Bath. Any information would be helpful. Thank you in advance for your time. Yours truly, Angus Clarke. GE.NO@RCN.COM

I,for one,appreciate your explanation of possible name spelling changes. A big THANK YOU. Itasca "Life is a story in volumes three, the past, the present, and yet to be."

Hello List! This information came to me via another researcher, who knew I was researching the Clark/Clarke name. It appears to be a list of people charged with treason, among them a WILLIAM CLARK. who was living in Chester County, Providence Township, PA. I have taken the liberty of cleaning up the "forward" and omitting the long list of names. Does anyone know who this particular William Clark was and what happened to him? I know nothing more than what you see. Carla Clark Mathews This is a list of "traitors" i.e. British sympathizers or collaborators; the criteria for making the list is unknown, but it was compiled after the winter of the British occupation of Philadelphia. These are the names of those from Chester County,Providence Township, PA. June 17, 1778 The Pennsylvania Packet PENNSYLVANIA.ss A PROCLAMATION.

I'm trying to find any information on Thomas M Clark/e. He came out of Dalton, GA in 1863 to enter the CSA in Columbia, SC. In 1860, he and his family was in the St Johns Berkeley Parish, SC. Any information on his Parents or other family members would be appreciated. Thanks, Murray

Gayle, One of the sons of John Clark b. 1768 was John Gias Nicholas Freeman CLARK and he was b. March 25, 1809 in Laurens Co. GA. I have his family and siblings fairly well documented. John GNF, as we call him, m. Eliabeth McClendon April 7, 1836. He died May 18, 1894. Does this seem to fit? Even if it does not fit, it would be interesting that the two John Clarks had the name Freeman. Sandy

This, too, is a long shot. My great great grandfather was born in Georgia around 1817. His name was John Freeman Clark, and I have searched for his parents in vain for many years. Your John Clark is beginning his family in the right place at the right time. Is there, perhaps, any connection? Do you have any Freeman/Clark combinations? Thanks for any response, Gayle Cowley

Thanks to all Clark(e) searchers for the replies. I truly only intented to help with my comment. It may have sounded bossy, I suppose. My intention is to find more of my families and to help others when I can share. ----- Original Message ----- From: <BEHarveyGen@aol.com> To: <CLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 7:46 PM Subject: [CLARKE] Re:CLARK or CLARKE > Dear Beth Bond, > I too, have been doing research, for many years and I too have CLARK and > CLARKE in my linage.

I have been doing some research again in Garrard Co. and found something interesting on the Clarks below. John Clark Orange Co.NC married Eleanor Clark ca 1760. They moved to Garrard Co.KY as early as 1794 when John bought land from Thomas Graves. Eleanor was named in Forrest Calico's book, "History of Garrard Co" as one of the original settlers in Garrard before 1800. John died before 1801 when his wife and sons sold the family farm to the eldest son, John Jr. On all documents and transcriptions I have found someone has always written Milly beside Nelly. Saturday I received the will of William Clark and he states he wants his parents John and Milly Clark to live on his plantation. This will was written in 1822. As my John was dead before 1801 and the deed listed Eleanor as a widow this couldn't be the same couple. This William married Sarah Crawford Oct.22,1801 Garrard Co.KY. William Clark and Mary Comely Oct.17,1798 Garrard Co.KY William Clark and Margaret Miller Dec.11,1787 Madison Co.KY There was also a William Clark and Fanny Brown married in Madison Co.KY around the same time and he died in 1794. Is anyone interested in this Clark family? I am still in the process of verifying info I have found and am trying to descramble these families. Thanks Marilyn Merritt

Beth, you took me back there for a moment with the "Laura Clarke" names. My paternal grandfather's first wife was Laura Morgan Clarke. When I checked the dates, I knew better. I should have realized that it's unlikely anyone has exhumed and moved Laura Clarke's body from the farm in Quinton, New Kenty County into Oakwood. If you recorded any other Clarkes from Oakwood, I would love to hear from you. It was my paternal great grandmother, Emily Cooke Shore Watkins who sold the property to the City of Richmond for Oakwood Cemetery, right after the Civil War as I understand it. Space was reserved for the family, and perpetual care was to have been provided. (Buried Oakwood Cemetery Sect. D. Div. S. D. Lot 50, Part 4.) [I don't know if her husband, James Harvey Watkins was buried there, or where he was buried; and I don't know who else might be buried at this section.] I have four Clarkes buried in Oakwood Cemetery in the following section: Oakwood Cemetary, Section D, Division B, Lot 36, Part 2, Richmond, Va They are as follows: Daniel Orion, Charlotte "Lottie Belle (Watkins) Clarke (Emily's daughter & my paternal grandmother); Charles Shore Clarke; and Robert Lee Clarke. The men are Lottie's sons, my uncles. We believe that Orion and Charles may have been married at some point, but we do not know all the details and whether or not they left any descendants. Also, Robert had a long-term "lady friend", but details again are unclear. If there is anyone researching Clarkes for whom these names sound familiar, I would like to hear from you.

Dear Beth Bond, I too, have been doing research, for many years and I too have CLARK and CLARKE in my linage. It was a common practice to drop the E. Perhaps your Clarke's did not drop the E and that is great for you if you have been able to run you lines without finding just plain CLARK, but was it necesssary for you to be so rude? I believe you owe Mr and Mrs Bud Beard an apology. You took exception,and apparently felt you were being critized when, it was apparent that it was only a suggest to HELP YOU. I have never, in all the years I have been researching, known anyone to fly off the handle the way you did. Hope you are having a better day today. Barb Harvey

Hi all, I am pretty busy now and very happy to be busy with what I am doing as I am managing a couple of jobs that I love to do. However I am going to be unsubscribing from some of the lists I am on at least for awhile to get less e-mail. This is the second I am unsubscribing to today. Again Dianne good luck on Lee Clarke! And much luck to all of you on your family trees. Just had a good high blood pressure check up so I am looking forward to the summer. Beth suntanr2@worldnet.att.net

Genie As there are different levels of persons searching for their ancestors (some just beginning and others for a long period of time) I thank you for your posting reminding us to check all possible spelling. I know it has gone faster for me when those with experience have given me these little tips. Thanks again. Ronna

Hi, I just happened to know for sure that is how my Clarkes spelled their name as I have done very extensive research on them. I do understand what you are saying as I have other names that can be spelled in various ways, and we all know how many time records, especially it seems, the census records spell people's names wrong. I just was explaining that I had already posted last week and I was merely responding to someone else's question directed toward me.

Hi Rich, Thank you. It was nice of you to offer. I posted more on my line last week but not further back that Edwin, although I know some of his parents families.

Clarke > Thanks for posting these, Beth. I'm going to try to find out if this is the same Lee Clarke who was my great-grandmother's brother. The age at death seems to be just about right, and he lived most, if not all, of his life in New Kent Co./Charles City Co. area. It's entirely possible he could have died in Williamsburg. I haven't had much time to post lately, but saw your postings and wondered if your Clarkes might tie in with mine. Mine all lived in New Kent/Charles City and as far as we know, spelled their name with the 'e' on the end. My GGgrandfather was Albert Thomas Clarke (went by Tom) and his father was Benjamin M(unford?) Clarke. His father was probably Albert B. Clarke. Tom Clarke was married three times and had numerous children; his first wife, Isabella Craddock Adams (a young widow) was my GGgrandmother. My great-grandmother was Emma Jane Clarke, who m. Albert F. Kidd. Other children of Tom Clarke were Edith Ree Clarke, Lee Clarke, and Coral Clarke. There were many others, possibly as many as 20, but I don't have all the names. If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know. I'd like to trace this line further back. Thanks, Dianne Walsh
