Hi Mitzi. Your email does open a mystery bag for me. I am researching to find my ggg grandfather here in Australia and considering the problems it presents to all, I do wonder that a dna test would verify if he was a 'Clark/e'( we have been unable to trace his birthplace and birth date) Have your "Clark/e" linage have any links here in Australia?? Kind regards Tas Browning Devonport Tasmania Australia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mitzi Bateman" <mitzi@cncnet.com> To: <CLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 4:59 PM Subject: Re: [Clarke-Clark] Deep South Clarks > Hi Barbara, > I believe that the larger Clark DNA Project is open to any male Clark.

Hi Richard, It's great to see so much interest in GA Clarks. Do you have a male Clark who could participate? If you can find a known descendant of Thomas in NC and test both him and a descendant in your line, a match will show kinship and a common ancestor and a mismatch will let you know that you need to look elsewhere. Other Georgia Clark lines that have been DNA tested (but didn't match our Clarks) are Elijah Clark of Wilkes County, Williamson Clark of Elbert County. I'm not familiar with the male given names in your line, but Franklin is farther north than I've researched. Our known Clarks were in central and southern GA. I'll keep your Wiley and his sons in mind. Thanks for responding.

Hi Barbara, I believe that the larger Clark DNA Project is open to any male Clark. See the Clark links on this URL. http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_sum.asp?let=C&projecttype=S There is a second small project that says it's for PA Clarks. It isn't my project;we are only participants in the study and have nothing personal to do with either project. But if you have two Clarks that you think might match, you can set up your own "study" within the study. : ) Follow the links on the above site to the Clark study results, and you'll see that there are seventy Clarks in the two projects. Family trees for participants are available by clicking on the kit number on the left. Perhaps you already have a cousin listed. If you aren't clear about what is involved in genetic genealogy, check a site like the following and check out some of the links. http://www.kerchner.com/dna-info.htm Hope this helps.

My husband, a direct descendant of Samuel Clark b. 1775 VA (wife Polly Williams), son of Thomas Clark SR, has a perfect match with a direct descendant of James Clark b. ca. 1777 VA or NC (wife Agnes Henderson), also a son of Thomas Clark SR. We are in the process of upgrading to the 37 marker test, which I fully expect to be a perfect match, as well. Thomas Clark b. ca. 1755: Earliest mention I have found so far is the 1795 tax list for Madison Co KY, where he is polled with a son 16+ years of age. The following year Thomas is polled with two sons 16+ years of age (presumably James and Stewart) and Samuel, now age 21, is polled with Thomas. (Note: 1796 - 21 = 1775 year of birth. The 1850 Clinton Co KY census states Samuel was born in 1775 in VA.) In 1797 Thomas & Samuel are missing from the tax lists. In 1798 Thomas & Samuel are polled together in Lincoln County KY. Samuel Clark married Polly Williams on 03 Sep 1798 in Lincoln County, KY. (Note: On 10 Jul 1792 James Clark b. 1761-1764 married Leannah Ross, d/o Sarah Ross. This same family settled upstream from Samuel Clark in Wayne County, and by 1829 had migrated to Bond Co IL with two of Thomas' children--William Clark and Deborah Clark McGinnis, who had married Abraham McGinnis. The nature of the relationship between this James Clark and Thomas Clark SR is unknown.) In 1799 Pulaski Co KY was formed from Lincoln Co, and Thomas & Samuel were polled in Pulaski. Subsequent tax lists reveal that they were living on Cabbin Branch of Pitman Creek. In 1806 Elinor Clark was polled on Pitman Creek with Thomas Clark. (The daughter of James and Elizabeth Clark of Orange Co, NC, Elinor married her cousin John Clark. They sold property in Randolph Co NC in 1786 and migrated to Madison Co KY in 1789. John & Elinor Clark lived near Thomas Clark on Paint Lick Creek in the part of Madison Co that would become Garrard Co. Also nearby was Elinor's sister Catherine Clark, who also married an unknown Clark, and Baptist(e) Clark, who (by all appearances) was related to old Samuel Clark who died in Randolph Co, NC, in 1783. Old Samuel and Baptist Clark originally came to Rowan Co NC from York Co PA ca. 1759. Old Samuel's son Thomas b. 1743 York Co PA married Sarah Clark, another sister of Elinor Clark.) Elinor removed to Warren Co TN after 1807, where several of Thomas' sons also settled. She died in Rutherford Co TN ca. 1843. Thomas Clark disappeared from Pulaski Co KY after 1809. We are uncertain if he died at this time or also moved to Tennessee. His son Samuel settled in Wayne Co KY after the War of 1812 and died in Clinton Co KY 1850-1860. Sons Thomas and Stewart were in Warren Co TN in 1820; James was in Smith Co TN in 1820 & Warren Co in 1830; William and daughter Deborah McGinnis were in Bond Co IL in 1820. Indications are that John & Alexander also went to Tennessee; and youngest son Benjamin died in Van Buren Co TN before 1850. Thomas Jr died in Dade Co GA ca. 1848. James, Stewart, William and Deborah all died in Arkansas. Joseph Clark, York Co SC: It has recently come to my attention that Joseph Clark of York Co SC may have been a close relation of James Clark who died 1796 in Orange Co NC. <County, South Carolina. He was the son of William Clark and Unknown. He married Margaret Faver Bef. 1764 in Unknown.>> His descendants may have migrated into Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. If there are any descendants of this line, I'd like to compare notes. I also would like to invite any Clark male who may be connected to these lines to participate in the Virginia Clark DNA project to see if there is a possibility of a common ancestor.

Also nearby was Elinor's sister Catherine Clark, who also married an unknown Clark, and Baptist(e) Clark, who (by all appearances) was related to old Samuel Clark who died in Randolph Co, NC, in 1783. Old Samuel and Baptist Clark originally came to Rowan Co NC from York Co PA ca. 1759. Old Samuel's son Thomas b. 1743 York Co PA married Sarah Clark, another sister of Elinor Clark.) Elinor removed to Warren Co TN after 1807, where several of Thomas' sons also settled. She died in Rutherford Co TN ca. 1843. Thomas Clark disappeared from Pulaski Co KY after 1809. We are uncertain if he died at this time or also moved to Tennessee. His son Samuel settled in Wayne Co KY after the War of 1812 and died in Clinton Co KY 1850-1860. Sons Thomas and Stewart were in Warren Co TN in 1820; James was in Smith Co TN in 1820 & Warren Co in 1830; William and daughter Deborah McGinnis were in Bond Co IL in 1820. Indications are that John & Alexander also went to Tennessee; and youngest son Benjamin died in Van Buren Co TN before 1850. Thomas Jr died in Dade Co GA ca. 1848. James, Stewart, William and Deborah all died in Arkansas. Joseph Clark, York Co SC: It has recently come to my attention that Joseph Clark of York Co SC may have been a close relation of James Clark who died 1796 in Orange Co NC. <County, South Carolina. He was the son of William Clark and Unknown. He married Margaret Faver Bef. 1764 in Unknown.>> His descendants may have migrated into Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. If there are any descendants of this line, I'd like to compare notes. I also would like to invite any Clark male who may be connected to these lines to participate in the Virginia Clark DNA project to see if there is a possibility of a common ancestor.

I am pleased to say that we have a perfect 25-marker dna match to another descendant of Thomas Clark SR who was in Pulaski County, KY, 1799-1809. My husband, a direct descendant of Samuel Clark b. 1775 VA (wife Polly Williams), son of Thomas Clark SR, has a perfect match with a direct descendant of James Clark b. ca. 1777 VA or NC (wife Agnes Henderson), also a son of Thomas Clark SR. We are in the process of upgrading to the 37 marker test, which I fully expect to be a perfect match, as well. Thomas Clark b. ca. 1755: Earliest mention I have found so far is the 1795 tax list for Madison Co KY, where he is polled with a son 16+ years of age. The following year Thomas is polled with two sons 16+ years of age (presumably James and Stewart) and Samuel, now age 21, is polled with Thomas. (Note: 1796 - 21 = 1775 year of birth. The 1850 Clinton Co KY census states Samuel was born in 1775 in VA.) In 1797 Thomas & Samuel are missing from the tax lists. In 1798 Thomas & Samuel are polled together in Lincoln County KY. Samuel Clark married Polly Williams on 03 Sep 1798 in Lincoln County, KY. (Note: On 10 Jul 1792 James Clark b. 1761-1764 married Leannah Ross, d/o Sarah Ross. This same family settled upstream from Samuel Clark in Wayne County, and by 1829 had migrated to Bond Co IL with two of Thomas' children--William Clark and Deborah Clark McGinnis, who had married Abraham McGinnis. The nature of the relationship between this James Clark and Thomas Clark SR is unknown.) In 1799 Pulaski Co KY was formed from Lincoln Co, and Thomas & Samuel were polled in Pulaski. Subsequent tax lists reveal that they were living on Cabbin Branch of Pitman Creek. In 1806 Elinor Clark was polled on Pitman Creek with Thomas Clark. (The daughter of James and Elizabeth Clark of Orange Co, NC, Elinor married her cousin John Clark. They sold property in Randolph Co NC in 1786 and migrated to Madison Co KY in 1789.

Hello Clark/Clarkes, A group of us are researching Clarks who were in Georgia by the middle to late 1700's. Known GA counties where this group of Clarks were known to live include Burke, Laurens, Wilkinson, Montgomery, Thomas, Baker, Mitchell, Colquitt, and Sumter. Our family stories lend support that these Clarks were in the Carolinas before coming to GA. We also know that one of the related Clarks went to the MS Delta Country in the early 1800's. Four Clark men who represent this Georgia group are in the Clark DNA Project. If anyone is interested in seeing if you might connect to these Clarks, we would be glad to contribute financially to the cost of your taking the simple DNA test. A connection could have occurred long before our Clarks arrived in GA. Please contact me for further information. The Clark Project is a new and exciting means to trace our heritage where the paper trail has failed us. Hope to hear from some of you. Kind Regards, Mitzi Clark Bateman mitzi@cncnet.com

I have James CLARK b Jan 1843 Carrollton, Greene co, IL d 8 June 1929 Mexico, Audrain co, MO. He married 1864 Carrollton, Greene co, IL to Mary Catherine ANDERSON b 17 Nov 1846 d 17 April 1890. Their children: Rosa Belle CLARK b 17 Jan 1867 Cornelia Francis CLARK b 19 Feb 1870 Albert Silas CLARK b Apr 1872 John David CLARK b 31 Oct 1874 d 3 May 1958 m Lena Elizabeth SANDERS Sarah Jane CLARK b 24 Sep 1877 m Malcolm TALBOT / TALBERT Alvarado Teresa CLARK b 26 July 1880 m Edmund BAILEY Susie Catherine CLARK b 11 May 1884 m Elmer RUTLEDGE Iretta Margaret CLARK b 18 Apr 1888 m Carroll Alexander BECK Cornelia and John went by their middle names of Francis and David; Alvarado went by Alva and her husband Edmund went by Ted. I mention all of this in case a cousin is lurking out there. <g> I have found James and Mary Catherine in the 1870 and 1880 census for Pike co, MO, and then James with daus Susie and Iretta in 1900 in Audrain co, MO. What I am looking for, from anyone with access to census indexes and / or images, is James CLARK [probably in his parents' family -- though I don't have their names] in the 1850 and 1860 census for Carrollton, Greene co, IL. I believe he lived his life before the Civil War entirely in Carrollton / Carlton / Carleton, because he also enlisted from Carrollton. Since his birthday was in Jan, he should be 7 in 1850 and 17 in 1860. Any assistance with census records, or any other clues as to where to look for James' parents, much appreciated! Alie Jo

Just wondering if any of you that have VA/SC connections has a James Clark b. c. 1805 SC in your data base? I am not necessarily asking if he is a direct line, just kin. His place of birth in SC is unkn. Parents unkn. Any family connections unkn. His move to GA unkn His first wife's surname unkn 2 children on the 1830 census is unkn James was a farmer. He appeared on the 1830 Marion Co. GA census and remained in Marion Co. until his death c. 1878. He married Elva, Elvina, Elvira b. 1811 SC. 2 children were on the 1830 census but not traceable because the 1840 census doesn't have any of my family connections on the census although they appeared again on the 1850 census and continued until their deaths or migration. 2nd marriage to Mahala Richardson b. 1833 GA. She was the dau. of John and Elizabeth Catherine Richardson who also were from SC and in Marion Co. GA by 1830. Children: James b. 1868 d. c. 1889 of fever. Susan b. 1869 Ely b. 1872 d. 1940 in Mitchell Co. GA. After the death of James Sr., James Jr., and Elizabeth Catherine Richardson (part of household), Ely moved his sister and mother to Mitchell Co. GA. All three of them, including Ely's wife, Ella Mae Griner Clark are buried in Cool Springs Baptist Church cemetery in Colquitt Co. GA There are no records found on this family in the courthouse in Marion Co. GA to date. Anyone? Nora
