I have been looking for family of William Clark, living in Harrison CO, Texas about 1836. I believe William was an attorney as well as fighting for the New Republic of Texas. He represented a gggggrandmother of mine named Nancy who married Alfred Dean, John Ussery and John McMills. She died 1854. William Clark represented her in several court cases. I believe her maiden name was either Avery or Clark. ------------------------------------ John Philip Adams -----Original Message----- From: Shirley Ashley [mailto:shirla@granderiver.net] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 3:28 PM To: CLARKE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Clarke-Clark] Re: Clarks Is there anyone out there researching the Clarke/Clark line from S.C.-Ala.-Ms-La.-Texas.

I am still trying to find the parents of MOSES CLARK, born 1810. His wife was Elizabeth Hunt. In 1850 they are in Moreland, Lycoming County. Immediately after, they moved to St. Joseph, Michigan. Does anyone have a Moses Clark in PA? Virginia

Malachy CLARKE was born before 1757 in Co. Galway, Ireland. He married Bridget GAVIN about 1772. They had five children: John, Andrew, Bridget Sabina, Jeremiah. All born in Ireland. Jeremiah died in Lebanan, KY. Andrew CLARKE (son of Malachy & Bridget) married Bridget CLARKE, same name not related. Both born in Ireland. I am really scarce on dates here, sorry. They had seven children: Martin, Malachy, Michael, Andrew, Sabina, Bridget, John 1833. Martin CLARKE (son of Andrew & Bridget) married Mary NOONE. They had two children: Michael & Bridget. Bridget died January 8, 1901 in the USA. Malachy CLARKE (son of Andrew & Bridget) was born in Ireland and died September 10, 1851 in Wheeling, W VA. Michael CLARKE (son of Andrew & Bridget) born in Ireland and died in New Orleans, LA. Andrew CLARKE (son of Andrew & Bridget) born & died in Ireland. Sabina CLARKE (daughter of Andrew & Bridget) no other info. Bridget CLARKE (daughter of Andrew & Bridget) married Thomas HALEY and she, it is believed to have died in Portland, KY. They had three children: John, Mary, & Bridget. John HALEY died 1903 in New Mexico. Mary HALEY died 1912 in Gretna, LA. Briget HALEY married Francis J. FLEURY in 1882 in New Orleans, LA They had six children: Frank T., John Ernest, James J., Mary L. John CLARKE / CLARK (son of Andrew & Bridget) b. 1833 in Ireland, married Mary MANION b. 1834 Ireland. John seems to have dropped the "e" in his name. Both died in Dubuque, Iowa. John in 1897 and Mary in 1899. They had three children: Edward Martin 1857 - 1898, Mary 1860 - 1893, Julia b. 1868. Mary married a Mr. BRADY. Any bells ringing? Mary Jo

They had nine children: Mary, Patrick, Bridget, Julia, Sabina, Malachy, William, John & Catherine. Patrick (son of John & Mary) married Catherine WADE. They were both born in Co. Galway, Ireland but met and married in the USA. They married in Wheeling, W VA. Both died in Muncie, Indiana.

Folks, I'm back at the Thomas Clark and Stewart/d Clark issue in Pulaski County KY. The 1850 census shows Thomas Clark age 65 b. KY w/ wife Juantia (Juanita?--20 years younger) with Steward Clark age 37 b. KY w/wife Mary living next door. It appears to me that Steward was the s/o of Thomas. Working backward, the 1840 census shows two Thomas Clarks--Thomas Clark age 50-59 living next door to Steward Clark age 20-29; and Thomas Clark age 20-29 on the same page with Josiah Clark age 30-39 and also several Stogsdill families. I have a marriage record for a Thomas Clark b. 1800 who married Sally Stodgil 02 Oct 1816 in Wayne Co KY. This would appear to be the 2nd Thomas Clark enumerated on the Pulaski Co 1840 census. The 1830 census shows Thomas Clark age 40-49 on same page with Josiah Clark. Thomas Clark has a male in household age 15-19 that could be Steward Clark. The 1820 census shows Thomas Clark age 45+ The 1810 census records no Thomas Clark By my calculations: Thomas Clark 1850 census b. ca. 1785 Thomas Clark 1840 cenus b. 1781-1790 Thomas Clark 1830 census b. 1781-1790 Thomas Clark 1820 census b. bef. 1775 I believe all these Thomas Clarks are the same man, including the one whose age is given as 45+. It also appears to me that he was the father of Steward Clark b. 1813. Question: Is this the Thomas Clark who some say is Thomas Steward/t Clark? I note that the 1850 census states he was born in Kentucky, not Virginia, which seems to me to place him squarely as a member of Thomas Clark SR's family, likely a nephew of his son Stewart Clark b. 1778 NC d. aft. 1850 Madison Co AR. The Thomas Clark b. 1811 married to Pernetta appears possibly to be a son of Josiah Clark. The 1860 census states he was born in NC, however I note he has a son Josiah and a daughter Catherine, which may hint at a connection with Catherine Clark of Garrard County and thus Thomas Clark SR of Pulaski. Thomas & Steward Clark (above) appear to be missing from the 1860 census. What I'm seeing here conflicts with what I've been told about a later Stewart Clark coming to Pulaski county. I need to see whatever other documentation exists regarding Thomas Stewart and/or Stewart Clark. I've been working on the theory that the Thomas Clark above was 1) the father of Steward Clark b. 1811; 2) a grandson of Thomas Clark SR; and 3) possibly the oldest son of my Samuel Clark. I think I've eliminated the third hypothesis, as Samuel would only have been 10 years old when this Thomas was born in 1785. As the oldest son, he is the only one who could have fathered Thomas. This in turn would eliminate the possibility that Thomas SR was the grandfather of this Thomas. Thomas Clark was the recipient of a number of land grants on Buck Creek. Fay Clark

Now, from 1799 until 1802 the the present Claiborne and Jefferson Counties were known as Pickering Co. Land grants, marriage records, tax lists and the oldest land maps of Claiborne Co. indicate that some of the people who owned land in the District West of Pearl at an early date were: Edward, Gibson, John, Thomas, Elijah, Elijah L., Lewis Clark (both Clark and Clarke used). In 1816 when MS was still a territory there were about 295 families living in Claiborne Co. Some Heads of Families were: Elijah L.

Hello Joy, and others: (Did you already receive this msg? It keeps coming up in my draft/outbox). Sorry if dupes. Welcome. Sorry I do not have a Charlotte Clark , off hand, that I know of; however, I do have Clarks who were in Scotland, and Ontario, Canada before going to MA and RI area USA. I would be interested in knowing the names of Charlotte's spouse and children and their locations if known. My Great big brick wall is at my Great-grandfather's level: Alexander Clark, b:ca 1844 Scotland; emigrated at some time prior to 1871 to Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada. I have NO information on his Parents, ancestors, Siblings and very little on his descendants. Thus, I check out anyone who was in Ontario particularly...and their movements. My Alexander CLARK, I assume, married Mary BOYD about 1871. No marriage record found. They had a daughter, Mary CLARK, b: 10 Oct 1872 in Grantham, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. (I believe the BOYDs...John BOYD & Mary GUTHRIE emigrated from Paisley, Renfrew, Scot between January 1868 and June 1870, (IAW the birth places of several children. ) Mary Boyd was the eldest of the children. Also, Mary Boyd b: 28 Oct 1850, Middle Paisley, Renfrew, Scot.and Alexander Clark, b:ca 1844, Scot, had a son, William Alexander CLARK, b: Feb 1877, in Merritton, Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada. NO Birth record . However, I have my Grandfather's Naturalization Papers which name his Parents as Alexander Clark and Mary Boyd. Alexander Clark and Mary Boyd emigrated from Ontario, Canada , about 1879 and appear on the 1880 MASS Census in Attleborough, Bristol Co. MA. with 3 children in household. Mary, 7 yr; Wm,4 yr, (Grandfather) and one listed as Other...John CLARK,1 yr. born in Canada of Scots Parentage. (Still do not know who he is or how related.) (On my Grandfather's Naturalization Papers, it indicates that he emigrated from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada to NY via New York Central Railway on 1 April 1879. (Assume with his Parents and/or the Boyds. ) John BOYD & Mary GUTHRIE appeared on the 1880 RI Census, in Lincoln, Providence Co. RI with four children (Mary NOT one of them.) ( William, b:16 Aug 1853, Abbey, Paisley, Renfrew,Scot.; Archibald b:ca 22 Oct 1855Abbey, Paisley,Renfrew; John b:19 Apr 1860;Abbey (Paisley, Renfrew & Margaret Fairbairn BOYD., b: ca 1866.) 2 or 3 other children were previously deceased. ( including an Alexander ,(perhaps b: ca 28 July 1858 1 male Boyd (perhaps a first James, b:18 DEC 1862, Abbey Paisley, Renfrew; and a 2nd ? James Boyd. born last in Ontario, Canada and died.) Only further information...on Boyds...I have the death certificates of these three Boyd Brothers who are buried in the Mashausuck (sp?)Cemetery in Central Falls, RI. And, it was stated by someone else, that John Boyd, the Father is buried there also and that he died on 3 September 1899 in RI. Apparently some records at this Cemetery were burned in a fire of 1899!! So far, I have no information on the deaths or other! locations of all the women in this family and nothing more on any other Clark children born in MA or RI. Other names mentioned in my search were two informants from the Boyd Boys Death Certificates: John ADAMS or rel; and Janet WILSON. I have more on my Grandfather's marriage and Son: my Dad etc in MA and CT. Can you identify or connect with any of these names and provide me with the data on Charlotte Clark? Thank you in advance. Hope this helps all of us. Regards, Barb Barbara Clark lorieclark@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

Recently saw some discussion of Lewis Clark here. I am looking for a connection to Lewis Clark who was living in Jackson Co, AL in 1840. He was on the rolls of Rev War Pensioners in 1840, stating his age as 77. That would make him born about 1763. Sorry for the vagueness, that is all I know.

Kevin, I'm intrigued and I'd like to help. I don't know specifically of any of my Clarks going to New Mexico, but we do have some MIA's.

Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1993. 349p. Page: 225 I'm still looking for my Thomas Clark b. ca. 1755. Does anyone know how or have the resources to obtain more information about the above referenced Thomas Clark? Or, if you can lay claim to this particular Thomas Clark, that would be helpful, too. To date, there have been no DNA matches to my husband, who is descended from Thomas Clark SR b. ca. 1755 who appears in Pulaski County, KY, between 1799-1810. He appears on the Lincoln County, KY tax lists for 1797-1798, and on the Madison County KY tax lists 1794-1796. The the Madison County KY tax lists are almost impossible to read prior to 1794, so he may actually be there before that. His oldest son Samuel was born in Virginia in 1775; a son Stewart was born in North Carolina in 1778. There also appears to be a connection with John and Elinor Clark of Orange County NC > Randolph Co NC > Madison Co KY. Elinor Clark, a daughter of James and Elizabeth Clark of Orange Co NC, appears on the Pulaski Co KY tax lists for 1805-1805. Since Thomas also came from Madison County, it is my belief they were related. John & Elinor Clark sold property in Randolphy Co NC in January 1786. They were in Madison County KY by 1787. John was dead by 1797; Elinor was in the newly formed Garrard County in 1802. Except for my Samuel Clark, the entire Clark clan had moved south into Tennessee by 1812. Thomas Clark JR, an ordained minister b. 1776-79, died in Dade Co GA in 1848. Sons Stewart, William and James eventually died in Madison County, AR. As one more aside, son William was in Ripley, Bond County, IL in 1820. Another family that settled near my Samuel Clark in Wayne Co KY was James Clark b. bef. 1765. He married Leannah Ross in Lincoln Co KY in 1792. After James' death in 1829, their children Robert, John and Nancy Clark Harmon also migrated to Bond County IL. I have never been able to discover the connection between James and Thomas Clark SR, but am persuaded that there is one somewhere. Fay Clark

Mary CHISHOLM > > I do have a marriage record of Church Records, St John Anglican Church of > Gagetown, Queens Co., NB, CAN, for 21 Jan 1800 for Rebecca BURNEY and a > Jabez CLARKE. I don't know if that document listed the ages at their marriage but if it did, then we could say for sure if he were the Rhode Island Jabez. > The marriage record is correct. They did not list anything other than the names of the people who were married. We can confirm that they were from Rhode Island based on a legal document transferring power of attorney from Jabez, Agibail CLARK COREY, Gardiner, Benjamin and Isaac to Elisha CLARK of HAMPSTEAD, NB so he could sell and dispose of his father's property in Newport Landing, Nova Scotia. > Do any of their kids records list their parents and where they were born > and possibly the ages of the parents at the time of the kids births? > No birth or baptism records exist for this CLARK family, as they were staunch Baptists who were objecting to the law that only Catholics and Anglicans could perform religious ceremonies. They only married in the Anglican Church for legal reasons. Hence, no baptisms or burials for this line of CLARKs in NB. The family buried their relatives in graves on the family farms and marked the spots with wooden crosses which have long since disappeared. > Let me know what you think.. So, these CLARKs were also LOYALISTS. The new data I uncovered this Fall goes as follows: Elisha CLARK (b. 1738 RI) marr. Desire GARDINER in RI April 10, 1763 ( NEHGS Vital Stats) Their Children are: Gardiner marr. Ruth SLOCUM dau. Ebenezer SLOCUM UE on Jan 20, 1789 in Waterborough Parish, Queens Co, NB. ( records of Anglican Church Gagetown) Gardiner and Ruth return to RI abt 1792 and appear on 1800 census for Kingstown, RI. with three children. Abigail marr. Gideon COREY UE poss. in NY before arriving in Canada. They settled in Gagetown area and about 1795 moved to New Canaan where they raised a large family. Abigail is purported to have more descendants as ministers, doctors, lawyers and politicians than any other woman in NB. Benjamin does not appear to have married. He is buried in Central Hampstead cemetery ( I have photo of his grave) and is listed as a native of Rhode Island. He was very active in the Baptist Church acting as scribe and later as an elder. Elisha marr. Catherine SlIPP UE daughter of Leonard SLIP. They remained in Hampstead. He is listed int he Queens' Co. Museum in Gagetown as a Loyalist and the copy of the will in his file states "Elisha CLARKE - U.E., Hampstead." When Elisha applied for a land grant in 1814, he stated that he had a wife, several children and an aged mother living with him. When his will was probated, there was no mention of his mother Isaac never married but stayed in New Brunswick. Jabez marr. Rebecca BURNEY UE (grandaughter of Robert LAND UE). Rebecca's mother, Abigail LAND BIRNEY stayed in the Gagetown area for a while and married Isaiah McCarter, a friend of her brother. By 1824 Jabez and Rebecca have 11 children and move to Hamilton, Ontario. So, from this info, all of my 3rd GGf's siblings who married chose the children of UE or actual UE's, supporting my case that Jabez was also a LOYALIST. I have more inof on the land that Elisha, father of Jabez, was granted in Nova Scotia in 1761, which proves that although he was granted land, he never lived there until 1783. He must have returned to RI shortly thereafter, as he died about 1784 and his will was probated in RI in 1785. More on that later.

Hello, Does anyone have any information on virginia/kentucky Clarks that are now in New Mexico? My grandfathers family is decended from John Clark who came to Virginia on the Bon Aventure in 1635, and his family eventually ended up in New Mexico a few generations back. I know I have family still there, but as my grandfather is long deceased I can't get any information on them. BTW I logged into my gmail account today and noticed I had 50 invites, if any fellow Clark(e)'s want an invite let me know. Kevin
