This is just a shot in the dark, but I couldn't help but notice the name Nicholas Clark in SC. I'm wondering if he could be related (maybe a brother?) to my James Clark, born possibly in Beaufort SC. Through another researcher, I received a copy of a typewritten paper he inherited from an old aunt stating that the father of "my" James was Nicholas Clark, a Revolutionary Soldier. I have no documentation or proof & have been hunting this elusive Nicholas for several years. Here is the family of my James Clark: 1. JAMES CLARK was born about February 11, 1788, and died March 21, 1842 in GA. He married ANN "Nancy" HORNE March 29, 1810 in Beaufort District, SC. She was born November 23, 1793, and died December 1872 in GA. Children of JAMES CLARK and ANN HORNE are: 2. i. NICHOLAS J. CLARK, b. 1812; d. 1855. m. He married (1) SUSAN GOULD. He married (2) CAROLINE HODGES October 02, 1845 in Liberty Co. GA 3. ii. JOHN CLARK, b. 1814; d. 1893, GA. He married MARY HAM 4. iii. RICHARD CLARK, b. 1816; d. 1886, GA. He married ESTHER "HETTY" PERRY. 5. iv. WILLIAM CLARK, b. April 28, 1818, GA; d. May 08, 1895, Fleming, GA. He married EDITH "EADY" REBECCA HARN May 1846. She was born August 18, 1828, and died September 16, 1901 in Georgia. 6. v. MARY CLARK, b. 1822. She married JESSE E. HAM 7. vi. SOPHIE CLARK, b. 1824; d. 1886, GA. She married JOHN HARN. He was born 1813, and died 1885. 8. vii. JAMES CLARK, JR., b. 1828; d. 1894. He married MARY ESTHER "HETTY" LANE October 21, 1852 I descend from William Clark & Eady Harn. They had a son also named Nicholas J. Clark, which makes me think it is an old family name. The names James, John, Richard, William & Mary appear throughout the family as well. I can find 2 Nicholas Clarks in the 1790 Beaufort Census & 1 in 1800 (Prince William Parish). By 1810, there are none. The paper I received said that the Clarks were Irish, settled in the Carolinas & at least one went to Mississippi & one to Alabama. If any of this information rings a bell to anyone, please let me know. I have been hunting the parents of James Clark to no avail. Other information in this paper I can't tie to anything....Thomas Clark came in 1620 on the Ann & Little James.....Edward & John Clark (brothers ?) came in 1634 on the Boneventure.....can anyone relate? Thanks, Janet Marietta, GA

Janet, I am still looking for any connection in Beaufort SC for Nicholas Clark. Haven't found any but have found some signs they may have been in Augusta, Va, before going to SC. But nothing i can sink my teeth into, HA!!!!!!!!. But the names you gave me sure fit, my Nicholas's son was James J. Clark. Don't know what the J. stands for yet. Still looking, Nan from Ark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <dodson@mindspring.com> To: <CLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 3:21 PM Subject: [CLARKE] Re: Clark's NC/SC to Ark > This is just a shot in the dark, but I couldn't help but notice the name > Nicholas Clark in SC.
