There is an Absolom Clark listed on the 1860 Ky Census. I ran across it looking for my gggrandfather Daniel Clark. You will find it in Fleming County, Ky. Absolom and his wife had a lot of children but I'm sorry I don't remember what there names were. Fleming County, has a page under roots web I think. But if you can't find it email me back and I will get that info for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joy Buzzard" <jbuzzard@thediocese.net> To: <CLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 8:24 AM Subject: Re: [CLARKE] CLARK - Henry Co., VA - 1778 to 1830; TN - 1831 to 1848; IN - ... > My g-grandfather was Marion Edward Clark b. 1851 IN, his father was Absalom > Clark b. about 1807 don't know where.
