Sue, A while back, there was information about the very question you asked! It said that Clark was a separate list from Clarke BUT because of the spelling of Clark/Clarke being interchangeable according to census takers it would be best to stay on the Clarke list because it covers both spellings. The Clark list covers only that spelling. To cover all my tracks, I am on both! As you know, I am looking for James Clark b. 1805 or 1809 (census)SC m. Elvina b. 1811 SC. Moved to Marion Co. GA by 1830. Remained their until his death. IF you ever come across my James or a hint of my James let me know. I am a believer in great leaps of faith and shots in the dark! This is a monumental brick wall. He had Kidd and Morrow children living in his household in Marion Co. on the 1850-70 census. The children were b. in SC. Somehow, through all the research, I keep going back to the Waxhaws of NC/SC which includes Anson, Mecklenburg, Union Co. NC and Chester, Lancaster, and York Co. SC. Talk later. Nora Searching for: PHELPS, WEST, CLARK, LEE (two lines), RICHARDSON, GRINER (GREINER), BRUNSON, MCLEOD, GREGORY, PALMER, HICKS, BROWN, CHAPPELL, SCOTT, ACTON, CROCKETT and more. All came to GEORGIA from NY, CT, VA, KY, NC, SC. Most stayed, but some went on to: FL, LA, TX.
