Looking for the parents of my ggg Grandfather, William Clark of Ninety Six Dist. (Edgefield) SC. He moved to the Sabine Dist. of Texas about 1821, received a Mexican Land Grant in the Lorenzo De Zavala Colony, married Elizabeth Isaacs on March 16, 1812 in Amite County, Mississippi and married Mahala Graham (my ggg Grandmother) December 21, 1836 in Sabine District of Texas.

I think we've talked before. They were my great grandparents. I've been searching for several years and have not been able to find out who their parents were. One man who is related to us thinks that there is a connection with General Elijah Clark of Georgia. He moved from the Carolinas to Georgia. He had a son named John who moved from Georgia to Mississippi. My father always said the Clarks came from Macon, Georgia. I don't know if that was Macon the city, or Macon County. William did of course move from Mississippi to Texas. Do you have any information about Georgia? This month I am going to a family reunion in Newton, Co., Texas, where a lot of Clarks still live. I am going to take everything I have to a cousin of mine who knows more than anyone else about our family's history and see if it checks out with the info. he has. If I learn anything new I'll let you know. Jimmy Clark Jimmy
