It says he was born on the eastern shore of Maryland in 1798 and moved with his parents to Ross County when 18 months old. His father died shortly after moving here. In the 1850 census, James Clarke gives Delaware as his state of birth. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pam Dawson > > > ==== CLARKE Mailing List ==== > GenConnect ~ Queries, have one?
