Posted on: Clarke Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Clarke/10272 Surname: Clark, Clarke, Leavitt, Cook, Elliot ------------------------- My late Mom's research showed her g-g-grandfather to be John Clark, Jr of Campton, NH, son of John Clark and Lydia Leavitt. That has proven to be wrong. So, I am back to looking for the family of a John Clark, Jr, b.17 Sep 1788, Holderness, Grafton, NH, who married 4 Mar 1812, Plymouth, NH, Sally/Sarah Cook, b.20 Nov 1784, dau of Lieut Moody Cook and Sarah Elliot. My John Clark and Sarah Cook had five children: Charles/1815, Moody/1818, John N./1820, Sarah/1821 and Lydia/1826, all born in Campton, Grafton, NH, and all moved to LaSalle Co, IL in 1839. [Refs: Baldwin's History of LaSalle Co, IL, and Stearns' History of Plymouth, NH, Vol II] In the process of researching this, I made a Gedcom file of the entire George K. Clarke book, "Genealogy of the Descendants of Nathaniel Clarke of Newbury, Mass. Ten Generations 1642-1885", 2nd Ed. (Boston, Press of T.R. Marvin & Son. 1885) If you would like a copy of the Gedcom, send an email to million@cusave.com -- I will return your email via Reply, with the 354KB Gedcom attached. Any help you can provide identifying the correct family of my John Clark, Jr, b.17 Sep 1788, would be appreciated (but not required).
