I am still trying to surmount my brick wall = that of Banjamin Franklin Clark. He is one of those southern CLarks with roots in NC. He was born in 1857 Mobile, Ala., married in Manatee Co., Fla, 1881. It is speculated that his father was a John, b/1796 in NC subsequently moving to Miss.,( according to Wayne Co., Miss.1850 census). He married a Delaney (unk) b/SC. They had 13 children, ages 19-1 yr old, all born in Miss except B.F. (according to the census). I have been unable to do much research beyond B.F because I can't prove any connection to John -just circumstantial thru his sister Adelain or Adelaid, so therefore am unable to push back. I have info on Florida descendents. I have been researching this line for some time, up and down blind allies and some wild goose chases. I just recently found the possible connection to John, but nothing to go on other than the little sister mentioned above. Any help appreciated. Billie M. Sweat whispval@netxpress.com
