Charles SLEDGE was born 1650 in Shropshire, England, and died 1726 in Surrey County, Virginia. He married Mary (CLARKE)(*) CLARK Abt. 1700 in Surrey County, Virginia, daughter of Robert CLARK and Mary FLAKE (?). Thanks in advance for all your help, Lainee Denton >> Dear Lainee, Hello. Reading and agreeing with you all in the open replies that help everyone and noticed that you mentioned Robert CLARK/CLARKE and Mary FLAKE. I am wondering and investigating whether my 6th great grandfather, Robert CLARKE, born: abt. 1688 in Edgecombe Co., NC, who married Jean ?, might be a descendant of Robert CLARKE/CLARK/CLERKE and Mary FLAKE but hadn't found anything confirming that yet. And, if not, who the parents of Robert CLARKE might be. I descend through Jean ? and Robert CLARKE's daughter, Hannah CLARKE, who married Jacob UNDERWOOD, (son of Thomas (2) UNDERWOOD, son of Thomas (1) UNDERWOOD,) and their daughter, Sarah "Sally" UNDERWOOD who married Lewis Lamkin HATTEN, and their son, William HATTEN, born: 1800 in Tar River, Nash Co., NC, who married Frances Lucretia "Patsy" LOTT, born: abt. 1802 in AL, (daughter of Martha Jane Dorsey? LIGHTFOOT, born: abt. 1763, md: 1781, and Absalom LOTT, (grandson of John (2) LOTT and Elizabeth JOYNER, (daughter of Elizabeth BROWN and John JOYNER, (son of Bridgeman JOYNER and Ann HARRIS.) Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might have information regarding my Robert CLARKE/CLARK/CLERKE's parents. In advance, I thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett BandB4951@aol.com
