Beverly, I don't know HOW they connect but I'm pretty sure they do. I have a BAILEY T. CLARK in the 1850 census of Wood Co., VA (WV).: They all lived in the same place at the same time. Here's what I have for you: This info was sent to me by Camille Ammerman. I think I met her through the Wirt Co.,WV list. Bailey T. Clark 40 MD Merchant: Elizabeth 26 VA: Marcellus 21 MD Clerk: Fanny Cole 07 VA. Elizabeth is probably a second wife. Bailey is most likely Marcellus' father, Bailey is not found on the 1860 census. No marriage for Bailey is found in either county. My ISAAC O. CLARK (son of JAMES CLARK), named his first son B. MARCELLUS. Could B. stand for BAILEY? Hope this helps and if you know any more about my James I would love to hear about it. Betty
