Hi, I just happened to know for sure that is how my Clarkes spelled their name as I have done very extensive research on them. I do understand what you are saying as I have other names that can be spelled in various ways, and we all know how many time records, especially it seems, the census records spell people's names wrong. I just was explaining that I had already posted last week and I was merely responding to someone else's question directed toward me.
