Do you have a John Wesley Clark Jr. in your files---married Mary (Alice?) Thompson, formerly from Covington, married 1876 in Bradford? He was a minister, was married several times. Mary died in childbirth with Mary Ellen Clark 12-5-1881, my great-grandmother. Their was a set of twin uncles (sibs) of John Sr(also a minister) who were very tall for the time.
