I am thinking that Big Flats is in the Chemung, Schuyler, or Tioga Counties area of New York State. I have a herd (Clan) of Clark's that lived in these areas. Some would later move westward and some others stayed in the area. My fourth Great Grandfather Elias Clark had two sons named James and Josiah that I have not been able to find much information about their families. I know that one of the sons also went by Elias Jr... Elias Sr. and Elias Jr. are all listed in the 1830 Census as living in Wayne in Steuben County, New York. > Elias Jr. had several sons. Elias Sr. is documented to have lived in Connecticut in his earlier years. I have considerable documentation on this line. I do believe this warrants more discussion.
