Hi all... Welcome Clark is not that common a Clark name, since I only have 4 in my data base of 25,000 Clark names. I have, in my data base, the Henry mentioned below as well as the Aaron mentioned below as parents of a Welcome Clark(e). The others resided in the Northern states and are possibly connected somehow... Since this discussion started with Joseph and Jemima, perhaps we can all benefit with some more information and possibly connect all of these lines? Would anybody who has a Welcome Clark post his vital info (b. mar. d. dates and locations) as well as his spouse and her vitals? (and parents if it's not too much to ask?) If your genealogy program can create a descendant text report, that is the best source of this info, but may be too large for this type of message board. You can send it to me directly (Start with your earliest Clark and end around the year 1900) and I'll search my data base for matches and I'll send you back what I have in my files along with sources....
