A fellow Clark researcher just e-mailed me a portrait image of Elijah Clarke of Georgia with the following caption: "Among the few heroes of the Revolutionary War from Georgia, Elijah Clarke (sometimes spelled Clark) was born in 1742, the son of John Clarke of Anson County, North Carolina. He married Hannah Harrington around 1763. As an impoverished, illiterate frontiersman, he appeared in the ceded lands, on what was then the northwestern frontier of Georgia, in 1773." The interesting thing about Elijah Clarke is that he has the same distinctive chin that characterizes some of the males in our Clark line--descendants of Thomas Clark of Pulaski Co KY b. 1755. Is any descendant of Elijah Clarke participating in the Clark dna project? Fay Clark

Fay, Not having seen the picture I will have to ask. Does he have what we call a "cleft" chin? -- sort of an indentation in the middle? That is a trait in our CLARK line. I have been told that one descendant of Elijah Clark has participated in the DNA project. I am taking the word of someone else on this. I do think it is always better to have two "known" descendants pariticipate in the DNA study just to verify that there wasn't another father involved along the way. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fay Clark" <gmcflc@bellsouth.net> To: <CLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2005 5:01 PM Subject: [Clarke-Clark] Elijah Clarke b. 1742, s/o John Clarke of Anson Co NC >A fellow Clark researcher just e-mailed me a portrait image of Elijah >Clarke > of Georgia with the following caption: > > "Among the few heroes of the Revolutionary War from Georgia, Elijah Clarke > (sometimes spelled Clark) was born in 1742, the son of John Clarke of > Anson > County, North Carolina.

Tom, I can't post an image to the list, but I'll be glad to e-mail it to you directly.
