Yes, I believe this is the Pikeville family that does not appear related to mine. At the same time, both the naming patterns and migration route of this family (mine went to Madison Co AR) suggests that there could be an earlier connection. If you have any direct male Clark descendants in your family, it would be worth your while to see if someone would be willing to participate in the Clark dna project. My husband has already been tested and we have one match--a branch of the family that migrated to Arkansas. We are hoping for other PA, NC and SC families to test--primarily lines that descend from Scot-Irish Clarks who were in Lancaster & York Counties in PA, Orange, Guilford, Randolph & Rowan Counties in NC, and York Co in SC. Descendants of these families who potentially could match migrated to Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Iowa, Texas, Georgia, Alabama and parts West, including California, Washington & Alaska.

His father was James Harvey Clark from NC, who is our brick wall. We believe they were in Roane Co., TN in 1840 and 1850 before migrating to Newton Co., AR about 1855. 1830 Bledsoe Co., TN Census James Clark 1 2 3 - - 1 - - - - - - - | - 1 - - 1 - - Son? <5 Kimbrell? 5 - 10 William 5 - 10 Thomas 10 - 15 Abraham 10 - 15 John 10 - 15 James 30 - 40 Dau? 5 - 10 Nancy 20 - 30 1840 Roane Co., TN Census Page 86 and 87 Role 535 James Clark 1 - 1 1 1 - 1 - - - - - - | - 2 1 - - 1 - Benjamin <5 Kimbrell? 10 - 15 William 15 - 20 Abraham 20 - 30 James 40 - 50 Rachel and Elizabeth 5 - 10 Dau? 10 - 15 Nancy 30 - 40 1850 Roane Co., TN, 20th Subdivision 36 38 James Clark 55 m Farmer TN Nancy 49 f TN Rachal 18 f TN Elizabeth 16 f TN Benjamin 12 m TN Nancy J. 8 f TN Margaret 4 f TN 1850 Roane County, Tennessee Census: Abram H.
