In regard to Alexander CLARK b: 1770-1776 SC and Nancy Agnes fMcGaw SC...7 children.. do you have any more information on the descendants of their children? Wm, Mary, ALEXANDER & JOHN? Is there any connection of them in Canada? Scotland? or New England? I am still searching for my ALEXANDER CLARK, b:ca 1844, Scotland? married: Place unknown. MARY BOYD, b:28 Oct 1850, Middle Church, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland. Mary was D/O: John BOYD ,b:ca 1811 to 29, place unk.& Mary GUTHRIE, b: 27 Oct 1829, Paisley, Renfrew, Scot. Mary GUTHRIE was D/O: William GUTHRIE and Mary NEIL, perhaps Renfrew, Scot. Need to find the Parents, Ancestors, Siblings, Emigration etc on ALEXANDER CLARK. KNOWN FACTS: ALEXANDER CLARK & MARY BOYD had a daughter: Mary CLARK, b: 10 Oct 1872, Grantham, Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada (near St. Catherine, Ontario, Can.) (Per Birth Register.) The Birth Register stated that Mary BOYD was living in Grantham, Lincoln Co. with Her Parents on 1871 Ont. Census; and Alexander CLARK was in Merritton, Lincoln Co. Ont. Can. (NO MARRIAGE RECORD FOUND.) (Assume marriage ca 1871.) Did not find on 1871 Census..unless he may be the one with close matching criteria in North Middlesex, Ontario, Can. Later, THEY had at least one Son: My Grandfather: William Alexander CLARK, b: Feb 1877, Merritton, Lincoln Co. Ont. Can. Probably had other Children. My Grandfather, emigrated from Niagara Falls, Ont. Can. to Buffalo, Erie co. NY on 1 Apirl 1879 via NY Central Railway.

Mary BOYD CLARK's Siblings in 1880 RI were: Wm., Archibald, and John plus Sister: Margaret Fairbairn BOYD. I have the death certificates on the three Brothers...but nothing on the women. There were two related names on the Death Certificates: John ADAMS (Sister in law or Brother - in-law?) and Janet WILSON (who was listed as Niece)..; However, the three Brothers were listed as being "SINGLE." .. My Grandfather: William Alexander CLARK grew up in MASS. , worked in MASS and married Mary Cecelia DOYLE from Worcester, MA. They, however, actually married in St. Joseph's Cathedral, Buffalo, Erie Co. NY. on 8 May 1907, and then resided in Worcester for awhile.
