I want to thank the members of the CLARKE-L list who put forth an extensive list of CLARKs/CLARKEs from the Auburn/Clarksville area of New York. They did so in response to my search for my g-g-grandmother, Maria C. (CLARK) WEEKS/WICKS. Unfortunately, given what little I know about her, I can't make a match out of the data. Let me post what little I know about her and throw out a couple of additional thoughts. Maria C. Clark 1. According to the WHITNEY family website (Maria's mother-in-law was Maria Ann Whitney), she was b. 10 May 1823, Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. If this is true, then its possible she is related in some way to the Clarksville group. 2. Maria m. Stephen Weeks/Wicks, 26 Sep 1843, Henrietta Township, Monroe Co., NY. I don't know what she was doing there. Does anyone in the group have Clarks who moved up that way from Cayuga Co.? Does anybody know of an orphaned child (perhaps Maria?) who was raised by Clarks or other relations who moved up to Monroe Co.? Stephen Weeks was the son of Benjamin Weeks and his wife, Maria Whitney. They'd moved to Monroe Co., NY from Fairfield Co., CT. 3. Immediately after Stephen and Maria married, they journeyed with Stephen's two brothers, George Washington Weeks and William Henry Weeks, to Leslie Township, Ingham Co., MI. There, all three brothers homesteaded large tracts of adjoining properties. Each built large homes, one of which remains at its original site, today. Like their parents, they were Baptists. All three brothers and their families are buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Town of Leslie, Ingham Co., MI. 4. Maria C. (Clark) Weeks d. 1 Jul 1862, Leslie Township, Ingham Co., MI, after the birth of her ninth child. She is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery. Two years after her death, Stephen married his second wife, Laura Edwina Reynolds, by whom he had eight more children. This is the sum total of what I know about Maria C. (Clark) Weeks. Does any of it sound familiar to list members? Best Regards, Sally J. (Bolster) Holcombe holcombejr@mindspring.com G-G-Granddaughter of Stephen Weeks/Wicks and his first wife, Maria C. Clark
