Hi Margaret.. I only have three Welcome CLARK(E) in my data base of 25,000 Clarks! Have you looked at the census records of 1810, 1820, 1830 of Brookfield, Madison Co., NY? Or church records? If you find some head of household; _______ Clark(e), with residents that fit the ages of the kids that he had, then you might have a possible good match. Possibly you might find a Welcome Clark(e) which would be a real strong possibility... From Joe ARLT........joearlt@juno.com......CLARK Clearing House...
