Hi, I've be reading the discussion about the Clark/Clarke. I sometimes think the "e" was a flourish made by some clerk. I've found records for the same person written both ways. What part of WV were your Clarks? Mine were in the Pendleton/Hardy County area about 1780s. Went to Ross/Jackson County, OH about 1800, then Iowa 1840s.
