The only info is what I listed below in my original reply... stating he was here in 1830-31. ----- Original Message ----- From: Donna To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [Clarke-Clark]Thomas Clark/No. GA. Clarks I will go back and reread what info I have on him and maybe will get more clues. I know his brother, James Clark, was at one time in Warren Co., TN and then moved to Madison Co., AR. I know James was b. in NC, but I don't know about Thomas. I would have to look at info, because I haven't done genealogy in a while so have forgotten. Does the book say much about the Thomas Clark listed there? Thanks!
