Hi... I have a Joseph and son William Clark born in those time frames. Joseph died 1838 in Giles Co., TN... Is that near Claiborne County? I have Joseph's wife as Ruth ALEXANDER and she went to IA with son James after Joseph died... Mention my ref #17137 if you think there is a match and I'll post some more info...
