I am grasping at staws but - My gr gr grandfather (George W. Clark) was born about 1832 in Virginia (although the writing in the 1860 Census is difficult to read). He married in Martinsburg about 1858/9. Sometime during the Civil War he migrated to western Maryland. I have nothing on his ancestors. I don't think the George W. Clark in this document is his father but as I said I'm grasping at straws. Does anyone else know of another George W Clark from Virginia, Maryland or North Carolina.
