Hi Cassy, Thanks for your reply... I appreciate it. I'll keep a copy of your CLARK info. I don't know at this point though if our CLARKs are connected. I now realize that the Joseph CLARK born @1851 in Aldenham with a sister Susan isn't mine after all, so I guess that might rule out any connections through the name Susan. And so far, I don't have the surname FRANKLIN family in my tree... maybe one day! Take care, Susan
