--WebTV-Mail-15092-5928 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Shirley Your name is also familier to me. Maybe from the Dale County website. But your husbands names are more familier. My mother was Roxey Ann Clark daughter of Wm. Henry Clark. Her sister Minnie L. Clark married Isreal Garner. Her sister Mandy Jane Clark married General Clayton Brackin. Her brother Wm. Harvey Clark married Mary L. Williams. They had one bro Wesley Clark who was killed in a hurricane 1926 in Fl. My Uncle William Harvey Clark lived in Houston County near Cottonwood untill his death in 1956. He was 78 yrs old, some of his children are buried in Madrid Cemertary in Houston County. My Aunt Mandy Clark Brackin lived there also. My mother had lots of brothers and sisters who she had lost track of after their mothers had died. 7 of the children had been sold or given away. My mother was raised by a stepmother. It has been said my grandfather had been married 7 times. When i was abt 7 or 8 yrs old. We went to Holmes County to a Clark Family reunion. I don't remember if it was her bros or an Uncle. But i do know she had two bros who moved to Fl. And an Uncle. Her bro William Harvey Clark's son Buster Clark moved to Green Cove Springs Fl. and his daughter Frances Kelly lives there now. Well I am sorry, i get carried away when i talk abt my kin. I only wish i had listened to my mother more closely when she talked abt her family. It would have been much easier to find them now. If you have any info on the Clark's , I would be glad to share. I belong to several Clark Groups and have gathered alot of info. But this is one crazy mixed up bunch. Every family has the same names handed down from each family. It is hard to tell who belongs where. I think every man and woman was married at least 3 or 4 times. Thanks for letting me bend your ear. If i get to be a pest to anyone, just tell me .
