Hi, Just got the email about "researching descendants of David and Sarah Winans Clark..." Can you elaborate? I'm something of a novice to this site, so I'm not sure how it works. However, I AM a descendant of David and Sarah Winans Clark and am very interested in any genealogy that is being put together. I've reached a stumbling block with DAR over the death of Anthony Stout, Sarah's father. He seems to have died in Ohio around 1810, but there are no records, and his wife went on to marry Isaac Clark--while her daughter married David. DAR wants death certificate or proof of Anthony's death (probably thinking poor "Sally", Sarah's mom, committed polygamy. Not so. But I think record keeping in the West was a little more primitive than in the East at that time. Thanks for any help you can provide. And I can provide a lot of stuff myself. I've got all the handwritten research that David Clark put together, and then Robert, for the family--but DAR doesn't seem to recognize these family records. Or maybe I'm overstating the case. ---Marilyn Mayer Wiedemann 630-858-2091 p.s. for whom are you researching the David and Sarah Winans Clark information? Just curious. Another relative I don't know about???? That would be fun to find. I've had to back off research because of some other business here at home, but I'd love to get it all straightened out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Rothwell" <historysleuth@gmail.com> To: <ILFULTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2006 2:19 PM Subject: [ILFULTON] Welcome > Please welcome MaryLynne Perkins-Ellis as the new CC of Fulton County > ILGenWeb.

I am a double descendant of David and Sarah Winans Clark. The Clarks are very tricky. There are multiple David Clarks and multiple Sarah Winans who married Clarks. I'll get back to you off on the details of those Clarks who were never in Fulton County. Hannah's mother married Isaac in Ohio before they went to Fulton County. Cheryl Rothwell

By any chance anyone have a Ray Clark who died in california? He was accidentally kiled by a gunshot wound-selfinflcited while cleaning. Not sure when he was born or where but he died before 1960. He married an Elinor LEWIS On 4/16/06, Cheryl Rothwell <historysleuth@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am a double descendant of David and Sarah Winans Clark. The Clarks are > very tricky.

Hi, Just reviewing this email on Clarks and have a couple of questions: 1. Why do you reference "Hannah Clark" who DID get to Fulton County, while saying the Clarks in question did NOT get to Fulton County? Is the questioner referencing the same family or a different family? i.e. Did a member of David Ward Clark's family move to California? 2. I have the order as follows: David Ward Clark, son of John Winans Clark and Ann Isgrig Clark, was born September 30, 1809 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. His wife, Hannah Stout, daughter of Anthony and Sarah Royal Stout, was born December 27, 1810 in Green County, PA. 3. Hannah's mother, Sarah (Sally) Royal Stout, remarried after her husband Anthony died in Butler County. She moved with her four children (Hannah being one of them) to Miami County, Ohio where she married David's uncle Isaac in 1821. He was a widower with nine children. Hannah set out in the company of the family of Rev. David Clark, another of David's uncles, for the Illinois country where they arrived in Sangamon County, IL December 27, 1829. David Ward Clark followed after her (by walking the full 300 miles down the National Road, and swimming a few rivers, being without cash) a year later, arriving September 30, 1830 and marrying Hannah, who was still living with the Reverend Clark, in Springfield July 7, 1831. These I have through the genealogical records of David Ward Clark, transcribed with additional material, by Robert Davis Clark and his grandson, Robert W. Mayer (who self-published a book with much of this material, including photgraphs.) But I'm still stuck trying to prove the death of Anthony Stout back in Ohio. ---M.
