    3. Hello, May I introduce myself as a new subscriber. Your option for a Fulton County email group doing genealogy is new in my experience, although I am also new to genealogical searching so this may be more common that I would have thought. This sounds like a wonderful tool to help people doing genealogical searching--and for making enjoyable contacts. Thank you for having it. I'm in the process of trying to connect with the records of Sarah Royal Stout Clark, her father Thomas Royal (A Revolutionary War veteran buried in Sangamon County where he died in August of 1834), and Sarah and Anthony Stout's daughter Hannah. When Sarah's first husband, Anthony Stout died back in Ohio in about 1817, she remarried Isaac Clark in Miami County, Ohio and they moved to Fulton County where more children were born. (She had had four with Anthony. And Isaac had nine of his own. Together they had six more. Whew!!) It would be nifty to find them all, but our particular interest just now is in Hannah Stout because she married my great great grandfather (David Ward Clark) and we are trying to make the connection back to the Revolutionary War. It seems we have to have something like cemetery records or something more official than just family recollections to prove that Hannah was indeed Sarah's daughter and that Sarah was the same Sarah Royal married to Anthony Stout and then Isaac Clark. I understand that cemetery records are acceptable to the DAR, the organization for which we are doing this. And while we are doing this for the DAR, it is frankly just interesting to learn what we can of the family. Wouldn't it be fun to meet people who actually look a bit like you? Or have mannerisms that are familial? So--I need a death record for Sarah and a marriage record for Sarah and Isaac Clark. ----Marilyn Mayer Wiedemann
