Margaret sent me this additional information in response to post and kindly permitted me to send on to the list: Re: Irish Revolutionary -- Thomas J. CLARKE born Isle of Wight to Irish Parents "Just a side note - Thomas's son Thomas married one of my WALSH relations. That line eventually found its way back to the Isle of Wight. I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with one of them about a year ago when he made a trip over here. He told of his grand dad who kept a letter written by Thomas in his jail cell in his billfold. Toward the end of his life the Nuns had a fit that such an "important document" be treated in such a way. So to the Nuns it went as remembrance of a man they thought was a Saint." Margaret
