Thanks for your inquiries. I am at work now but will check things out tonight and reply with what I find. John Clarke had a couple/few of his kids who reproduced like rabbits from what I can remember, ditto a couple of the Manions. Will see if any clues I have match up with your inquiries. It seems you almost had to have many children to ensure a line of succession. So many died so young and then you have the religious factor with some joining the Church and then some who just felt the single life was the way to go. Most of my Clarkes and Manions, if they emmigrated (and many did), emigrated to the States. My direct line went to West Va. and then to Ohio. However, I know there are some of my Clarkes in Iowa and Indiana &/or Illinois. Even have descendants in Louisianna. I am not conversant on all of them and really have to look it up for what details I have. I know I recall seeing something about Australia, too. I promise to get back to you tonight or early tomorrow. TGIF Mary Jo
