Hi Cookie!! Don't know if this will help or tie in with your Clark line but there is a Elijah Clark State Park in Lincolnton, GA near S. Carolina line. Think part of the Clark Hill Reservior is actually in S. Carolina. According to a booklet I have on State Parks of GA. the park is named in honor of the Revolutionary War hero and frontiersman, Elijah Clark." He is credited with organizing a group of pioneers to win many battles during the war, and his victory at Kettle Creek was a turning point in the war against the British. A museum details the war hero's life....... Elijah and his wife, Hannah are buried in the park". There is also a replica of his log cabin etc etc. I can't remember what names you are researching on the Germanna list, but just above Lincoln Co., GA is Elbert Co. where my Wilhite/Wilhoit were in 1728 if not before. Hope this is of some help to you. Nancy Subject: [KYDAVIES-L] Re: clark family Thanks for your friendly response, Faye, My CLARK family was from Warrick County, Indiana, in the last half of the 1800s. Before that they lived across the Ohio River in Grayson, Hancock, and Daviess Counties, Kentucky. Before that... I have NO idea. My father's mother was born Myrtle Belle CLARK, born in Warrick County, Indiana, in 1883. Her father was Elijah CLARK, born in Grayson County, KY, in 1853, the son of John CLARK and Elizabeth McGREW. This much was told to me by my grandmother and her sister. Her sister also added that she thought John's middle initial was "T," but she was not sure. John was supposedly born in Kentucky about 1821, a son of a Charles R. CLARK. I have no documentation for this. That is the extent of my knowledge. Where they lived before coming to Kentucky I have no idea. Could very well be North Carolina - a lot of Carolina people settled in Kentucky. Likewise, a lot from Virginia did also. And, since they lived along the Ohio River, there's a chance the family came down the river from New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,or Maryland. It is a mystery. I would be very grateful for any tidbit of information that would point me in the right direction. I am sending this to several other Kentucky lists hoping that just maybe someone out there has an inkling. Thanks again for your response. Happy hunting.

I posted a reply to your message board reply to me but I'm not sure it went through so I'm backing it up with a straight e-mail to the list. Thanks for your reply. I'm descended from an Elijah CLARK. Can we talk via e-mail? My CLARK family is from the Kentucky area encompassing Daviess, Hancock, and Grayson Counties. This has been a brick wall for me for over 40 years! I look forward to hearing from you. Cookie, a Hoosier in Florida << GreystokeB@aol.com >>

Dear L.G,, Two things I'd like to ask you about: 1) Do you know anything about the CLARK family of your friend, Faye Bryan CLARK? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated, and 2) I'm interested in your HOGUE family. I have an Isaac HOLTZCLAW marrying an Eliza Jane HOGUE, June 30, 1853, in Jefferson County, KY. That's Louisville's county. Does your HOGUE family have roots in Kentucky? Do you live in Kentucky? Any help you can give me on either one or both of the above will be most sincerely appreciated.

Stanley, Indiana is no longer on the map. It's one of those towns that suffered the same fate as Paradise, Kentucky - "Mr. Peabody's coal train done hauled it away." Actually, the site is still there but there is no evidence that there was ever a community there. The surrounding area has been so cut up by strip mines that you can hardly get there any more. If you draw a line due east of Elberfeld in Warrick County and another line due north of Chandler in Warrick County, the inter- section of the two lines will fairly well approximate the former location of Stanley, Indiana. Just a short distance to the west is Barnett's Chapel Church and Cemetery where several members of my COOK family are buried. Best wishes. Cookie, a Hoosier in Florida << GreystokeB@aol.com >>

Can anyone on the list tell me if there are naturalization records for Daviess Co., KY pre-1850's and post-1850's? Thank you, VA

I just received some more ideas for research. I am interested in the idea of a ferry crossing just about south of where Stanley is located and trying to figure out at which point it would have come into the Indiana side. Also, checking the names of the roads that run into the river is a great idea..assuming they have the word "ferry" attached to the name of the road. What prompted this whole thought process is this: An ancestor, Conrad Heppler, married in 1852, was a tailor in Newburgh,IN. He evidently lived with is father-in-law, Charles Hebbard, until his C. Hebbard's death in 1860. It appears that the Heppler family moved back and forth across the river from, I presume, Daviess County to Warrick County. I think, Daviess County and not Henderson County, as the Charles Hebbard's will was probated in Daviess County and his property was located there between Stanley and Reed. Evidently, Charles Hebbard (for whom Hebbardsville was named) left Henderson County and settled in the extreme west side of Daviess County. My great-grandmother, daughter of Conrad & Bathsheba Heppler, had a rather unusual first name. I have discovered that if one follows the Yankeetown Road in Warrick County as it heads a little northward, there is a short, little road jutting off Yankeetown Rd. with the name of my great-grandmother. Thus, I have wondered if my ancestors lived on that road back in the 1850s..1860s. I was unable to get any information from the courthouse in Boonville, IN as to the naming of the road. I wondered if there was a ferry crossing the river from a point to the southern most end of Yankeetown Road. Just a little curiosity on my part. Marilyn

I too know about the Ferries on the Ohio River. I used to cross the river at Hawesville when I was working on the Dam that replaced the Owensboro Dam # 46 . That Ferry went to Cannelton Ind. I used to do some water skiing when I was younger and I nearly always put the Boat in at the old Wilson Ferry site about 4 miles west of Owensboro. The Wilson Ferry went from Close to Stanley Ky to Close to Hatfield Ind. There was a Ferry that crossed at Rockport Ind and Landed at about 1/2 mile west of the new Bridge that is about to open this Month. Bob Norris

I am helping a good friend of mine, Faye BRYANT Clark, look for BRYANT family information. Her parents were divorced when she was around 6 or 7 and there was very little contact with her dad after the divorce. Her mom remarried and was married to Faye's stepdad for over 50 years. Faye's dad was Blair Leonard BRYANT, born 1910 in Clarksville, TN and died in 1986 in Owensboro, KY. His parents were John H. BRYANT and Ellie SHEPARD. (all of this information came from a Social Security record and she isn't 100% sure all that info is correct because her mom vaguely remembers - and she is 94 now - that she was the one that filled out the social security information card for Blair, not Blair himself). Faye believes that Blair had a sister Helen and a son named Charles. Faye's mom's name is Ruby (Her maiden name was THIGPEN). Faye would love to put together a family tree for her grandchildren, but has nothing at all to go on as far as her biological dad's family is involved. A! ny information that would help her to plug into the "right" BRYANT family would be greatly appreciated. Sooo, the jest of this is ... we are looking for the Blair Leonard BRYANT family with birth/death dates of 1910 to 1986 for Blair himself - or other family members that are possibly living or buried in the Owensville Area. Thanks again for all the efforts you put forth in helping others that are unable to travel such distances to further their research. Hope your weekend is a great one.

Can anyone help me with a marriage in Grayson County. My great grandfather George Duncan born 1842 died unknown married the mother of Litter Latish Duncan born May 29, 1864. Apparently Liddia's mother died sometime after her birth and George Duncan remarried as Liddia is on the Grayson County census with her grandfather Samuel Duncan after that. Thanks

The comments about ferries crossing the Ohio has stirred my interest. My great-grandfather, Elijah CLARK, b. 1853 in Grayson Co., KY, and son of John CLARK and Elizabeth McGREW, moved to Warrick Co., IN, where he married my gr-grandmother, Martha Jean WILLIS. Family tradition says he came from Hawesville, KY. I have often wondered how he crossed the Ohio. Was there a ferry near Hawesville? Maybe to Rockport, IN? I am familiar with Cypress Beach, above Newburgh and immediately below Vanada Station. My mother and father went there in the '20s to a dance hall and when I was in college at Evansville, in the late '40s, my buddy and I, and our future wives, would go up there to picnic and barbecue in the early evening. It was the site of a high bluff, beneath which Cypress Creek entered the Ohio River - very scenic. We used rocks which had fallen from the bluff to make a barbecue pit above the beach. And, I seem to remember a concrete roadway leading into the water, probably the site of the old ferry landing. This has all changed now - the creek was diverted and now enters the Ohio about a mile up river. This was done to make way for the construction of a new, large dam, replacing old dam # 47 at Newburgh, On top of the high bluff, once the site of a beautiful home, there is now a lovely park and overlook for people to look down on the dam and to survey the river for quite a distance up and down stream. I will appreciate hearing more about the ferries. Cookie, a Hoosier in Florida << GreystokeB@aol.com >>
