    1. [KYDAVIES-L] Re: [kybullitt] Roll Call from LINDA
    2. Linda asked to whom Enoch CLARK belonged. With no date or place given, who knows? CLARK/CLARKE is one of the 50 most common surnames in America. (Click on: <A HREF="http://www.lifesmith.com/comnames,html">http://www.lifesmith.com/comnames,html</A> ) It's number 21. As such, Clarks are everywhere. Every nobleman or man of means had a clerk to keep his books and when surnames were adapted around 1200-1300 it was only natural that many of these clerks assumed the name CLERK or CLARK. The English still pronouce clerk as "clark." CLARKs were everywhere and were not necessarily blood kin. I have been trying to connect my Kentucky CLARK family for 50 years without any luck. my gr-grandfather was Elijah CLARK, son of John CLARK and Elizabeth McGREW. Elijah was b. 1853 in Grayson County, KY. John CLARK was b. abt 1821, prob. in KY. His father was Charles R. CLARK, I've been told - no documentation on this. Can anyone help with this massive brick & stone wall? Cookie, a Hoosier in Florida << GreystokeB@aol.com >>
