    3. 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.
