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.
