I want people to find me who find my postings. Some don't seem to be able to even look in a phone book. I put in the phone hoping someone will be excited enough to pick up the phone and call.

Website: <http://www.jps.net/jtackitt/index.html> Wow! Talk about service! This was great! I was hoping for some help but this was undreamed of. Here's a fuller picture without tracing out other lines: Rod Bias (1944) son of Roy Bias (1907) son of Sarah Frances Perry (1882) daughter of Alice Clark (10 Aug 1857) daughter of Daniel R. Clark and Sarah Frances Etter >From family records handed down from previous generations I have these children of Daniel and Sarah CLARK: Alice Clark (31 Mar 1860) -- Yes, it contradicts the above! Anga Clark (1862) Jane Clark (1864) Roxie Clark (1865) Mont Clark (1867) Henry Clark (1869) Malissa Clark (1872) Willie Clark (12 Oct 1874) Robert Clark (1876) Who is Nathaniel R. Etters? How does he figure in? At first, I thought he performed the wedding ceremony. Then I realized that had to be the Baptist Preacher. Was this some kind of formal declaration by the best man or something? I don't want to be a pest; but, how much more do you have on CLARKs and ETTERs? This is like falling in a gold mine! -- Rod.Bias@ASU.Edu Rodney L. Bias (602) 438-9202 4648 East Saint Catherine Avenue Phoenix, Arizona 85040-5369 USA
