Hi! Cloma LEBLANC married Ford FETTERLY about 100 yrs. ago, probably in Vermilion or Arcadia Parish. Ford FETTERLY had been in Minnesota, & some of his siblings moved back up there.

Hi again, Carol, Patrick Clarke and Rachel Melon were married in Baltimore, Maryland. I think he is thought to be of Irish ancestry.

I'm looking for Clark, LeMaire Smith I know the Clarks were on the east coast (perhaps New Jersey). Carol Hi Susie, My Stephens are William Stephens, b. abt 1780, m. to Rachel Walsh Clark.

Hi Carol, My Rachel Walsh Clarke, b. about 1792, in St Martinville, who married William Stephens is my brick wall. On the 1810 LA census it shows a neighbor named James Clarke. I suspect that Rachel is related to this James Clarke but have no way of proving it. I also think that the neighbor, James, was related to the Patrick Clark and Rachel Melone/Melon families. This couple had a bunch of children and grandchildren. I don't know if James Clark is related to them for sure. Do you have anything on a James Clark? If Rachel was born about 1792, she cannot be a daughter of Patrick Francis Clark and Rachel Elizabeth Melon. Francis died in the late 1770s or early 1780s, and Rachel took a second husband, Joshua Garrett. I don't have their marriage date, but their first child was born in 1783. Francis Clark and Rachel Melon had only 2 sons, James and John. John had a daughter named Rachel, who was born about 1797 (baptized in 1801 at age 4), but this Rachel married George Miles Lee in 1815 at Opelousas and they had 12 children before George passed on in 1843. I think she died in Concordia Parish. (Not sure of location). So this is not my Rachel Clark. CLARK, Jean (James CLARK - of Baltimore & living on Bayou Vermillion & Ester COMSTOCK - of Rhode Island) b. 4 July1809, bt. 11 Nov. 1810 Pats: Francois CLARK - of Ireland & Rachel MELON - of Baltimore; Mats: ---- COMSTOCK - of Rhode Island & Rachel ALLREDGE - of Rhode Island; Spons: Jean Baptiste VERDUN & Rachel CLARK, wife of Guillaume (French for William) STEVENS. Fr. Gabriel ISABEY (SM Ch.: v.6, #1014) The above seems to say they are related to James Clark but not how. Asking someone to be a sponsor usually means that they are connected somehow, either by marriage or blood. But I don't know more than this. It's a puzzle alright. Hope you can take my little piece and perhaps put it with something you have and come up with the answer. You can see that Rachel Clark, wife of Guillaume [William] Stevens [Stephens], was one of the sponsors of Jean [John], the youngest son and last known child of James Clark and Esther Comstock. I don't know how sponsors are chosen, but it appears that they may or may not be relatives of the person baptized. Thus, this entry could indicate that Rachel was indeed a relative or just a friend of the family. The above is cut and pasted from my notes and so this letter is a bit choppy. Let me know if you want more on the Clarks that I may be related to and thanks for replying to my query.

My 3rd great-grandfather was Shadrach PORTER b. 10 August 1780 in Union County, SC d. 17 July 1827 in St. Martin Parish, LA. I have 5 Andrew Jackson PORTERs in my database, but with very little information on any of them - a Jr. and Sr. in my own line, a Jr. and Sr. in Shadrach's Uncle Jedithan's line, and another one I'm not quite sure from where.... I'm afraid modern researchers get them (and a few more...) very mixed up since Shadrach's uncles, brothers, and children often named their children the same names, all the way from South Carolina, through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and on to Texas. I, also, am VERY interested in anyone who is SURE they have correct information on any part of this family, but I have become VERY confused through the last 5 to 7 years with supposedly "authoritative" information that turns out to be info mixed with two, three, four, or five of these people by the same name. What we really ALL need to do is get one of our relatives in each of the states this family has passed through, or settled in, to go directly to the record sources, copy the information exactly, and put it on the Web so everyone can "get his or her ducks lined up in CORRECT rows", so to speak. There are MANY researchers on this family, and quite a few are still arguing about this or that detail! If you, or anyone else, wants any of my info (which of course has often come from many kind sources whom I list in my records...), almost all of it can be found on Rootsweb's WorldConnect database site at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/~bcvs It is downloadable to your own computer in up to 10-generations-at-a-time chunks. PLEASE, though, SHARE with me any corrections or additions, if you would be so kind so we don't keep spreading incorrect stuff around! I am partially-disabled from an old car accident, so I often can't reply to your notes unless you copy them daily for a week or so ;-) and keep resending them until I get the energy to remember to try to answer them. It certainly isn't because I'm not VERY interested in what you have to say; it's just very difficult for me to type a worthwhile reply and/or go through my heavy original records in order to check information... A chronically-dislocating shoulder and resultant chronic-pain syndrome make it very problematic for doing genealogy. Still, I am a former public-high-school history teacher, so I DO TRY to be as accurate as possible with notes and sources, etc., despite the fact that being stuck in Ohio most of the time makes me very dependent on other kind relatives to do the travelling to SC, Mississippi, and Louisiana, or even my own wonderful hometown of Cincinnati's library and LDS FHC. My direct line is as follows: Edward PORTER b. England>Thomas PORTER>John PORTER b. 1695 Lancaster Co., VA>Edward Sanders PORTER b. 1720 Lancaster Co., VA d. 1792 Union Co., SC>Landlot (Lancelot) PORTER b. ca. 1744 Lancaster Co., VA d. 1831 Hinds Co., Mississippi>Shadrach PORTER b. 1780 Union Co., SC d. 1827 St. Martin Parish, LA>James Monroe PORTER b. 1819 St. Landry Parish, LA d. 1870 St. Landry Parish, LA>Jamie "Jimmie" Evelina PORTER b. 1864 Coldspring, San Jacinto Co., TX d. 1936 New Orleans, LA (this last woman was my maternal great-grandmother)>Ashton Michael CARROLL b. 1883 Bay St. Louis, Mississippi/registered in New Orleans birth records>Patricia Bruce CARROLL VOLZ b. 1929 Cincinnati, OH>me b. 1951 Cincinnati! Linda, a last favor - tell me about your "BRUCE" surname; as you can see, it's my mother's middle name, and comes from somewhere back in her family's history, but we haven't located the connection yet...
