They had two girls, Cailen and Myrtie. I would love to have copies of the pictures. If you could have copies made I would be more than willing to pay for the copies and for postage. Beverly and I live very close to each other and we share pictures and information. The Clark that Dona married was a sibling to several Clarks that married into the Booty, Dowden and Funderburk families. Two of James Clark's brothers married two of my grandmother's sisters, one of his sisters married my grandmother's brother. Two other brothers married Dowden women. The William Daniel Middleton Dowden, Jr (he was called Ripper) that you mentioned died in January of this year. We are trying to get his information placed in a library in Natchitoches. Please contact me at my e-mail address regarding the pictures and if you are willing to make copies I will send you my address. Many thanks, Elaine
