Does anyone have the children of Robert Clarke and Ann Jenkins? It would appear they had at least two and possibly three children who married Semmes/Simms siblings? I have William Clark married to Mary Ann Sims/Semmes, daughter of Joseph Semmes and Catherine Culver. His brother Robert married to her sister Henrietta. Another sister Ann also married a Clarke. Thomas Clarke died 29 August 1796 in Georgetown. Was he a brother of William and Robert? Jackie

Jackie, You say in this post that Mary ann SEMMES married William CLARKE and that he was the brother of a Robert CLARKE that married Henrietta SEMMS. Do you have some documentation, because although I have this data, I have nothing to prove it. Then you speak of a Robert Clarke who married an Ann JENKINS. I have no information on any Robert CLARKE who married Ann JENKINS, nor do I have a Robert Clarke who married Henrietta SEMMES. But in another post of yours you are saying that Ann SEMMES married a Thomas CLARK- if I understood you previously. So looks like we have three sisters who all married CLARKE men, if two of the are brothers, the third might be as well Linda - Well then that makes two of us. I have the later Verlinda as the daughter of Joseph Semmes and Catherine Culver and m. to John Jarboe who d. 1842 in the 73rd year of his age. Joseph was the son of Electius and Verlinda - and btw - I do agree with you that Verlinda is probably Green and the McAtee was confused from a later generation. In 1790 Joseph Semmes/Simms was the head of a family in Montgomery (Co., MD) with 4 males under 16 yrs of age, 3 females and seven slaves. He died intestate on December 28, 1791. The administration was granted to his widow with Jesse Bailey and Robert Clarke as her bondsmen. On November 6, 1793, the heirs gave their receipts to Mrs. Catherine Simms, executrix of Joseph Simms, late of Montgomery (Co., MD). The heirs were, Joseph Milburn Simms, Ann Clarke, Ann Fowler and Elisha Fowler, Jr.(?), William Simms, Robert Clarke, Alexius Simms, Virlinda Simms, Walter Simms, Thomas Simms, and Ignatius Simms." Ann Simms first married Thomas Clarke and then William Rhodes and is the Ann Rhodes referred to in the will of Edward. Is it possible we are missing a generation of Verlinda's here? It was a common name in the Semmes/Simms family - and one their associated families used for at least a couple of more generations.
