My ancestor is Richard Langhorn Clark. All I know about is wife is that her name was Chloe, no maiden name. Has anyone else who might have come across Richard found out his wife's maiden name? Richard's parents were John Clark and Eleanor Gough. Richard was barn around 1753 in Maryland. The family ends up in Kentucky. Any ideas or suggestions on how to find out her maiden name? Thank you.

Note that Clement Newton also had a son named Alban or Albian Newton and that Richard and Chloe Clarke also had a son named Albin.
