Hi, I am a descendant of John C. Clark, born in St. Mary's County, MD abt. 1756. He died in Butler County, KY. Does anyone have any ideas regarding who John's father or mother might be? Thanks so much. Lisa In a message dated 2/19/2013 9:30:20 A.M. Central Standard Time, lindareno@comcast.net writes: Hi Rex, Thanks for your note. Yes, she was a descendant. I have Lavinnah, daughter of Robert Clarke IV, d. 1788 (wife not known); Robert Clarke III, d. 1735 and Mary Wilkinson?; Robert Clarke, Jr. and Sarah Combs (no question mark); and Robert Clarke, the surveyor and wife, Winifred Seyborn (no question mark). I don't know his English origins, but you may want to contact Jerry Clark who has researched him extensively. Perhaps he knows. His email is: Clark8178@comcast.net Below is a report on this family and as you can see I'm missing a lot of data. Could you help me fill in some blanks?
