Thanks for your reply Cornelia. I didn't know that about Harnett Co in today's time. My Clark line goes through Alexander Clark, the father of Catherine. She and her family lived on Buffalo Creek and Alexander owned over 900 acres and a "mansion" according to a Fayetteville Observer obit for one of Alexander's children. I own Mr. Vann Comer's book about Buffalo Presbyterian already. It doesn't have much on my Clark line, but a lot of other information. Thanks again for your response. ~ Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 8:23 PM Subject: Re: [NCCUMBER] Shaw, McCraine, Thompson, Kelly, McIver, CLARK > > Yipes....so Buffalo Presbyterian is in Lee Co??
