My great grandfather, James Madison Clarke was born in Meaford, Ontario in January, 1848, he died March 2, 1930 in Sault Sainte Marie, MI at the age of 81-yrs, 9-mos. His father was William Clarke and his mother Eliza Carson. James M. Clarke's wife was Alice (Tacy) (Tacey) (Tessier). She was born in May, 1860, location ?, She died October 6, 1906 at Whitefish Point, MI at the age of 46 yrs, 4-mos, 13-dys. Jim and Alice were married in Duluth, MN in 1875. They had the following children: Anna, John, Fred, Mae, Mabel, William, Hugh, Frances Roy, Olive Ruth and Carl. Her fathers name was Frances Tacey, also known as Frank. Her mother was Catherine Jennings? (last name not for sure). Frances Tacey was born in Canada around 1817. Frances and Catherine were married in 1850, Sault Sainte Marie, MI. They had the following children: Louisa, Alice, Emma, Malinda amd William. Trying to find the connection as to their Indian background. Over the many years the family said Alice was 1/2 Indian. It has also been mentioned that the Clarke side was Indian also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Contact: Paul E. Petosky, P.O.
