I am searching for information regarding my great-great grandparents, Patrick CLARK & his wife Bridget SULLIVAN who lived in Branch Mills, NJ where their daughter, Mary Elizabeth CLARK (my great-grandmother) was born Oct. 6, 1870. Family stories claim this family is of "the Virginia CLARKs" -- whatever that means. I have no clue! If anyone out there understands this cryptic message, please advise! The only info I have regarding this couple is from the death certificate of their daughter, Mary Elizabeth CLARK, who died in 1938 at Overlook Hospital in Summit. Is Summit in Essex or Union County? Mary was married twice: first in Milburn (Essex Co.) to my great-grandfather, James Alfred Ryan of Short Hills, NJ; and next to Frederick V. Hall of Springfield, NJ. Does anyone know of these people? Did Patrick & Bridget have any other children? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I would love to find some relatives. Here's hoping... Thanks, Pamela Rhett Molzan Charleston, SC Pilgrimpjm@aol.com >> Hiya Pam, there are a ton of CLARK's buried in the Westfield Presbyterian Cemetery, just down the road from the former Branch Mills. And for later burials and closer to Branch Mills you may want to check the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield. It's worth a try. I have some indirect CLARK's in my line: John B. CLARK m. Almira C. ROLL in Rahway around 1830; Susan Marih CLARK m. Brooks ROLL in Scotch Plains in 1845 ; Good luck with your search, Dave from Long Island
