Hi Doris, I just recieved two more generation's on my Clark family. J. (John) Adam b 1833 Jackson Twp. d 1907 Trumbull Co. Oh. son of John A Clark b 1809 Coolspring Twp. d bet 1870-1880 mrd Elizabeth Correll. son of Abraham Clark b 1777 Ireland d 1832 Coolspring Twp mrd Catherine Starr son of Isaac Clark b abt 1755 Ireland d 1811 - 1813 Mercer Co. Pa. They moved to Mercer Co. in 1800. I'm so happy to get this info, I have been looking for over 20 years for John A. parnets. Maybe we will connect some where down the line.
