Sun Jul 15, 2001 is the CLARK - SORENSEN REUNION 1934 - 2001 ! I didn't discover my Clark Line Family that held the Reunions until 1983 when I became interested in Genealogy. It was pure Clues, Determination, and Footwork that brought us together. My branch of our Clark Family, apparently didn't know or didn't attend those Reunions usually held somewhere near the Columbia River in WA. The Story of how I was able to Find them, and Join them is long, so I won't elaborate here, but it was one of those "They Want to Be Found" stories that I cherish among my Gen. Experiences. The Following are Our Line of Clarks, and why we celebrate our Legacy each Year: 1.James CLARK b. Eng. c. 1609; m. 1)__2) wid. Ann WAKEFIELD of New Haven Colony CT. ( NHvn= New Haven, CT) 2. Samuel CLARK b. 1656 CT; m. 1672 NHvn CT Hannah TUTTLE (mat. LANE). 3. Samuel CLARK b. 1673 NHvn; m. 1698 Mary BROWN, resided Southington CT. , (mat. VINCENT). 4. Capt Abraham CLARK b. 1699 CT; m. 1721 Martha TYLER ( mat. LATHROP Line). 5. Rufus CLARK b. 1730 Southington CT; m. Mary NEAL (mat. STRICKLAND of Hartford, CT). 6. Joel CLARK b. 1763 Southington CT; m. Phebe SQUIRE(S) 1784 Southington CT.(mat. EDWARDS) [Note: I have SQUIRE(S) GEN. back to George SQUIRE b. 1618 Peterboro ENG & was in Concord, MA. by 1641; then Fairfield CT by 1644 as a Sergeant in the Trainband there + the SQUIRE Gen. Line, early on. E-Mail for the Squire(s) Line is: [email protected] BROWN GENEALOGY is highly allied to the SQUIRE(S) LINE, also. 7. Archibald CLARK b. Bristol, CT 1794; m. Nancy POPE Ontario Co. NY 1816; Nancy is said to have been b. in CANADA because her parents may have been visiting relative there however the parents are said to have been living in possibly what has become known as "upper State NY". The POPE Gen. goes back via Job POPE 6 (Richard5; Seth4, Lemuel 3, Seth2, Thomas!1,b. circa.Sept 27,1619 ENGland; d. Dartmouth, MA. 1683; Hwf was Sarah Jenney. The Immigrant, Thomas POPE arr. from ENG. aboard the "Mary and John" - he settled at Dorchester, MA 1630. 8. Jason SQUIRE CLARK b. 1819 IN. Switzerland Co.; m. 1838 IN, Decatur Co. Anna MICHAEL (desc. Germ. Palatine Line from Paulus Michael ;possibly Mikel, Michel back before they sailed to Amer. 1700s). It is the CLARK & MICHAEL Lines that we gather with our SORENSEN FAMILIES to Honor our Common CLARK ancestor we know of the most since he is the branch to most of us, at least of the Clark Line - Jason S. Clark, buried near the Columbia River on the Washington side at HARTLAND, WA, or better known to the Ones Who Lived and Farmed There as HIGH PRAIRIE ! The location is 12 miles North of LYLE, WA. on the Columbia River, just a bit West of The Dalles, OR. on the River. At High Prairie, or Hartland ( It had a P.O. turn of the former Century) was a small farming community - the warm, friendly type. Nearby, was the Lone Pine Cemetary, yes, CemetAry, it sez, but God Bless the person who painted that sign over the entrance to that Pioneer & Indian cemetery ! I HOPE that nobody EVER changes that sign as it is truly a legacy of the times and of the Love that the People there had for each other. If there WAS friction, it could be mended with Time. There are those Clark Branches follow, including mine, but I will end this List or account here. I tried to furnish Info so that Others seeing this might find a "tie" or even a "clue" in their own Search for those elusive Lines. Thank you for Reading ! I hope this will provide clues or ties for you and yours. Carroll Clark, (male) Snohomish, WA. 30 mi.
