There are two Rhode Island Daughters of the American Revolution, one in the Bristol Chapter and one in the Narragansett-Cooke-Gaspee Chapter who descend from this line, I believe.

Several years ago I was asked by my mother-in-law to help find her birth family. My mother in law passed away two years ago and I have put this on the back burner BUT I just received an e-mail from her birth nephew and he is still hoping to connect with more of his dad's family. I am once again asking for help to make my mother-in-laws dream come true by finding her only living brother Richard CLARK or at least we are hoping he is still living. If we could find Richard it would mean a lot to me as well as his nephew that he knows nothing of. This is from a letter I posted on the CLARK web site. Thank you so much for letting me post this again and hope that someone may be able to help us find Richard. Regina Several years now I have been helping my eight two year old mother-in-law; Betty ROCKLEY PIPES, search for her birth family. Betty was born Blanche Laura CLARK/CLARKE March 12, 1923 at St. Mary's Children Home in Cranston, R.I. to Florence Edith CLARK. Florence Edith CLARK was the daughter of Fred and Anna BOHLIN CLARK and sister of Blanche (b. 1905) and Harry R. CLARK (b. abt 1908). When we started our search we had the name of Betty's mother and the names of her two half brothers; Robert Henry CLARKE born March 7, 1926 and died 1993. Robert "Bob" was raised by a Frances LYNCH in R.I., and Harold Vincent CLARK born Nov. 29, 1930 and died April 1, 1995. Harold was placed in one foster home after another and finally joined the service. We have been very blessed with much help and good luck finding these two brothers even though they both have passed on. Through our search we find that there is still another half brother; Richard CLARK that had to be born after 1930. Richard is the only one of the children that lived with Florence Edith CLARK in Rhode Island. I have called every Robert CLARK listed in R I without any luck so I once again am hoping to find someone on the list that may be able to help me. I've placed messages on CLARK/CLARKE web sites as well as the ones in R I. without much success. I'm putting everything I know about this family here so just in case someone knows someone that may know someone. In 1899 Anna BOHLIN came to the states from Sweden Oct. 28, 1904. Fred CLARK of Augusta, Maine married Anna BOHLIN of East Providence, R.I. 1900 census Providence, R I Ann BOHLIN is a house servant from Sweden and came to the states in 1899. Children of Fredrick and Anna BOHLIN CLARK: Blanche born abt. 1905 Blanche may have married a Gene FOLEY but don't think they had any children. Florence Edith CLARK born abt. 1908 never married that we know of and had four children, Blanch Laura (Betty), Robert Henry (Bob) CLARKE , Harold Vincent CLARK and Richard CLARK/CLARKE. When Florence died her brother Harry paid for her funeral. I am guessing she is buried at St. Ann Cemetery in Cranston, R I as that is where Harry is buried. Do not know the year she died but it had to be before 1991 since that is when Harry died. Harry R. CLARK born June 12, 1908 in Providence, R I and died March 1991 Conyers, Georgia and is buried at St. Ann Cemetery in Cranston. Harry married Laura HUDSON. They children are Robert F. CLARK born abt 1931 and died May 22, 1992 in Georgia, Paul J. CLARK lived in Coventry, R I and just died in the last year or so and Catherine CLARK that married a WILBY. Rhode Island is such a small state so I am hoping someone may know Richard and Betty will finally get to meet her brother if he is still living. Last anyone can remember Richard was living with Florence when she died. Paul CLARK remembered Richard coming to Harry F. CLARK and asking if he could help pay for Florence's funeral as he was unable to do this. I have no idea how old Richard was at the time. Finding Richard would make such a nice gift to this eighty two year old that has searched all her adult life for this family. Thank you for listening. Regina

He was always a firm and consistent Democrat. It was at his house that Thomas W. Dorr was arrested Oct. 31, 1843. He had three sons, William, Aaron and Edward T., all printers.

Frank - I haven't called Notre Dame in quite a few years, but I've always gotten great help from them. Has Barbara worked there for a long time? If so, she is probably the helpful woman who answered all my questions :-) By the way - there are about 60 items for Patenaude in the Pawtucket Times at that America's Historical Newspapers, 1690-1922 Even if you don't have a subscription, you can see a small section of each article at www.genealogybank.com enough to maybe tell if they are your family.

When Fall River, RI became Fall River, MA, Pawtucket which had been MA, became Pawtucket, RI. I wonder if this is what Frank was thinking of? At any rate, that all happened in the 1860's - much earlier than Frank's missing person. Lisa llepore@comcast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Peloquin" <miyukichan0987@yahoo.com> Morning Frank & Sherri, It's important to note that the border being spoken about here would be the southern border of Fall River that abuts Tiverton, RI.

Hi Frank - Ancestry has some directories for Central Falls, but there is a big gap. It jumps from 1896 to 1906. In 1906 Rose is listed as widow of Edouard, so at least that narrows it down to 1900 - 1905/1906. The Pawtucket Public library has a full run of the directories. I don't know if they do lookups there or? but you could give them a call. I'd like to get to the library in the next couple of months. I'll add this to my to do list, or maybe someone will be going there sooner. Have you found where Rose is buried? The catholic cemeteries are not completely included in the RI Database. Did you call Notre Dame in Pawtucket? They are very helpful, and they are the only cem that can look up your people without a death date. Another cemetery in Central Falls is Moshassuck 978 Lonsdale Ave Central Falls, RI 02863 (401) 723-1087? You could also try the State Archives for a death cert. I think they can work with a 5 year time frame, or again, if someone is going there maybe they can check for you. Finally, there is a database called America's Historical Newspapers, 1690-1922 I can only see the index of articles with my Boston Public library access, but I looked for Edouard there and did not find him. I don't know how complete the Pawtucket paper is. If you are on the Quebec Research list, ask there if someone has the book "Franco-American Burials of RI" published by Quintin.
