Hi Regina - Maybe you know this, but Frances Lynch's mother was a Clarke - coincidence or ? Note also that they lived on Clarke Lane... Have you tried to find any of her descendants? I don't find either of her sons listed in the SSDI, and I didn't find an obituary for them. I found a divorce for a Benton Lynch in Florida in 1995. I found a Cameron with the middle name of Clarke in Connecticut.
