I have some ancestry information for anyone descended from the above persons. In checking some of my own European ancestry, courtesy of the Stirnet Ancestry source, I happened to see that the Rose family ancestor, Alexander, who (probably) married Margaret Smith, had extensive ancestry well-covered by the Stirnet Ancestry system. I have reason to believe this system is very trustworthy and a good source of information about the complicated connections between various European families. I would be happy to help anyone descended from this family. All the usual caveats are in effect. Edward Manigault

You need to explain to people you are selling this DNA testing to a little bit more. Just doing a 12 marker DNA test does not necessarily connect you to any kin. In fact it may connect you to people who are not your kin. What you need is probably at least 25 and probably a 37 marker test. Most died in the wool DNA searchers will tell you that a 37 marker test is the best. If you go to Genealogy DNA-L and talk with some of the DNA math type people there they can help maybe without 37 but it is all still relative to the data base you have accumulated. In addition you need some one to compare to also. That is you need someone with a family lineage that is fairly well known and you also need someone else to compare with in terms of their DNA. If you don't have these two items you are just another group of people as to yet unidentified. Now when you have all of this you must might connect to a family that is kin to you. No guarantee. I'm not putting down DNA testing at all or the person who put this out. But when you undertake this testing it is not all simple and it is not all relative inexpensive. Facts faced help all involved. The DNA testing companies do not always tell you all the facts in the case. It is like the Genographic Project, do a 12 marker test and suddenly find you are kin to half the USA. Then realize more testing and finding family are the only route to success. God Bless.

Recently I researched wills and other info for Nun Clark. Nun died about July of 1790 and left land on High Hill Creek in Darlington Dist., SC to his four daughters. No mention of a son. His daughters were -- Elizabeth who m. John Turner, Sabra who m. John Gardner, Sarah who m. Robert Taylor and Mary who may have married Rasha Cannon. I don't have proof that Mary married but she deeded her land to Rasha Cannon. Does anyone know more about Nun Clark? I'm trying to tie him to another CLARK family. Sandy
