Hi Listers here is my list for the Ancestor Party CLARKE, Laughlin b. about 1808-1825 possibly in County Louth came to America sometime in 1836 at age of 28. I found a match for him in Newrange April 1815 of a Loughlin CLERK son of Thomas CLERK & Rose REILLY. I DON'T know when or where he was born. He settled in Maryland and later in Virginia/West Virginia. BURKE, Hiram unknown dates married Nancy Riley in Virginia. Hiram and Nancy had George Reason Burke born 6/16/1858 married Emma Pratt on 9/18/1879 in WV and George died in 02/1946 in WV. Emma was born on 3/24/1859 in VA. They had one son William N. Raymond Burke, and Emma died 7/30/1921 in WV. BLACK, Elic Hodges born March 4, 1877 in Comanche County, TX. He was the son of Sam Black and his mothers maiden name was Swink. He was buried supposedly in Silver City, New Mexico (Grant County). After he died on Dec. 24, 1940 he was buried possibly back in Texas cause his sons came and brought him back to Texas from New Mexico. So if you can grant me 3 wishes I want to know the truth about my g.g.grandfather CLARKE. I want to know more details about my g.g.g.grandfather BURKE like where did his ancestors come from? Finally, I want to know more details about my husbands g.g.grandfather BLACK and where did his ancestors come from. Thank you and hope everybody gets answers to their many questions. May God bless and keep you all safe, healthy, always feeled with good food and great friends. Melinda Clark-Black (5/8ths Irish, 1/8th Flemish, 1/8th Welsh/English and 1/8th unknown)
