Is there anyone out there who has a William Clark(e) of Westmoreland Co Va. in their tree. My best guess is the William Clark I'm looking died between 1700-3 ? >From an article on the Sheriffs of Westmoreland Co Va. Captain Lawrence Washington presented to the Court his Excellency the Governors Commission to be Sheriff of this County." Mr. Washington was appointed to serve one more year by the Governor. * Mr. William Clark * was his deputy. >From May 25, 1692 "Captain Lawrence Washington produced to the Court the Rt. Honorable to be the Sheriff of this county and having the oaths instead of Supremecy and Allegience was admitted and sworn into the Office of Sheriff" * Mr. William Clark * and Mr. John Washington, Jr., were his deputies. June 24, 1691 Francis Wright was re-elected as the High Sheriff and * Mr. William Clark * and Nathaniel Pope were his deputies. Below is my interest ( excerpts from my files) Peter Duncan ........ "was named trustee in the will of William Clarke . . . loving wife Mary, James Clarke & William Clarke, Executors. Peter Smith and Peter Dunkan, trustees Aug 25, 1703, according to the Wills and Deeds Book 3, page 176, 2n amount was due Dennis Cornhill from the estate of William Clark. Dennis Cornhill (marrried Ann Duncan) and was brother-in-law of Peter Duncan II, named above. Deputy John Hartly (or Hartley) is believe to have married Peter Duncan's sister, Rebecca Duncan Kirtley. Peter II, Ann & Rebecca we children of Peter Duncan (b.c. 1633 - d.c. 1685) who lived in the Nomini Creek, Westmoreland Co, Va, For the moment, I'm making an assumption that William Clark of Westmoreland is the right man, so looking any info I can find on this William Clark to prove or disprove a connection. Hoping someone else has encounter him or has more info on him. PS: Since he is styled "Mr" and was a Deputy Sheriff in Westmoreland Co, Va., dealing with some notable people, one would think there would be all sorts of info on him, but I have not had any luck finding, so far - Any help appreciated. -- Fred Duncan
