Cornelius Clark, son of Richard Clark and Mary Miller, had a daughter Mary Polly Clark born in Lewis County 1829. Cornelius Clark was born in PA. Cornelius married twice. At one time a John Clark from Canada (visitor)was listing with him on a Census. My Clarks were in New England, went to Canada and had land in 1823. My great grandmother, Rachel Clark, was born in Dunwich, Canada in 1827 and came to KY 1854.(Spouse: William Peter Jones). Her parents John Clark and Ruth Hamilton)came from Nova Scotia. Richard Clark was the son of William Clark and Dorothy Stonehouse. Dorothy died in England and William and family came on the Jenny to NS. Richard married a widow James in NS. So far I can not connect the Clarks in VA with the New England/Canada Family. The names carry through in Lewis County. Elijah, Wiliam P, George, Mary Polly, Eliza, Richard, John H, Simon and in second famiy William Henry, Louverra, Eliza J, Benjamin, Sarah Frances, Cornealious F, Thomas, Perry David, Serena Francis. I know a William and John Clark from New England received land from Col. Talbot(Canada) and it mentions "services rendered", plus the cost was three barley corns. There also were Clarks from MA. on the "List" of Loyalty to England........ Several Elijah Clarks were in Canada. My great grandmother's brother (Elijah). My grandfather was Richard Mann Jones. John Clark and Ruth Hamilton in Canada also had a William Henry and my Rachel Clark and William Peter Jones had a William Henry. Hate to mention that Wilhite/Wilhoits/Stapp/Slaughters/Hord are also in the family.
