They produced Jane Reade, b 1744, who md Thomas Jones. Gwyn Reade is the grandson of Colonel George Reade, ancestor of George Washington - per Mrs. Lucille Gibson Pleasants, 1186 Crenshaw Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA ph ORegon6254 notes in the William and Mary Swen Library Archives, Williamsburg, VA. (Mss.39.4 G29 Clack Family Genealogical Notes). Dorothy Clack is a daughter (5th child) of the Reverand James Clack and his wife Jane, b abt 1680, Ware, Gloucester, Virginia. James was b. 1655, Marden, Wiltshire, England. Info: By computation from Tombstone: Rev James CLACK left England 18 Aug 1678,arrived in VA 01 Jan 1679. Served as rector of Ware Parish in Gloucester 1679-1723. >From THE WORLD OF WARE PARISH by Spotswood Hunnicutt Jones (The Dietz Press, Richmond, VA: His Clack ancestry dates back to the Vikings and it is believed a Viking invasion around A.D. 634 brought the family to England. His mother was a Spencer, a family whose lineage includes all the Saxon, Norman, Plantaganet and Tudor kings of Britain, all the Scottish kings, and French kings back to Charlemagne and beyond. He matriculated at Magdalen Colege, Oxford University on December 12, 1671 at the age of sixteen and it was from there he received the B.A. degree. He also received seminary schooling, for on September 29, 1675 he was ordained a minister of the Established Church of England, at Salisbury Cathedral. Shortly afterwards, he married Mary Rivers, who died early and without issue. (See FOOTPRINTS by Robert G. Lowrey, p.204 and Family history of the Clack and related families and William G. Stanard's "Thornton Family Genealogy" WMQ(1),4:158). He left England in August,! ! 1678, arriving in Virginia on New Year's Day in 1679. At Easter he came to Ware Church as rector, a position he held for forty-five years, until his death. His uncle was Nicholas Spencer, living in Virginia at "Nominy" in Westmoreland County. An older brother, Nicholas Clack, was also in Virginia. There is uncertainty as to the identity of his wife, Jane, who he married after he became rector of Ware Church. A family tradition persists that she was a descendant of Pocahontas, through the Bolling family, but a lack of historical documentation makes this tradition suspect. It seems more likely that Clack married into one of the prominent families of Gloucester such as Willis, Whiting or Sterling. 1. Kinfolks, Vol. 3 p 2754-8, 2763 2 Family Chronicles p 602, 609-12 3.

My relatives are from around Southern Kentucky, North Central Tennessee, however I found them in Texas and even Hawaii. Oddly I traced my grandfather (Otis Hobdy, SR.) back as part of work that had already been done on a family tree of a lady by the name of "Cotton or Cotten". There were Hobdys -at least in that "strain"- all the way back to the 1600's -I believe- when they suddenly "disappeared". Haven't done any work on it since. Hope this helps. If we are related, please let me know. Thanks.

Journals of any kind? All information and clues greatly appreciated. My ancestors lived in Ware, I think.

All the Appendices are now uploaded to the Rev. War Records. I made a change in Appendix K where there were 22 selected pension applications in the original book. I thought it would be easier for someone to view all the names at a glance than have to scroll thru them all to find out what names/info were there. I have only finished one; Richard Armistead of Kingston Parish. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaglouce/aparmr.html Most of these applications contain a wealth of information, such as wives names, children, etc. A few are very short and contain no genealogical info. I should have all 22 up sometime next week and that will complete the transcription of the book. Jane G.
