My Henry Blanton Clark was born in 1803 in VA. I have been told his father's name was Richard who married Mary Simmons but I have never been able to confirm that. I know nothing of the siblings of my Henry, except that if this is true, I found in Fannin Co Texas where my line of Clark's migrated to I found a Joel Simmons Clark ,also as a son of Richard and Mary, was the youngest of 7 sons. Henry married Martha Brown d/o Maurice Brown and Catherine Hughes. She too was born in VA, I have always had Amherst Co for her. They had sons Morris Brown Clark, Lemuel Blanton Clark, Willie Clark, Seton Taylor Clark, and a daughter Frances who married John P. Burford. Do any of these names sound familiar in your line? Deb
