Can anyone tell me about the Leonard Clark that is listed as a Revolutionary War soldier of Pittsylvania County.? Am trying to see if he might connect. Thanks CJ

Hi CJ, He is my ancestor. I, too, don't know where he was born. I found him in Wake Co., in 1784 and in Granville Co. in 1785. I believe he was in Granville until he bought land in Pittsylvania Co. after his second marriage to Mary Burgess, in 1798. His farm was located just east of Danville on the Dan River and Sandy Creek. His known children were Leonard Clark, Jr. who migrated to Smith Co., Tn. Leonard Clark, Jr. was by Leonard's first wife, thought to be Mary Messers. Leonard Clark's second marriage to Mary Burgess in 1798, produced one son by the name of Edward Burgess Clark, who migrated to Smith Co., Tn. where he married and then continued his migration down to Winston Co., MS. I don't have proof and probably never will but I believe that he is related to The Bowling Clark family of Halifax Co., VA. Very shortly, I will start posting my Clark information on this list and also on the Halifax Co., List to see if I can find out any more information on the Clarks of Pittsylvania, Halifax and Campbell Co., VA H & CJ Nichols wrote: > Can anyone tell me about the Leonard Clark that is listed as a > Revolutionary War soldier of Pittsylvania County.?
