I just checked the archives of the List, and saw that I hadn't posted since
June 2003. Since that is when my first grandchild was born, that is
probably why I cut down on how many Lists I belonged to at that time.
But, while looking at the archives, I noticed there haven't been too many
postings lately. Are there only a few subscribers? Or, do most
people use the other Lists?
I hope everyone is surviving the "almost a HEAT wave" .. in New England !
And, in a few other places !
Hello,
I'd like to explain my other posting. I knew I had joined this List when
it first started, and thought I still belonged to it. As I belong to
dozens .... of Lists, it is hard to remember all of them. But, it turns
out, I had unsubscribed at some point.

P.S. Since I know nothing about James CLARK/E's life before he married
the widow, Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER) LAVARE, in Westport, MA, it wouldn't
surprise me to find out that he also was previously married.
However, I have seen a few other James CLARK's mentioned for being born in
southern New England in the 1790's, but they all seem to have lived long
lives - with the same wife !

Subject: James CLARK, b1790's?? (relative William CLARK)
Hello,
I'd like to repost my interest in a James CLARK/E who was born anywhere
around 1790 to 1800 .. "somewhere."
He is one of my two "solidly built, concrete-block walls" on the same branch
of my family tree. A brief summary is that James "appears" in Little
Compton, RI, in the 1820's, marries in nearby Westport, MA, in 1829, has a
daughter there in 1836, and "disappears" in the 1840's !
A better explanation is that, when he married in 1829 in Westport, he stated
he was previously from Little Compton. He married a recent widow who had
3 children, Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER) LAVARE. They had a daughter, Mary
Anna "Molly" CLARK, in 1836. James is not in the household with his
wife, daughter, and step-children in the 1850 Census.
The natural "assumption" is that he had died during the 1840's. But, a
"distant cousin" found out that a James CLARK had gotten on a ship in New
Bedford in 1844, heading for the Indian Ocean. This James "deserted ship"
in Australia !
...... While reviewing the notes on my grandmother's story, I was reminded
that, when she married, she reported her birth-father as being... William
CLARK ! And, I have "no clue" who this person is !
My "gut feeling" is that James and William CLARK/E were members of a CLARK
family in CT, RI, or MA. I have a "suspicion" that Mrs. Mary (CLARK)
DEXTER was in touch with CLARK family members after she married.

FYI: For newcomers to the List, my grandmother's "story" is a very long
one, and I've posted it on the Lists before. A quick summary is that:
In the 1850's in Stonington, CT, Mary "Molly" CLARK of Westport, MA, married
John DEXTER of Killingly, CT, and they lived in Killingly. They had 3
daughters, but only one lived to adulthood. Mrs. Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG
of Killingly was married with a 6-year-old son, Earle YOUNG, when her
parents "strangely" left Killingly to move to Boston.
Coincidentally, "someone" got pregnant with my grandmother - around the same
time ("summer of 1888"). In 1892, John and Molly DEXTER, while in their
late 50's, formally adopted a baby girl, then 3, and they renamed her ..
Mary Anna Clark DEXTER. My "educated guess" is that Mrs. Clara YOUNG,
back in Killingly, had an "unwanted pregnancy" which did not involve her
husband. And, in order to keep a "small town scandal" down to a low roar,
the baby girl was brought to Boston, and the DEXTER's moved there to have
the baby live with them.
Unfortunately, Mrs. DEXTER died in 1899, and Mary "Mamie" DEXTER (aka Mary
"Mamie" CLARK) went to live in the Boston Female Orphans Asylum. Mr.
DEXTER sold the house in Melrose and moved to Boston, and I believe he
remained in contact with his Adoptive daughter (probable granddaughter)
until his death in 1905. My grandmother remained in "homes" until ~1909.
(There is a great deal more of this story. And, during this summer, I
hope to write up a "short story" (actually a long story) including all
aspects of my grandmother's childhood !)
One aspect is that it has just occurred to me that the YOUNG and CROSBY
families of Killingly, CT, must have remained in contact with my
grandmother after 1905. My grandmother married in 1911, and lived in
both Somerville and Medford (KERR family). And, yet, her nephew-by way
of Adoption, Earle YOUNG, was able to make contact with her after several of
her children had been born. So, he must have known her married name.
(I believe that Earle YOUNG of Killingly, and later New Haven, CT, was
actually her half-brother, 7 years older than she was.)
