Hello out there Clarks! Wanted to share some info. with you in hopes of
finding perhaps a relative, or new info. Great grandfather named William
Smith Clark born in Edinburgh in 1853. His father is a John Clark. William
was well educated in botany and lived on the estate of Weems Castle. He came
to the U.S. and worked at the Botanical Gardens in Washington D.C. He
married a Frances Thorpe. William also had a brother living in Riverton N.J.
He was also a botanist. Remaining in Scotland was a brother Andrew. Can
anyone help with some additional info.? Also am searching for a CLOW family
member who may have been a cousin. Donna
Now I know this is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack, but I need to locate a male descendant from the Michael Clark family of Utica, NY.
There was a Ralph Maynard Clark, born in 1931, but I can't find him. He is not in the SS Death Index.
I am sure there were others. I just can't find them.
In order to trace the family through yDNA testing, I have to locate a male.
Funny, when I was a teen-ager, I spent all my time looking for a male. Now I'm 80, and I'm back at it again--only this time I am being more particular. A Clark it must be.

Hello,
Just a few minutes ago some of the bricks have fallen off one of my "brick
walls." For 2 years I have been searching for any information at all
about a James CLARK to no avail. All I knew is that he probably lived in
Little Compton, RI, in the 1820's, and married Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER)
LAVARE in Westport, MA, in 1829. They had a daughter born there in 1837.
Because of the Internet, I have connected with a "distant cousin" in CT, who
is a descendant of Rhoda's first marriage to Epaphroditus LAVARE, and their
3 children. She and I decided to research these families together.
I had already found out that the 1850 Census for Westport, MA, showed Mrs.
Rhoda CLARK and her daughter, Mary Anna, but it did not show her husband,
James CLARK. So, my assumption was that James had died during the 1840's.
Another "guess" I made is that, since Rhoda's first husband was a mariner,
James might have been also.
Just an hour ago, my "distant cousin" went to a web site offering names of
crewmen on whaling ships out of New Bedford, MA, and .. Voila' ... there
was James CLARK. But, more than that, she found out where he went:
James CLARK, Rank: Greenhand, Ship Name: OCEAN
Port of Registry: New Bedford, Whaling Ground: INDIAN
Departure Date: 12/31/1844, Return Date: 11/7/1848
Remarks:
DESERTED AT SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, 9/18/1845
IF we have found the correct James CLARK, it now seems that I might have
"very distant cousins" in Australia. We don't know when James was born.
His wife, Rhoda, was born in 1800 in Westport, MA. But, we don't know
whether she married an older man, or a younger man. If James was born
anywhere around 1800, then, when he arrived in Australia, he was in his
40's.

Hello,
While still searching for the family of origin of James CLARK/E who was
probably born between 1790 and 1800 (don't know where), I found the Census
information on the GenWeb site for Bristol County, MA. Here I found at
least a half-dozen and possibly a full-dozen CLARK or CLARKE families living
in Bristol County in the 1790 Census.
One example is the town of Freetown, MA, where both Theophilus CLARK and
Theophilus CLARK, Jr., both lived with their families. Also in that town
were Asa CLARK and Richard CLARK and their families. In nearby Somerset,
MA, there was a Silas CLARK and his family.
Out of curiousity, I looked up Theophilus CLARK at www.familysearch.org
and found quite a selection of them. And, during the 1700's, there were
men, named Theophilus CLARK, in both eastern MA and eastern CT. In
particular, I noted that one family was in Plainfield, Windham County, CT.
The DEXTER family I am researching was centered around Killingly/Danielson,
in Windham County, CT, between 1790 and 1850. And, I believe a few of the
Dexter's married in Plainfield.
..I was wondering if anyone was researching the above CLARK families in
Bristol County, MA, in 1790, and knew whether any of them had a son, James
CLARK, born between 1790 and 1800.
Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)
P.S. James CLARK was in Little Compton, RI, in the 1820's, but married in
1829 in Westport, MA. James and Rhoda CLARK in Westport, MA, had a
daughter, Mary Anna CLARK in 1837. Probably around 1855 to 1865, Mary
CLARK married John DEXTER, who was reportedly born in Killingly, CT, in
1833.

Hello,
I was just given some of my mother's handwritten notes from when she started
researching her family tree about 30 years ago. In the notes I found a
reference to a Mr. George CLARK/E. It seems he was originally? from MA,
but moved to CA where he owned "an orange grove." This was probably in the
early 1900's.
He was probably related to .. William and Mary CLARK/E, who my grandmother
thought for a while were her .. birth-parents. We have no idea why she
thought this.
Both William and George CLARK/E were probably directly related to Mrs. Mary
Anna (CLARK/E) DEXTER, who was born in Westport, MA, in 1837. She was the
daughter of James CLARK/E of Little Compton, RI, and Westport, MA, during
his adult years. I do not know where or when he was born, but suspect the
1790's.
All I know about my grandmother's official information was found in her
Adoption File which I had opened in Cambridge, MA, a few years ago. She
was born in Feb. 1889 in Boston, MA, and was "a foundling." In Mar. 1892,
she was adopted by John and Mary (CLARK/E) DEXTER. They were Age 55 at the
time, possibly 59 and 55, depending on John Dexter being born in Killingly,
CT, in 1833.
When she was "a foundling," she was given the name, Daisy WATROUS. So, I
don't know why she would have been given that name, if she was born to
William and Mary CLARK.
If I let my imagination run wild, I could say that John and Mary DEXTER's
teen-age daughter (unknown name) got pregnant in 1888, by way of a CLARK
relative. Perhaps they married later on ???
I can find out ..no.. information about the married years of John and Mary
DEXTER, and, as a result I don't know how many children they had. But,
there are hints that they might have had a son who was much older than their
daughter.
Thank you for your time.

Found the following in a book called PIONEER TIMES, volume 12, 1988. I don't know these folks, am not related, and have typed everything there is in the book to type about them. Just thought YOU might be interested in the info here, and if it helps even 1 person, it was worth my time and trouble.

CRAWFORD COUNTY, MISSOURI NEWSPAPERS
The following newspaper clippings were pasted in an old scrap book. The unknown collector had clipped them from an 1891 Crawford County Missouri Newspaper... I don't know the name of it or the dates on some of these.
____LVILLE, MO, Nov 19, 1891 (Probably Steelville)
Obituary
Miss LOU COWDEN, who died at her sister's, Mrs. M. O. TAYLOR's at Bourbon, on the 9th inst., was the daughter of the REV. J. W. COWDEN, formerly of this county, and at the time of her death, was in the 35th year of her age. She has resided in the city for a number of years and was in the country this fall to try and recuperate her health, which has been very much impaired for some time, when she was attacked with the erysipelas and only lived a few days. Miss Lou became converted to the cause of Christ under her father's preaching when very young and from that time to her death lived a model Christian life. She showed her Christian virtues in all her wilks in life and never found anything too much or too exacting for her to do for the cause of religion. She was noble, generous, kind and lovely to and loved by all. Well can the brothers and sisters say with the poet: "Sister, thou was mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze; Pleasant as the air of evening, As it floats a!
mong the trees." Since her death one of the family has written: "She was the best of us all; loving, kind and industrious, better to others than to herself. To liertt (?) is rest, eternal rest." She was buried at Leasburg on the 11th where a large number of friends, neighbors and old schoolmates had gathered to pay her the last sad tribute of respect.
MARRIAGE
Married at the residence of J. C. Burkes, last Sunday evening at 4 o'clock, Mr. William Drennon and Miss Rena Marsh, both of Riverside. Rev. Phillips officiating.
Wherever you dwell,
May content be your lot;
And friendship like ivy,
Encircle your cot,
Is the best wish of Samant____
OBITUARY
The sad intelligence reached here on Tuesday, that Edw. M. Clark died at his home in Hermann, MO., on the 30th of Nov. 1891, from typhoid fever. The deceased was reared in this county, and from this place enlisted in the 7th Missouri Cavalry. In 1869 he was married to MARY A. GIBSON, daughter of DR. ALEXANDER GIBSON of this place who bore him a son and a daughter, who are both living. He resided for several years in Phelps county where he was elected clerk of the circuit court. He was there admitted to the bar, but finally removed to Gasconade County where he practiced his profession up to the time of his fatal illness. He was an intelligent and able man, a genial and kindhearted citizen, an indulgent father and a faithful husband. His remains were brought to Steelville, and buried from the Baptist church on Wednesday.
MR. WM. JOLLEY & MISS ANNA A. FANNING, were married at the residence of MR. JOHN FANNING yesterday, 13 Jan, 1792. (that surely is a typo... probably should be 1892)
I am trying to find information on Anthony Clark, born 1759 in Ireland and
came to America in 1775. He married a lady named either Kate Prutsinger,
Pritsinger or Persinger. He moved to Lawrence County, Ohio in about 1815 and
died there in about 1833. He had one son as far as I can tell, Anthony
ClarkJr., at last account was living in Sangamon County, Illinois. His
daughters married men named Mann, Brammer, and Murnahan. If anyone has any
information on Anthony Clark, or more importantly, Anthony Clark, Jr. I
would appreciate hearing from you. I can be reached at TCXCOP1948(a)aol.com.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I'd like to repost my interest in learning the origins of James CLARK/E who
was probably born between 1790 and 1800, but I don't know where.
In the 1820's, he was living in Little Compton, RI. In 1829, he married a
widow, Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER) LAVARE, in Westport, MA, and that is where
they lived. They had a daughter born in Westport in ~1837. But, James
probably died in the 1840's, as he was not listed in the 1850 Census for
Westport, MA, with his wife and teen-age daughter.
The first husband of Miss Rhoda MANCHESTER was Epaphroditus LAVARE, and his
descendants believe that he was born and raised in VIRGINIA.. and was a
Mariner. So, he had migrated from VA to MA and married Rhoda in Westport,
MA, in 1819. He died "at sea" in ~1825, I believe.

I'm looking for information on William Simms Clark. This is all the
information I have on him. His daughter was in her 80's when I talked to
her, so memory wasn't too great. He/his family was either from England or
Scotland. His daughter is Elvira Blanche (Elva) Clark Dooley, b. 11July1888,
in Topeka, Kansas, d. 3July 1988, Lodi, Wisconsin.
If anyone has information on this family, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is my husband's family, I'd like to go back farther on this side.
Thank you, Cindy Brewer Dooley
