Hello James! Excuse me for bothering you. I saw your name and address on the Rootschat site. I am a descendant of Elizabeth Clark (b 1820 ) whose parents were John Clark and Amelia Miller who married in 1802 at Caputh in Scotland. They also had a son called Mungo, born 1813. I was wondering if these names fitted into your family at all? My Elizabeth went on to marry James Low where they had children named Amelia, James, Mary Ann, Thomas and Elizabeth. There may be other names lurking in the mists of time that I have not discovered yet!
I have just started researching this side after spending six hugely frustrating weeks researching my MacGregor line. I have managed to find out more tonight about the Lows and hopefully now the Clarks than in those six weeks rolled together!
I am 40 and live in Edinburgh. My dad is 73 this year and I am researching his tree as a gift for him and his brother ( who lives in South Africa ). It would be great if you had any information that you would be willing to share with me.
Thank you for your time.
Best wishes,
Maxine Dundas.

Sarah Roads/[Rhodes]-age 20

Cora A. Roads/Rhodes-age 1. Cora is my great grandmother.
I have other information where Cora's father's name was Jack Rhodes/Roads.
Anyone know of any of these people?
Cora A. Rhodes married Frank A. Lock[e], around the Burke/Catawba Co., NC. area.
I have heard there is a Webster surname connection to the Rhodes/Roads family here, but can't find it.
Anyone have any clues on this Cynthia Clark or any of these people? A Sarah Webster may be related to this group?

Paul Jones, a retired manufacturer, of Youngstown, Ohio, who has been identified with many of the great industries which have made this city an important business center, was born here in November, 1838, a son of William and Mary (Clark) Jones.
The paternal forefathers of Mr. Jones were natives of Ireland. His grandparents were William and Fanny (Stinson) Jones, both of who were born in County Tyrone, Ireland.
William Jones, the father, was born also in County Tyrone, Ireland, December 10, 1810, and came to America with his parents when about 20 years of age, landing at Philadelphia, where his mother had relatives. They shortly after came to Ohio and settled at Lisbon, Columbiana County William Jones coming to Youngstown about 1830. Here he attended school in the academy, which stood on the site of the present Diamond Block, and which afterwards became the Disciple Church. He learned the trade of bricklayer and stone mason and he was one of the builders whose mortar was good and whose corners always plumb, which expression might be applied both actually in regard to his occupation and in a figurative sense as indicative of his character.
On August 9, 1835, William Jones was married to Mary Clark, who was born June 24, 1818, in Coitsville township, Mahoning County, Ohio, and was a daughter of Thomas and Jane (Brownlee) Clark. Thomas Clark was born in Marshall township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on November 22, 1782. His wife, Jane Brownlee Clark, Mrs. Jones's mother, was a daughter of William and Margaret (Leman) Brownlee, and they settled in Coitsville township, Mahoning County, Ohio. William Brownlee was born in Scotland and came to America before the War of the Revolution. His wife was a native of Ireland. They settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where the maternal grandmother of our subject was born.
William Jones and wife had two sons, Nathaniel Mitchell and Paul. The father died at the home of his eldest son, at Memphis, Tennessee, on January 27, 1867, and was buried in the family lot at Oak Hill cemetery, Youngstown, by the side of his wife, who passed away on July 14, 1866.
Paul Jones was reared and educated at Youngstown, and in 1856 he began his business career as a bookkeeper for Charles Howard of this city. For ten years Mr. Jones continued in this position, and then with C.D. Arms, C.B. Wick and N.E. Brown, he entered into an iron business; but as this venture did not prove successful, it was abandoned and Mr. Jones became manager for William Tod & Company. When the company was incorporated he became its secretary and treasurer. In January, 1905, he resigned his offices with the company and retired from active business life. He is vice-resident of the Youngstown Steel Company, of which he is a director, and has had other interests.
February 5, 1868, Mr. Jones was married to Minnie Pollock, who was a daughter of Thomas and Susannah Pollock. Mrs. Jones died on May 20, 1881, leaving one son, Frederick Dennis. Mr. Jones owns a fine residence on the corner of Broadway and Millicent avenue.

Myron Sobieski Clark, M.D. - In the fall of 1873 there located at Youngstown a young physician and surgeon of some years' experience in general practice, a graduate of the medical department of the University of Michigan, who had not yet forgotten his year of service as hospital steward in the Civil War, finding a hearty welcome and immediately gaining a foothold which he has never lost. Dr. Clark was born October 9, 1840, at Gallipolis, Ohio, and is a son of Parmenas Pomerey and Sarah E. (Barber) Clark
Dr. Clark's parents were natives of Massachusetts and members of old colonial families. The father came to Ohio in 1834 and lived in this state all his life. The mother died in 1859, while the family were residing on a farm in Freedom, Portage County. The father, P.P. Clark, contracted a second marriage and subsequently removed to Wauseon, Fulton County. Dr. Clark was his eldest child.
>From the common schools to an academy at Freedom, Ohio, and then to Hiram College, Dr. Clark's boyhood and youth were surrounded by literary advantages, and after completing his course at the latter institution under the direct supervision of James A. Garfield, then its president, he opened a select school at Windham, Portage County, in the vicinity of his father's home. The outbreak of the Civil War changed his whole course of life, in all probability, as it did many others with whom his previous experience had connected him, and at the close of his first half term of school he decided to enter the service of his beloved country, following his determination by enlisting on October 21, 1861, in Company K (of which he was made corporal), 41st Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The change to the exposures of army life brought him in a few months to a sick bed in the hospital, and at length necessitated his removal to his home, and his subsequent discharge on October 28, 1862!
,!
on account of general disability.
Dr. Clark spent the succeeding year in teaching school and applying himself to the study of medicine, at Windham, Ohio. He entered the medical department of the University of Michigan, in October, 1863, remaining until April 1, 1864. Shortly after his return home he re-entered the army, enlisting as a private in Company I, 171st Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under what was known as the 100-day call. A little later he was commissioned hospital steward and accompanied his regiment in all its later movements, suffering capure and being held as a prisoner until recaptured by troops under General Burbridge. He was finally discharged August 21, 1864. He then returned to Ann Arbor and was graduated at the university on March 28, 1865. For some months Dr. Clark practiced at Austintown, Ohio, and then removed to Warren, where he remained until 1868, removing then to Bristolville, from which place he came to Youngstown, as previously mentioned. In the more than a third of a!
century which has since passed, Dr. Clark has been more or less identified with many movements for the moral and material advancement of the city. In his profession he has been honored all over the state by numerous medical organizations, his skill, combined with his personal attributes, gaining him the respect of his brother practitioners. In the encouragement of educational advancement and the promotion of moral enterprises, Dr. Clark has always been relied upon and in former years he willingly gave his valuable time to civic boards that had such objects. He continues to be one of Youngstown's active practitioners and his home and offices are situated at Nos. 816-818 Elm street.
On May 9, 1867, at Hiram, Ohio, Dr. Clark was married to Hettie J. Smith, the ceremony being performed by Dr. D.L. Pinkerton, assisted by President James A. Garfield, of Hiram College. Mrs. Clark, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this work, is daughter of Rev. John Tune and Esther (Cheyney) Smith, the former of whom was a very prominent minister of the Christian Church in Ohio. Dr. and Mrs. Clark have had three children: Clayton A., born September 25, 1874; James A., born June 10, 1878; and Louis Pinkerson, who was born July 9, 1880. Clayton and James are both deceased.
Politically Dr. Clark has always been a Republican. Fraternally he belongs to the higher and subordinate lodges of the Independent Order of Old Fellows, in which he has held important offices, and to the Ancient Order of Foresters of America, in which he has also been elected many times to the highest offices. He has been equally prominent in the Independent Order of Foresters, and in the Sons of St. George. He has taken an active part in Grand Army of the Republic councils at Youngstown and has served in official position in Tod Post, No. 19, and is also United States pension examiner by appointment of President Roosevelt.
In 1858 Dr. Clark united with the Christian Church at Hiram, Ohio, being immersed by James A. Garfield, and in 1875 he was ordained an elder of the Christina Church at Youngstown.

Henry Heasley, a retired farmer living at Poland, who owns valuable farms in Poland township, was born at Youngstown, Ohio, November 1, 1845, and is a son of Henry and Rachel (Adair) Heasley.
The Heasley family came originally from Switzerland and settled in Wesmoreland County, Pennsylvania. There Henry Heasley, the elder, was born and was reared at Greenburg. In 1833, when a young man, he came to Youngstown, where he was later joined by his father, and started a cabinet-making shop, and for many years was the only cabinet-maker, and operated the only undertaking establishment in Youngstown. His charges were moderate, as he made coffins from walnut board, lined them, and supplied the hearse for funerals for $4. In 1853 he removed to Boardman township and purchased a farm on the Youngstown and Poland road, which was known as the Asa Smith farm. One year later he purchased a tract of land on the Poland township side of the road, a part of which is now owned b the subject of this sketch. He died on the Asa Smith farm in 1869. He was twice married (first) to Mary Ann Powers, a daughter of Isaac Powers. She died leaving one child, Mary Ann, who married Philip !
Jacobs, both of whom are deceased. He married (second) Rachel Adair, deceased, who was born and reared in Poland township and was a daughter of James Adair, who was one of the early pioneers of Poland township, who came from Pennsylvania at an early day, with his brother Alexander, and opened up a farm. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. Nine children were born to this union: Emily, deceased; Julia, who is the widow of Daniel Davidson; Henry; Frances, deceased, who married James Gibson, of Youngstown; James, deceased; Josephine, deceased, who married George Miller; Louis, residing in Colorado; Veeder and John, residing at Youngstown.
Henry Heasley was eight years old when his parents moved to the farm in Poland township on which he was reared and received his agricultural training. For many years He was one of the most successful and prominent farmers of Poland township, where he still owns two farms, one of 103 acres on the Youngstown and Poland road, and the other of 75 acres, situated one mile south of the village of Poland, on the Poland and Springfield road. In 1903, Mr. Heasley retired from farming and bought his fine residence property in the village of Poland. The house was built and occupied by Seldon Haynes and is a very old building, but is in first-class condition.
Mr. Heaseley was married, in 1873, to Mary A. Clark, a daughter of John and Mary A (McMillen) Clark, the latter of whom was a sister of Reuben McMillen, who was for many years superintendent of the Youngstown schools and for whom the McMillen Libraries were named. Mr. and Mrs. Heasley have had three children: Henry Clark, Susan M., and George. Henry Clark, who died aged 25 years, was a graduate of the Poland Seminary, after which he took a post-graduate course at Wooster, Ohio, and was studying to be a physician at the time of his death. Susan M. married Elmer Kirkland and has one son, Henry. George resides at home and manages the farm on the Youngstown road.
Mr. Heasley is a director in the Farmers' Deposit and Savings Bank of Poland. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church of the village of Poland.

Reuben D. Burnett, one of the leading citizens of Coitsville township, where he is largely interested in the raising of fine horses, for many years was prominently identified with the coal and lumber interests of this and other sections. Mr. Burnett was born in Austintown township, when it was a part of Trumbull County, Ohio, March 22, 1840, and is a son of Henry and Nancy (Jones) Burnett.
The Burnett family is of Scotch extraction and Henry Burnett, the grandfather, was the founder of the family, first in Connecticut and later in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He remained in the latter place for five years, removing in 1804, to the vicinity of Akron, Ohio, where he took up a large body of land and was one of the earliest pioneers. After living on that farm for a number of years, he came to Austintown township and purchased a farm near Weathersfield, on which he lived for many years before his death. This property was known as the Burnett farm and came into considerable prominence, as on it the first coal bank of this region was located. Henry Burnett (2), the father of Reuben D., was reared on this farm and after the death of his father it came into his possession. It comprised 60 to 0 acres and the family continued to live on it until Reuben D. was four years old, when his father sold it to William Edwards and it is now known under that owner's name!
. His first removal was to what was then Allegheny but is now Mahoning avenue, Youngstown, and from there to the old Osborne farm at Flint Hill, following which he bought what was then known as the Baldwin Mills, in Boardman township, including a grist as well as a sawmill, and these Henry Burnett operated for many years. He finally disposed of his mill property and went into the land improvement business. For some years he lived on Commerce street, Youngstown, where he erected and sold six houses and he also laid out the plat of land which at first was called Burnett's addition to Youngstown, but later was changed to Spraguetown, three brothers by the name of Sprague having purchased the land from Mr. Burnett.
Henry Burnett, as can be seen was a man of many activities. His next business venture was investing in land in the neighborhood of Lansingville, which he divided into lots, making the Lansingville addition to Youngstown. After seeing this enterprise an entire success, Mr. Burnett gave up further business concerns and died on that land in 1879, survived but two years by his widow. Henry Burnett was widely known and was noted for his energy, foresight and enterprise and in many ways he was a very remarkable man.
Henry Burnett was married in early manhood to Nancy Jones, who was a daughter of Samuel Jones, and she was the first child born in Trumbull County, Ohio. Samuel Jones was of Welsh extraction, perhaps emigrated from Wales. He was one of the first pioneers to venture into the forests of Trumbull County, where he became a man of substance. As an echo of those early days comes the story of how he was called upon to serve on the jury which tried a white man for shooting an Indian, this being the first law case in the county.
Eight children were born to Henry and Nancy Burnett, namely: Caroline, deceased, who married Orrin Bartholomew; Mrs. Sarah A. Hultz, a resident of Madison avenue, Youngstown; Mrs. Harriet Marr, residing in Missouri, is the widow of Dr. M.B. Marr, who served as a surgeon in the Civil War and died after his return; Hiram, residing in California; General Henry L., a resident of the city of New York, who recently assisted in trying a very important government case with the attorney-general, to which he was assigned by President Roosevelt, having been United States district attorney for the southern division of New York, for eight years (at the time of the assassination of President Lincoln, he, with Judge Holt, tried the conspirators); Reuben D., subject of this sketch; John L., residing at Youngstown; and Aylett R., residing at Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Reuben D. Burnett attended the Youngstown schools during his boyhood and early youth and then went into the business of shipping horses and dealing generally in stock, his main point of delivery being Philadelphia. Subsequently, in partnership with Nelson Phelps of Chicago, Mr. Burnett too and fulfilled a contract calling for furnishing 2,000 horses for the government, which were delivered at Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Burnett, in the meantime, was engaged in the study of medicine, devoting some three years to the science, and in 1862, when he enlisted for service in the Civil War, entering the Second Battalion, Ohio Cavalry, he was assigned to the position of hospital steward. His term of service covered eighteen months, a part of the time being under Captain, later, General T.W. Sanderson. At Fort Scott, Kansas, Mr. Burnett was seriously injured by the accidental fall of his horse, and he was honorably discharged on this account.
Mr. Burnett returned then to Youngstown where he entered into the coal business, in association with Prof. George E. Howe, of Lancaster, Ohio, F.M. Morrow, of Piqua, and Madison Dye. They organized the Hocking Valley Iron, Coal and Coke Company, of Nelsonville, Ohio, with a capital stock of $600,000, and leased of John W. Scott, 600 acres of coal land, in which the vein lay six and one-half feet thick. Mr. Burnett was president of this company and still retains a large amount of stock. He continued interested in coal lands and in seeking investments in the same, acquired valuable coal properties in Morgan County, Illinois, where he organized the Morgan County Iron, Coal and Coke Company, with a capital stock of $300,000, becoming president of the concern. He remained three years in Illinois and then returned to Mahoning County, after disposing of his interests in Morgan County, and retired to a farm he had purchased some years previously. This was known as the Dr. Kirtl!
and homestead at Poland, and Mr. Burnett resided on this place for ten years.
For a number of years following the sale of the Poland farm, Mr. Burnett resided at Youngstown, having purchased the Michigan Lumber Company's interests. In 1881, however, he returned to the county, purchasing his present farm, which he has continued to improve until it is not only one of the most valuable but also one of the most attractive homes in Coitsville township. Here Mr. Burnett has engaged extensively in raising livestock and has made a specialty of draft and trotting horses, and has owned animals known all over the world for their fine points. At one time he owned Big Timber, which was scheduled as the fastest horse I the world of his weight, which was 1,340 pounds, with a record of 2:12. The death of this fine animal was a great loss and he was interred on the present farm. Mr. Burnett also owned old Star Hambletonian, son of Hero, of Chester, New York, son of Hambletonian No. 10, known as the father of the trotting family of that name in America. Star Ha!
mbletonian was the only son of this sire ever owned in this county. Mr. Burnett takes pride in a noble animal he now owns, the Plunger, son of Chimes.
On August 27, 1860, Mr. Burnett was married to Eliza M. Clark, who is a daughter of Henry and Eliza (Ulp) Clark, the former of whom was born in Connecticut and came to Hubbard, Ohio, in young manhood, where he was married. Mr. and Mrs. Burnett have seven children, as follows: Carrie A., who married M.B. Leslie, an attorney residing at Hubbard; Peter H., residing in New York, where he is an attorney for the Erie Railroad, married Florence Sterling; D. Clifton, a graduate physician and surgeon, residing at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is chief meat inspector for the government of that division, married Flora Williams; James L., a civil engineer, residing at Youngstown, married Mabel Jackson and they have one son, Keith Burnett; Lawrence H., residing at Youngstown, is a civil engineer; Frank T., a veterinary surgeon of Youngstown; and Gertrude, who lives at home. Mr. Burnett is a member of the Disciples Church.
