Hi all!
Cleaning out old files and found the following in "KEYHOLE", a
quarterly pub of Genealogical Society of Southwestern PA, Vol XIII,
No. 2, pg. 77, info submitted by Lyle B. Watson:
Grave of ANDREW CLARK b. Feb 10, 1810, d. Jun 6, 1874,
is located (in 1979) on property owned by William and
Lillian Oates on Rote 136, Nottingham Township, Washington
Co.PA marked by a hugh, elaborate monument surrounded by
an iron fence.
He served as Justice of Peace at various times from 1845
to 1873. 1850 census lists Jane as head of household with
son Andrew, age 39, JP and son David, age 24, farmer.
Pigeon Creek Presbyterian Church burial records include:

Maybe this will help someone!

Hi,
Is anyone out there researching Clarks in these locations?
Dixmont, ME from 1820-1880
Frankfort, ME before 1820
Gouldsborough, ME before 1820
Ossippe, NH 1770-1820
Milton, NH 1770-present

I have recently discovered that my grandfather was born in Newark, NJ on 11
APR 1901 as Harry Joseph CLARK son of Harry CLARK and Adeline (Adalena)
HORTER. The father - also Harry - was 19 at the time as per the son's birth
certificate and the mother was 18. That would make the father's birth as
1881 or 1882. I know the mother's birthdate as 30 APR 1882. Harry the
father supposedly died when the son was 2 or 3 and the mother remarried a
son of the mayor of Newark in 1908 who adopted the son at some point and
changed his middle and last names.
My questions -
Does anyone have a Harry Clark b. abt 1881 probably in NJ and probably
around the Newark area? Does anyone know what the occupation - Property
Master is? That is what is listed on the son's birth certificate as being
the father's occupation. I am trying to find out anything more about Harry
Clark the father of my grandfather. The only info I have is what I just
mentioned from his son's birth certificate.
Thanks for all replies.

Laura,
The Orange S. Clark I'm looking for was from Groton, VT. Thanks for the
post.
Don
I did get your msg, Robert, but by way of a friend - but I could not see
your e-mail addr
So, Robert, if you will send me your e-mail addr, I can answer U
personally.
So far, I see no info familiar to me and my Line of Clarks - tho I have
heard or read of another Clark Fam that was related to Elizabeth, NJ as I
can recall -
Abraham Clark (1726-1794) was a signer of the Declaration of
Independence, political leader during the Revolutionary War from New
Jersey. born in Elizabethtown, NJ
We have an Abraham Clark in my Line, and someone in our Family thot that
our Abraham was the Signer - well, I may be the Black Sheep in the
family, bucuz I went to my World Book Encyc to see if it was true, and it
wasn't - birthdates wrong, place of birth wrong - we need to be MORE
CAREFUL when and if we jump to conclusions w/o checking things out. If
it gets published or goes into the Archives somewhere & gets on Record -
others may accept it POINT BLANK. It is well to CHECK , but NOT ASSUME,
and to use COMMON SENSE as much as possible - then the Copy is not
blighted with incorrect info. Always getting correct info is not always
possible - then we should note the difference in such a way that the info
is not "copied" as being absolute truth. We are all copiers - that's the
easy route - but is it the accurate route for others to have to contend
with. Problems arrise in clarity if we just point blank COPY W/O using
common sens and have a questioning mind.
End of Sermon - Amen!
Carroll H. Clark - who has seen what copying can do to the data we want
others to have and enjoy.

To all CLARKE list subscribers,
This is just a suggestion--------PLEASE mention the State or country in
your requests for information. I have received over 500 messages
requesting information on people being researched. I have sent at least
75% of those to the trash because no State was given. There are just too
many Clark(e)s with the same given name scattered throughout the US. To
give the State where your subject was known to reside would make it a
lot easier for others to make a connection.
Thanks, Bob Clark
CLARK - Need help on Clark in Franklin County, Georgia. Wiley
Clark lived in this county 1830 through 1860. He was married to
Frances Whitehead. Children in 1860, all born in Georgia: Sarah A
b 1829; Terrissa G b 1832; Mary b 1838; Elizabeth b 1839; Irvin b
1840; Artamesia b 1842; Destimony b 1845; Labra b 1849; William R
b abt 1850; Wiley b abt 1851; there are two older sons and two
older daughters. One son may be John M b 1828. Wiley's father may be
Thomas Clark, Revolutionary Soldier, who was born in Granville
County, NC on July 22, 1761. Thomas moved to Franklin County in
the 1820s. Any help in establishing this line will be appreciated.
Victoria,
KEY is one of my husband's lines. (I have a Mary KEY, d/o Richard, that
married Matthias CHITWOOD, 1751, Norhtumberland, co. VA, but have done nothing
with this one.) The KEYs are a tangled group. Have you been to Gene KEY's web
page ? http://members.aol.com/GKey272208/index.html
He is also on aol. This is the same branch my husband is attached to. I don't
have much on the CLARK line. so far as I know the parents of Mary CLARK, wife
of Henry, who died in Edgefield,Dist., SC after 1776 hasn't been proven.
The William B. Clark ( wonder if the "B" is BIBB ?) that married Elizabeth Key
Bostick; and again this is confusing- the Key was her middle name. Her mother
was Elizabeth KEY, second husband was John G. Bostick. Wm. B. Clark could have
been a cousin.
The following was sent to me by Gene KEY, thought you might enjoy it.

THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE SURNAME KEY
The most ancient surname of KEY makes an impressive claim to being
one of the oldest Anglo/Saxon surnames on record. The history of the name is
closely woven into the tapestry of the ancient chronicles of England.
Professional researchers have carefully scrutinized the ancient manuscripts
of the Doomsday Book (1086), the Ragman Rolls (1291-1296), the Curia Regis
Rolls, The Pipe Rolls, The Hearth Rolls, parish registers, baptismal, tax
records and other ancient documents and found the first record of the name
KEY in Yorkshire where they were seated from the very ancient times, some say
from well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at
Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Many different spellings were encountered in the research of this name.
Although the spelling KEY occurred in many manuscripts and documents, from
time to time the surname was also spelled KEYES, KEY, KEYS, KEYE, KEYSE, and
these variations in spelling frequently occurred, even between father and
son. Scribes and church officials, often traveling great distances, even from
other countries, frequently spelt the names they were recording as they heard
it. As a result the same person could find different spellings of the
same name recorded on birth, baptismal, marriage and death certificates as
well as the other numerous records such as tax and census records.
The Saxon race gave birth to many English surnames not the least of which was
the surname of Key. The Saxons were invited into England by the ancient
Britons in the 5th century. They were a race of fair skinned people living
along the Rhine valley as far North as Denmark. They were led by
General/Commanders Hengist and Horsa. The Saxons settled in the county of
Kent, on the South East coast of England. Gradually, they probed North and
Westward, and during the next four hundred years forced the Ancient Britons
back into Wales and Cornwell in the West, Cumberland to the North. The
Angles, on the other hand, occupied the Eastern coast, the South folk in
Suffolk, North folk in Norfolk. Under Saxon rule England prospered under a
series of High Kings, the last of which was Harold. In 1066, the Norman
invasion from France occurred and their victory at the Battle of Hastings.
Subsequently, many of the vanquished Saxon land owners forfeited their land
to Duke William and his invading Norman nobles. Generally, the Saxons who
remained in the South were not treated well under the Norman rule, and many
moved Northward to the midlands, Lancashire and Yorkshire away from the
Norman oppression.
This notable English family name, Key, emerged as an influential name in the
county of Yorkshire where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity
and were Lords of the Manor of Oakenshaw and estates of that shire. Within
the next century they branched to Oldstede and to Thornberry in
Gloucestershire, and into Kent. They flourished on their estates for several
centuries. Their present family seats are at Burnt Wood and Fulford Hall.
Notable amongst the family at this time was Keyes of Yorkshire.
During the middle ages the surname KEY flourished and played an important
role in local affairs and in the political development of England. During
the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries England was ravaged by plagues and
religious conflict. Puritanism, the newly found religious fervor of
Cromwellianism, and the remnants of the Roman Church rejected all non
believers, each promoting their own cause. The conflicts between Church
groups, the Crown and political groups all claimed their followers, and their
impositions, tithes, and demands on rich and poor alike broke the spirit of
men and many turned away from religion. Many families were freely
"encouraged" to migrate to Ireland, or to the "Colonies." Some were rewarded
with grants of lands and others were banished. Some families were forced to
migrate to Ireland where they became known as the Adventurers for land in
Ireland. Protestant settlers "undertook" to keep their faith, being granted
lands previously owned by the Catholic Irish. They were known as the
"Undertakers." In Ireland they settled in county Donegal.
The New World offered better opportunities and some migrated voluntarily,
some were banished mostly for religious reasons. Some left Ireland
disillusioned, but many left directly from England, their home territories.
Some also moved to the European continent.
Members of the family name Key sailed aboard the huge armada of three masted
sailing ships known as the "White Sails" which plied through the stormy
Atlantic. These overcrowded ships such as the Hector, the Dove and Rambler,
were pestilence ridden, sometimes 30% to 40% of the passenger list never
reaching their destination, their numbers reduced by dysentery, cholera,
small pox and typhoid. In North America, included amongst the first migrants
which could be considered a kinsman of the surname Key, or a variable
spelling of that family name was John Key who settled in the
Barbados in 1634; Adam Key settled in Virginia in 1639; Peter Key settled
in Virginia in 1653; Thomas and Sarah Key settled in Virginia in 1649;
William Key settled with his wife and servants in the Barbados in 1680;
Thomas and Daniel Keys settled in Virginia in 1638.

Searching for Orange CLARK m. Betsey/Elizabeth FROST early 1800s. They
had a son William Frost CLARK m. Lois HEATH. Orange was possibly from
Swanton and William was born in Waterford, lived in Groton.

Hello. I just thought that I would send you my name because I have the names
Tandy, Key, and Clark in my family. I have found from my research that
children were sometimes named after other in their families. As my research
progessess I might find out that your Tandy Key Clark was in mine. I was
wondering how far back you have gone. I have Tandy in VA about 1700. I have
no idea where they went from there. I have Clark in AL and haven't been able
to trace them. My Key's were in VA from late 1600 on. They moved to AL
later on about 1750. Please send me some more names that I might be able to
find in my files.
Good luck
Victoria

While looking for Samuel M. Clark in the 1880 Federal Census from Clay County
Al. I ran across several Clark families. I thought I would post them here
in case anyone is searching for them. Please understand that the hand writing
was difficult to read and I may have made a mistake trying to figure some of
them out. Anything I was uncertain of is marked with an asterik.
