Looking for a Clark(e) family in England, probably in the Kent/Surrey area. (Family records show the "e" at the end, but that may not be standard.)
Anthony William CLARKE, surgeon m. ??_____
Children:
1.) Frances Anne Mary CLARKE b. Halgen house, Ashford, Kent 20 Jul 1833; m. 13 Feb 1856 to Niels Peter AARIS, at St. Mary's Newington, Surrey, England; d. approx 1903-4 in England
2.) Sidney Edward CLARKE b. 24 Aug 1839.
3.) Charles Guyon CLARKE b. 13 Feb 1849.
My family had communicated by mail with Frances Anne Mary Clark(e) until her death.
Family oral history says she lived to age 70 (death date then is 1903-4) & was buried in mausoleum in Clarke family plot, England (but exactly where?). She had 2 brothers: Sidney Edward Clark(e)b. 24 Aug 1839 and Charles Guyon Clark(e) b. 13 Feb 1849.
I found Frances' marriage certificate, where she married in St. Mary's Newington, Surrey, 13 Feb 1856 to Niels Peter Aaris, a merchant (who owned his own ship, per oral family history). Frances' father is listed on the marriage certificate as Anthony William Clarke, surgeon. The addresses for both Frances and Niels are given as Newington Place. One of their sons, Percy Aaris, was born in Margate, Kent, England, and later moved to Portland, Oregon.
A visit to Ashford, Kent, England 4 years ago gave me no leads as to where "Halgen House" was, or links to the family. Anyone out there have a connection??

I found my obit for Sally. Her full name was Sarah Elizabeth SEIVER (nee GOLDEN) . She died around 1938 in Dallas Oregon. In the obit it states that she was related to William CLARK of LEWIS and CLARK. But it doesn't say how. The obit also lists 3 other siblings, a Mrs, Eliza C. HATON (HATTON). Mrs, Minerva E. LAMB ( my ggrandmother) and Enoch GOLDEN of OK. Plus her parents John W. GOLDEN and Elizabeth St. CLAIR.(who had a total of 10 children). Any of this sound familiar to anyone ?

RE: DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Welcome to History 101
WOW! Do I ever stand corrected.....It appears I have some work to research.
What a history lesson I just received VIA a woman named Helen D. (last names
will be unpublished). My apologies to the list for any inaccuracies that
"might" have been relayed on. And special thank you to the following
unknown, listed on the mail path of the received below email: (Somebody put
effort into this) Name: Brooke H., having cared enough and been smart
enough, plus being in the right place to search info, and to have taken the
extra time to have investigated this information in the first place, for all
of us. I really did take this on face value. I think you'll all find it
interesting and eye opening. Lesson learned was to always investigate for
myself before assuming. I might have known better, if I had really thought
about it...... I did pass history, even like it.....but it's been so long
ago, I goofed and just let "George do it." Darn that George! No wonder I'm
having such a devil of a time coming up with info on all the George's in my
family line ;o)
So check it out for yourselves....good way to share a bit of history with
your kids or g-kids.
I know I will :o)

>>> As received: Kenny, This piece of propaganda has been floating around
the internet for
some time...and, unfortunately, has made it to some important websites.
I am sorry to say, the historical research is flawed. Here is a response
that I sent to the Northeast Roots group when someone else sent it to the
northeast roots group some time ago. I am posting publically so others may
read, comment on, and correct any errors I might have made in my own
research.
Brooke
On at least one website, Gary Hildreth, of Erie PA, is listed as the
author of "The Price they Paid".
Here is what I have been able to find based on a few hours in my
university's limited library and the book, "The Signers of the
Declaration of Independence", by Robert G. Ferris and Richard E. Morris
of the U.S. National Park Service (Arlington, VA: Interpretive
Publications, Inc., 1982).
NO SIGNER WAS KILLED OUTRIGHT BY THE BRITISH.
Lets examine some of the statements more closely.
>"Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before
they died."
This passage, to me at least, implies that the signer were captured
under charges of treason and died under torture.
Five signers were indeed captured by the British, but not necessarily as
traitors.
Richard Stockton (NJ) was the only one who was probably captured and
imprisoned just for having signed the Declaration of Independence.
Ferris and Morris also note that he was not well treated in captivity
and was in ill health when released. He never completely recovered. He
did not die in prison, however.
George Walton (GA) commanded militia at the Battle of Savannah in
December, 1778. He was wounded and captured at that time. Thus he
would have been considered a prisoner of war, not a traitor. He was
released within a year, which implies that his signature on the
Declaration was not as important a factor in his captivity as his active
military role in defending Savannah (prisoners of war were exchanged on
a regular basis, a traitor would have been hanged). Walton lived to
serve as Governor of Georgia and U.S. Senator, dying in 1804.
Thomas Heyward, Jr., Arthur Middleton, and Edward Rutledge (SC) were all
captured at the Siege of Charleston in 1780. They were held at St.
Augustine (then under British control) until September 1781 with other
Continentals.
Two months after his release, Arthur Middleton returned to Philadelphia
to resume his seat in the Continental Congress. Despite the destruction
of his estate, he was able to rebuild it and live there until his death
in 1787.
Edward Rutledge sat in the State Legislature from 1782 to 1798. He was
elected Governor of South Carolina but died before completing his
term...in 1800. Ferris and Morris report that he died a very wealthy
man.
Thomas Heyward, Jr. served as a circuit court judge from 1782 to 1787.
He served as a state legislator at the same time. Heyward lived well
into the 19th century, dying in 1809.
I checked about 8 general histories of the American War for Independence
and one or two specialized works on the southern campaigns. None of them
even mentioned that signers had been captured at Charleston or Savannah,
let alone mention that any were singled out for harsh treatment. This
seems to indicate that their capture was part of the "normal" course of
war, not a special effort.
After the British took Charleston, Gen. Sir Henry Clinton had men of
military age left in the city rounded up. Most were released soon
after, including most of the militia troops. He had originally allowed
the officers to keep their swords, but changed his mind when they began
to shout rebel slogans. Only the Contintental troops were held for any
length of time (Middlekauff, The Glorious Revolution)
I found only one reference to the treatment of prisoners from the
southern campaigns, in Lynn Montross, "Rag, Tag, and Bobtail". This
work states that the continental troops from the siege of Charleston
were held on prison ships. Conditions were poor and about a third of
the prisoners died.
If one takes the word "torture" to mean pain and suffering, then I
suppose these men were tortured. To my mind, however, torture implies
an intentional infliction on pain, usually either to extract information
or to punish. I have found no evidence of the latter.
Here is an interesting passage from Larry G. Bowman, North Texas St.
Univ., on Prisoners of war:
"Prisoners of war did suffer during the American Revolution. No other
conclusion can be reached regarding the welfare of captives on both
sides. Men were beaten, deprived of food by corrupt officials, denied
bedding and clothing, and harassed in other ways but, fortunately, such
incidents of outright cruelty were not routine events. Actually, most
of the suffering of the men came from the more subtle torment usually
brought on by neglect on the part of their captors. Neither the
American nor the British authorities sought to induce suffering among
the men in their prisons, yet men did want for basic services. The
shortcomings on both sides of the conflict in providing for the captives
was evident, but the motivations behind the failures were not evil or
vindictive in their origination. Neither party entered a program of
deliberately tormenting prisoners." Encyclopedia of the American
Revolution, v. II, p. 1334 (New York: Garland Publishing, 1993).
>So, when Hildreth writes, "But they signed the Declaration of Independence,
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were
>captured."
The British undoubtedly put a price on the heads of rebel political
officials (not just signers) and the signers no doubt feared that the
British would make good on the threat. The reality is, however, that
none were executed for their treason.
Let's look at another assertion....
>Nine of the fifty-six fought and died from wounds or the hardship of the
> Revolutionary War.
On my list two were wounded in action, but NONE DIED OF WOUNDS. My
count shows 17--not 9--men who held commissions (or did medical duty)
during the war. With the possible exception of Thomas Lynch, Jr. and
Gwinnett, I would not say that any death here was attributable to the
war with the British. Gwinnett's death, though, is hardly glorious:
1. Josiah Bartlett (NH) as surgeon with Gen. John Stark's troops at
Bennington. Bartlett declined national offices (citing fatigue or ill
health) but remained active in state affairs and died in 1794.
2. Button Gwinnett (GA) in a failed campaign to take St. Augustine.
Killed in a duel precipitated partly by an argument over military
strategy in 1777.
2a. George Clymer served with the Pennsylvania militia. Died in 1813.
3. Thomas Heyward, Jr. (SC). Wounded in 1779 near Port Royal Island,
SC. Recovered and served in the siege of Charleston. Died 1809.
4. Thomas Lynch, Jr. (SC) Military career cut short by illness in 1775.
He then was elected to the Continental Congress. In an attempt to
restore his health, he left for the West Indies, but was shipwrecked and
killed in 1779.
5. Arthur Middleton (SC) Captured at the siege of Charleston. See
above.
6. Lewis Morris (NY) Brigadier General of Westchester Co. troops during
the NY invasion. After the war, he served in state government and was
active in public affairs. Died 1798.
7. Thomas Nelson, Jr. (VA) commanded the Virginia militia. Served in
several campaigns in Virginia, including Yorktown. Nelson's retirement
from public life was financially motivated. He died in 1789.
8. William Paca (MD) Served in the Maryland militia. After the war, he
was active in MD. affairs and served as a Federal district judge after
the Constitution was ratified. Died in 1799.
9. Caesar Rodney (DE). Brigadier General of militia. Active in
campaigns against Loyalists in Delaware. Despite having advanced skin
cancer, Rodney served as president of Delaware, and speaker of the state
senate until his death in 1783.
10. Benjamin Rush (PA). Appointed surgeon general of the Middle
Department of the Continental Army. Resigned after 8 months in a
dispute over charges he made that the medical corps was not run
properly. Extremely active in public affairs, both medical and
governmental, Rush died in 1813.
11. Edward Rutledge (SC) Served at the battle of Port Royal Island
(1779). Captured at the siege of Charleston. See above.
12. James Smith (PA) Brigadier General of militia. Practiced law until
he retired at age 82 in 1801. He died in 1806.
13. George Walton (GA) Colonel of militia. Wounded at the Battle of
Savannah, 1778. Died in 1804.
14. William Whipple (NH). Brigadier General of militia. Saw quite a bit
of active service, including the Saratoga and Newport campaigns. Died,
aged 55, in 1785.
15. William Williams (CT). Colonel of militia to 1776. Mostly active in
state affairs, he died in 1811.
16. Oliver Wolcott (CT). Rose to Major General of militia. Wolcott
served in the Saratoga campaign and the defense of Ct. against loyalist
raids from NY. Lived to attend the Constitutional Convention and to
serve as Governor of Ct. Died 1797.
Some, like John Hart or Thomas Nelson, died of fatigue or exhaustion
brought on by travel and active service. In that sense, the war may
indeed have shortened their lives. Then again, how can we know in an
age where illness was so commonplace. By the way, would we accept
"fatigue" as a cause of death today? Or would we find some more precise
explanation. In any case, I don't know if I would list this cause of
death in the same sentence as a reference to battle service.
Now....Let's look at some of the personal stories told....
>Carter Braxton of Virginia, wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships
> swept from the sea by the British navy. He sold his home and properties to
>pay
his debts, and died in rags.
Ferris and Morris tell a similar story, but watch the twist:
"The War for Independence brought financial hardships to Braxton. At its
beginning, he had invested heavily in shipping, but the British captured
most of his vessels and ravaged some of his plantations and extensive
landholdings. COMMERCIAL SETBACKS IN LATER YEARS RUINED HIM." (p. 42).
If Braxton sold his home, he did not sell all of them. This entry also
notes that Braxton was able to retain his family seat at Chericoke, and
died in his Richmond townhouse.
No doubt Braxton's fortunes were changed by the war, but can we say,
truthfully, that his death in poverty was entirely due to the sacrifices
of war???
>Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his
>family almost constantly. He served in Congress without pay, and his family
>was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was
his
>reward.
So far, this is correct. But Ferris and Morris state that McKean was
able to rebuild his fortune" "McKean lived out his live quietly in
Philadelphia. He died in 1817 at the age of 83, survived by his second
wife and four of the 11 children from his marriages. He was buried in
Laurel Hill Cemetery. HIS SUBSTANTIAL ESTATE CONSISTED OF STOCKS,
BONDS, AND HUGE LAND TRACTS IN PENNSYLVANIA (p. 102).
> British soldiers looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton,
> Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge and Middleton.
Also William Floyd (NY), John Hart (NC), William Hooper (NC), Philip
Livingston (NY), Lewis Morris (NY).
Oddly, enough, however, the British had the opportunity to loot the
homes of several very prominent signers and did not do so. Although the
British evacuated Boston before the signing, why didn't the British
vandalize the homes of well-known rebels such as Sam Adams and John
Hancock during their occupation of Boston?
The British occupied Philadelphia through the winter of 1777, yet the
homes of Benjamin Franklin (who surely must have been public enemy #1),
James Wilson, Benjamin Rush, Robert Morris were not damaged. James Wilson's
home was attacked by Americans, including militiamen, during food shortages
in
1779 (does it count if the suffering was caused by your own side?).
Thomas Jefferson was almost captured at Monticello. Why didn't the
British burn the estate?
>At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr. noted that the British
> General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.
> The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire, which was
> done. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Ferris and Morris also repeat this story, although they qualify it as
"family legend". Nelson was unable to rebuild his fortunes after the
war and did indeed die in poverty.
> Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The British jailed
> his wife, and soon after she died.
This is true. Although Lewis lived until 1802 (and was 89 when he died),
he essentially retired from public life after his wife's death.
>John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13
> children fled for their lives. His fields and his grist mill were laid
> waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning
> home after the war to find his wife dead, his children vanished. A few
weeks
> later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
The story is essentially true, but Hart survived two years after his
return from exhile, not a few weeks.
Morris and Livingston suffered similar fates
Philip Livingston, a member of the extremely influential NY Livingston
family, had several properties in New York and Brooklyn that were
occupied by the British. He sold other properties to support the war
effort before fleeing the British occupation of NY. He died, at the age
of 62, in 1778.
There were two signers of the Declaration surnamed Morris. LEWIS Morris
of New York, had to flee his home, Morrisania, which was damaged in the
British occupation. Ferris and Morris note that he was able to rebuild
Morrisania.
ROBERT Morris, of Pennsylvania may be even more intriguing. Generally
recognized for his fundraising efforts during the war, he was later
accused (though vindicated) by Thomas Paine of profiteering. As
Superintendent of Finance (1781-1784) he was responsible for keeping the
young country afloat financially. In 1789, he declined to serve as
Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton got the job), but served
instead as a Senator from PA. Morris' own financial dealings were not
as successful. He speculated on western lands on credit, lived
extremely well, and embarked on an ambitious home building project. All
of this led to personal bankruptcy and time in debtor's prison in 1798.
His wife was granted a pension that sustained the family. Robert Morris
died in 1806.
So there you have it. A grain of truth in everything, but some broad
wording that makes for a good story but an inaccurate portrayal of our
founders.

I got this from one of the other lists I belong to. I thought it might
fit in with our research of our families and their history and because
of the Fourth of July rapidly approaching. I know that this isn't
exactly specific to genealogy, but thought all might find it
interesting.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured
before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two
sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were
farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But
they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the
penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships
swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and
properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay,
and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.
He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was
destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed
his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13
children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid
to waste. For more than a year, he lived in forests and caves,
returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few
weeks later, he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These
were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men
of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty
more.
Standing talk straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support
of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine
providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor."
They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books
never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We
didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time
and we fought our own government!
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July Holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they
paid. Remember: Freedom is never free!
I hope you will show your support by please sending this to as many
people as you can. It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT
a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and
baseball games.
Does anybody have a marriage between a CLARK and a GOLDEN ?
According to my Mom, the obit of my Great aunt stated that she was a direct descendent of CLARK of LEWIS and CLARK . The aunts name was Sally GOLDEN. Her obit would be from the 1930's or early 40's
in the Dallas Oregen vicinity.
My problem(s) are,
1. Mom can't find her copy of the obit.
2. GOLDEN is the maiden name and we don't know if Sally ever married.
Any idea's or suggestions ?

Dear Friends
We are researching our Clarke ancestors from Lincolnshire, particularly
Leake.
I am keen to follow this line as they are ancestors of my maternal
Grandfather, who celebrated his 64th wedding anniversary on Sunday.
Grandpa and Grandma would be thrilled to learn of any new links.
I have attached a brief plain format family report. We have much more
information and I would be pleased to forward it in enriched text if you are
interested.
We would be delighted to hear from you if you recognise any familiar names
or placenames.

List, I have a copy of a will for a Wm. CLARK written March 3, 1787 in
Orange Co., NC. In it he mentions sons James, Wm., and John and daughters
Susanna and Hannah. His wife is Mary. He also talks about money in PA.
Does anyone know more about this family? I want to see if there is a tie
between this family and two others I am researching. One of these families
starts out in PA and moves to the Carolinas in the late 1700's. The other I
pick up in Burke Co. GA in 1802 and they settle in GA. Sandy slsamz(a)aol.com
Hullo Clarke List,

My first record of Thomas H. [Hunt] CLARKE was a Family Bible entry
indicating he departed from Liverpool on Jan. 3, 1849, and arrived in New
York Feb. 23, 1849. From this I checked the passenger list at the Archives
and found he came from Ireland as a passenger on the ship GERTRUDE. He is
also listed in the Famine Book. I know he married and had four children,two
sons Thomas and James, and Mary and Etta, (neither daughter married). I know
nothing about his death. My goal is to find his birthplace in Ireland, where
he died and where he is buried. I would appreciate any guidance and I Thank
you. Shirley

Death/date: unknown

Children: Thomas Hunt CLARKE married Clara Newton JARRETT

Would this Clarke list have anyone doing research in old Clarke county, KY?
1780's to 1805 around that era. Doris

-------------------------
I am trying to trace birth of my greatgrandfather Patrick CLARK born in
Ireland circa 1841.He came to Sunderland, Co. Durham, England and married
a Mary Gibson. I am not sure where Mary was born.
I would like more information on John Clarke born 12 Aug 1765, Died 13
Sep 1844, who married Molly/Polly (Mary?) Dandridge - possibly in New
Kent County, Virginia. They were the parents of Dandridge W. Clarke, my
great grandfather, born 1796 in New Kent County, Virginia and died 1874
in Richmond, Virginia. Dandridge W. Clarke married Martha Pumphrey B:
1803 in New Kent County, Virginia. D. W. and Martha Clarke were the
parents of Robert Dandridge Clarke Born 16 Feb 1835 in New Kent County,
and died 1 Jan 1916 in New Kent County. R. D. Clarke's second (?) wife
was Charlotte (Lottie) Belle Watkins Born 23 Jul 1872 in Henrico County,
Virginia and Died 27 Dec 1944 in Richmond, Virginia. Lottie was my
paternal grandmother, and R.D. was my grandfather.
Thank you,
