Hi listers,
I have run into a brick wall trying to locate any information on my grandmother Edna Clarke. I know she was born in the Boston area in 1900, and married Lloyd Cummings in the 1920's.
I believe Edna's father was Edward, and the only information I have about him is that he came from Scottland.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Lee and all interested:
The Colonial Clark DNA Project may be accessed and/or participated in by going to:
http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=H45375&special=True
The link to freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~hjohnson will take you to both the Johnson and Clark DNA databases. My husband's file number is 9434; he is a descendant of Thomas Clark Sr. who was in Pulaski County, KY, 1799-1810. There are, to date, no exact matches for this line. He is 3 mismatches from the closest match--Francis Clark and Cordelia Lankford's descendants.

Sharon,
Do you have approximate dates for this John Clark and Margaret Johnson? I
am looking for a John Clark, who md. Margaret, parents of Jesse Clark, b.
1823/4, West Virginia / VA (probably Doddridge County). I know that Margaret
was b. about 1805, Virginia but no last name other than Clark. According to
at least one of the census reports (according to Jesse or Margaret) John was
b. in NJ. Margaret died Feb 14, 1899 Doddridge County, WV, "age near 100".
Other than that I am at a brick wall with John and Margaret. On the 1850
census, Margaret is living with Jesse and his wife Charlotte (Fitz-Randolph)
and no John is listed.

How can I as a male Clark get envolved? Where is the web site?
Another thing about the DNA study is that the participant must be a male with
a direct line of CLARK descendancy. What some of us did who are female
descendants was to help pay for the participants to submit their own DNA. The cost
for the 25 marker test is listed on the web site but it is about $160, I
think. Some folks have done the 12 marker test due to it costing less. As Mitzi
said, this is helpful but the 25 marker is much more meaningful. If you did
the 12 marker you can still ask to have the extended test done but you will
have to pay the additional money. You do NOT have to resubmit your DNA, though.
Our CLARK line included three probable brothers Eli, John, and Henry.(They
also had sisters Hester and Mary and supposedly had other siblings, indluding 5
or 6 brothers.) We now know that Eli and John were brothers and we are
awaiting the results for Henry. We have some lore that says one of their brothers
moved to Mississippi or Alabama. These guys were in Burke County, GA for the
1805 and 1807 land lottery. Supposedly they were in "the Carolinas" before that.
John was born in 1768. We don't know their parents but the DNA study should
help us locate other family. Sure hope some other CLARK descendants will
join us cause it could definitely help break down some of our walls -- and
theirs. Sandy

Comments on the Clark DNA study that Sharon mentioned:
Not to offend anyone, but regarding the DNA matches, my personal opinion is
that the 12 marker test is (at least sometimes) not conclusive for a match.
Many of the Clarks, including the assumed line of Francis and Cordelia, are
very close to the Atlantic Modal Type which means that the results of these
Clarks is the MOST common value for Europeans along the Atlantic Coast. My
line of Clarks was one number off from the Atlantic Modal Type in the 12
marker test, and even so, we matched with many people who weren't even of
the same surname. We had no non-surname matches on the 25 marker test. (I
should add that twelve markers can be enough to link lines if the values are
uncommon, but not in the case of a common haplogroup.)
For example, Sharon, your brother was only one off from # 2821 on the 12
marker, but he didn't match at all on the extended 13 markers. (They aren't
posted on the site for some reason?)
Because of these things, I'm uncertain about the proven line back to Francis
and Cordelia.
Our four GA Clarks in the study (three of whom were thought to be, but not
proven related) matched perfectly on the 12 marker test. On the 25 marker
test, there were one and two markers that were non-matches (considered
mutations), so we still matched. Twenty-three or more out of twenty-five
markers are considered a match. We are still awaiting the results for the
last 13 markers on one man.
Our 12 marker results are only one marker off from a Clark whose line is
thought to be that of Bolling, son of Christopher Clark, but my guess is
that we probably wouldn't match on the 25 markers. (That's because we have
the more unusual value of 15 for locus # 19, and the other Clark has the
common value of 14.)
Thus, we are still basically stuck in GA until more Clarks join the study
and enable us to find a more distant match.
For the record, the Clark DNA test is a Y chromosome test that only uses
"junk" DNA. In other words, the results show NOTHING about diseases, etc.
that could be used by an insurance company against someone. The Y
chromosome is passed from father to son and remains virtually unchanged
through generations except for occasional mutations.
I'm not an expert on Y chromosome DNA, but I've been on the Rootsweb
Genealogy DNA list for quite a while and am trying to learn as much as
possible.
If I recall correctly the Clark surname was the 8th most common about 1790.
Therefore, DNA is a marvelous tool to sort out which Clarks do and which
ones don't have a common ancestor. Our Clarks pitched in on the cost, by
the way.
Currently, there are 33 Clarks in the study. Hope many more join in 2004,
so we can unravel the mysteries of our Clark Clan.

Mitzi Clark Bateman

Hello,
I found some information on the internet that indicates John Clark who
married Margaret Johnson was the son of Christian Stone and Francis
Clark, born abt 1721 in Hanover Co., VA and Francis was the son on
Cordelia Langford and Francis Clark.
Since Margaret and John had a son named Caleb Clark, I think this might
be my Caleb's family, although their Caleb is 7-10 years older than my
Caleb was supposed to be.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Francis:

and shows two mismatches when compared to 1839, 4989, 7456, 8218, 9992
and 10065.
Francis Clark's name first appears Oct 10, 1703, according to Hinshaw's
Encyclopedia , when he signed a marriage certificate at Wm Porters,
Henrico Co., VA. Next, his name appears at a Monthly Meeting in Henrico
Co., VA where he is advised that he must declare his intentions to

Hi Mike,
I will take you up on your kind offer. I am looking for the husband of
Rene Clark Stark, ne: Serena Levina Clark. Serena was born in
Crittenden Co., Ky on Aug. 13, 1853. She migrated with her family to
TX. She married a Stark, first name unknown and later settled in the
Hollene community in Curry Co., NM. She is buried in the Hollene
Cemetery. Her sister, Rebecca Frances Clark Sagely and husband John
Allen Sagley are also buried in the Hollene Cemetery but not the unknown
Stark.

Is there any way for you to check to see if this in fact was her husband?

Hi Joe;
The only Caleb's I have were born in 1824 and his son in 1859. The son died
at 4 months. Caleb, Sr. was the son of Samuel and Ann (Stebbins) Clark. The
info I have has an "e" on the last name.
As for Ephraim, at this point, I only have one that was born in 1751, but
died in 1759. I will look in my "not related" file to see if I find any in
there and I'll get back to you.
Hope you had a good Holiday and hope you have an awesome New Year!

Hello Clark Researchers, Sharon Clark from Fort Worth writes that her family has been working on her Clark family for nearly 50 years and I am at that brick wall after 20 years of work. Please help me!! My ggggrandfather, Charles Clark was born in PA 1795. He served in the War of 1812 and I have exhausted those military records. He married Alia Ann McCoy in 1826 in Washington Co., PA. They started a family in PA and then migrated to Morgan Co., OH abt. 1833. I know the rest of the story but I can't get back further than Charles' birthdate of 5-9-1795. I believe Charles and Alia Ann lived in Robinson Twn., Washington Co. which also was partly Allegheny Co. in the early 1800's. Does anyone have any knowledge of this Charles Clark/ Alia Ann McCoy? I will gladly share my research. Happy New Year all you Clark researchers. Cornelia Clark Browne

Subject: [Clarke-Clark] Palmer Clark, early 1800s, Long Island, NY
Francis W. Clark(e) and Lucy Palmer moved with their four children;
Benjamin, Susan, Palmer, and Francis, to what is now East Marion on the
North Fork of Long Island in about 1790. Benjamin, Susan and Francis
and their descendants can be found in records of the North Fork for
several generations thereafter. Brothers Benjamin and Palmer were
captured on their boat by the British in the war of 1812. This is the
last mention of Palmer I can find on the North Fork. In his 1857
journal, Augustus Griffin wrote: "...At his death, which was some twenty
odd years ago, he [Francis W.] left three sons, viz: Benjamin, Francis,
and Palmer; and daughter - Susan. Palmer and Susan (a good woman) are
gone to their final rest."
I am trying to trace what became of Palmer. I have run across the
following items, but cannot tell if they are related to the same Palmer
Clark or a different one.
In 1816 a Palmer Clark married a Sylvia Place in NYC.
1829-30 Manhattan, NYC Directory
Clark Palmer fisherman 17 Duane
1840 City Directory for Brooklyn, New York:
Clark Palmer fisherman 58 Adams
http://dentons.acun.com/Old%20Hempstead%20Burial%20Ground.htm
Old Town Burial Ground, Hempstead, L. I., N. Y.
173. Palmer Clark, died June 20, 1846.
173. Sophia Clark, died Nov. 16, 1842.
172. James Place, died Aug. __, 1799. (Age not given).
172. Sarah Smith Place, wife of James, died Feb. 3, 1838, aged 83
yrs.. 29 days.
174. Thomas Place, died Feb. 1, 1848, aged 54. yrs., 10 mos., 12 days.
175. Esther Probasco Place, died May 7, 1838, aged 44 yrs., l0 Mos.
An Asa P. Clark (possibly a son of Palmer?) married Olive P. Brooks in
Queens, NY, 24 Oct, 1845. An Asa P. Clark was listed in the 1850 and
1860 censuses living in East Marion with Palmer's brother Benjamin.
Asa, wife Olive and son Sidney are buried in the Francis W. Clark(e)
plot in Sterling cemetery in Greenport.
A Francis L. Clark was baptized in 1845 in Hempstead, Queens Co., Long
Island, NY. His parents were Francis Clark (could this be anothe son of
Palmer?) and Louisa Rackett (a North Fork family?).
I would appreciate any information that might help determine whether or
not these records are connected to the Palmer Clark line of East Marion,
NY.

Subject: [Clarke-Clark] CLARKs of Guilford Co., NC
Hello,
I have just learned of a Caleb Clark, born 12 Dec 1787 to Margaret
JOHNSON and John CLARK. This information was sent to me by Susan Davis,
who is researching this family, and it's from the New Garden Monthly
Meeting, Guilford Co., NC. It lists the following children born to
Margaret and John Clark, and it shows they were married 29 Mar 1773:
Jesse b. 12-24-1773
Francis b. 10-12-1775
Jonathon b. 8-8-1777
James b. 4-19-1779
Nicholas b. 1-14-1781
Christiana b. 2-4-1783
Jehu b. 5-17-1785
Caleb b.12-12-1787
Benjamin b. 3-29-1789
After Margaret's death (16 Jun 1790), John Married a second time on 8
Feb 1792 to Martha Thomburg, a widow, daughter of Hanry and Hannah
Ballenger.
If anyone has any information on these Clarks, PLEASE contact me. This
may be the Caleb my family has been hunting for almost 50 years, but we
show our Caleb was born 1794, as he signed an application for bounty
land in 1851 and said he was 57 years old. If this is my Caleb, Susan
sent me one of the best Christmas presents I have ever received.
Thanks.
Best wishes,

Subject: [Clarke-Clark] Looking for any EPHRAIM CLARK(E), born before 1900
I'm establishing a data base for any EPHRAIM CLARK(E), born before 1900,
and their ancestors and descendants.
Collectively, as a group of researchers, using information contained in
your files, we should be able to identify all of them.
I will enter all the data you supply with your email address as the
source and as we get multiple individuals researching the same ancestor,
I will send out emails with a consolidated descendant report to all those
individuals with all the email addresses so that you can communicate
directly with each other.
I currently have a data base of 25,000 Clarks primarily born before 1800,
so I have
a lot of Ephraim Clark(e)s already entered. This research "group" effort
should expand and refine what I already have.
As an example, there are 12 Ephraim Clark listed on the 1790 census, 18
on the 1800 census, 21 on the 1810 census, etc., which indicates that
this should be not an impossible task to define all the Ephraim
Clark(e)s. As a researcher, you possess data from church records, land
deeds, wills, bible records, family lore. etc., that is not available via
internet research, and we need this data to completely define the various
Ephraim Clark(e) lines.
This is a hobby with me and my data base has and will always be shared
with everybody, freely, and will continue to be in the future... (just a
disclaimer to let you know I have no commercial goals..)
Hoping I get flooded with LOTS of info...

Sharon,
One note--I believe Martha Thomburg should be Martha Thornburg. The Thornburg/Thornborough/Thornbrough (w/all its variety of spelling variations) family were prominent and lived on the Guilford/Randolph county line. There was a Thornborough plantation adjacent to old Samuel Clark's plantation. Samuel Clark, however, was Presbyterian--not Quaker--so it's doubtful his Clark line was related to John Clark. There are hints that Samuel's family intermarried with the Thornborough family, and it is possible that Samuel's unknown wife was a Thornborough. On the other hand, I have been corresponding with someone who has been researching the Orange County Clarks, who we think to be related to Samuel Clark, and she believes there must be a Quaker connection somewhere. I have yet to find any hard evidence.
