I had a similar experience in Chenango Co. In 1981, the NY State Dept
. of Transportation wanted to widen the county road (#23) that runs
from Cincinnatus (Cortland Co.) eastward to Pharsalia. They knew there
was a private cemetery that had to be moved in order for the road to be
widened --- the "Bolster-Edwards" Cemetery which sat on a hill
overlooking the existing road. Since there were 10 markers still in
existence, they assumed there were 10 burials on the site. When they
began to exhume the remains for reburial in the North Pitcher Cemetery
(Chenango Co.), they found that they actually had 64 burials. 55 of
those burials were my Bolster ancestors. My g-X-4-grandfather
purchased the property on which the cemetery stood in 1809 and when he
died in 1819, he most surely must have been the first burial in the
space. How sad that I learned about this cemetery 10 years after its
removal. I would have loved to have made a visit to that place.

Hi Wes, I have searching for my great grandfather James C. Clark, living in
Burlington, N.J. I have only found him in the 1920 an 30 census. His father
; John came from Scotland , as did James. Both were florists. I really don't
believe he was related to your family. He had three children. He was born
about 1868 and I know he was still alive in the 1940's . His wife Emily died
between 1920 and 30. Clark is a pretty common name but it is interesting that
both lived in Burlington.....James lived in Riverton. I just wrote to get
info. on obtaining his death certificate, but believe it might be futile since
I do not have his date of death.
Maybe they do it differently . Well sorry I couldn't be of more help....I
just thought I would respond to your post since oddly enough they lived in
Burlington, and I was searching at the same time.
Greetings!
I am seeking the parents or siblings of WESLEY H. CLARK (b. abt. 1818 d. 1888 - Burlington Co., NJ). I don't know what the "H." stands for. He married PHEBE GASKILL in NJ in 1841. They lived in Burlington County, New Jersey, just about all of their lives, in New Hanover, Chesterfield, Crosswicks, Pointville, Bordentown, Wrightstown.
Wesley H. Clark is my 2nd great grandfather.
I have Phebe's Gaskill lineage back to 1600.
Wesley and Phebe Clark had as children:
Ellen Amy Clark - b. 1 Mar 1842 d. aft. 1869
Charles Gilbert Clark - b. 1843 d. 1932
Sarah Elizabeth Clark - b. 1848 d. 7 Jan 1885
Phoebe A. Clark - b. 1849 d. 7 Jan 1885
John Wesley Clark - b. 8 Jul 1850 d. 19 Jul 1922
Oliver H.P. Clark - b. 1853 d. Aft. 1897
Achsah Emily Clark - b. 7 Jan 1855 d. 5 Jun 1924
Hudson S. Ellis - d. Oct 1865
Associated families are Ellis, Hurley, Appleby, Stevenson, Curtis, Davis, and Rauser. (Hudson S. Ellis is described on his October 1865 funeral card as being a son of Wesley Clark. Adoptive, perhaps.)
My genealogical database is at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wesleyhclark/ and http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=wesleyhclark
Any information appreciated, of course! I seem to be the only person working this line...
Please contact me at wes(a)wesclark.com - I will plan to keep this address alive for years and years in case you stumble across this e-mail in an archive.

Two nights ago a local news channel reported that an old Clarke cemetery in
Oswego NY is being excavated for remains as Lowe's (sp?) was going to build on
the property. The reporter said no relatives existed. I was curious as no one
had contacted me! So I wondered if anyone with connections to Oswego New York
Clark had been contacted?
Some family members listed:
John, Sidney and Olive. I couldn't catch their relationship meaning who was pt
ch or grandpt...
any thoughts????
Thanks

Hello To All, I would like information on this family of James Brantley Clark and his wife Elizabeth Petty of Chatham co. NC. James Brantley Clark was a son of Thomas Jefferson Clark. Elizabeth Petty was a sister of Winship Petty. James and Elizabeth lived in the early to mid 1800s. I would like to hear from anyone on this Clark and Petty family. Duane McKenzie. dmckenze(a)hutchtel.net
Looking for information about the above. I have info on his parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Newton was usually called Carl in legal documents. His Mom died in 1880 and his father died in 1882. His guardian was J. H. Black of Sumter County after his father's death. Carl had inherited some land from his grandfather and J. H. Black farmed that land for him. I don't know what happened to Carl. Anyone recognize him? Sandy
Looking for information about Fannie Clark, listed above. Her mother died before she was a month old. On the 1880 census she, her father Charles and her brother Newton "Carl" are living with Matthew Clark, her grandfather in Sumter County. Her Dad died in May of 1882 and G. A. Harper was made her guardian. Harper was the brother of her mother. In Dec. 1883 G. A. Harper asked that B. F. Todd of Terrell county become her guardian. The judge did not grant this and instead B. F. Black become her guardian until 1896. At that point Fannie was 16 years old and B. F. Todd did become her guardian. (Todd was the husband of Mary E. Harper who was the sister of Fannie's mother.) I can't find her after that. She is not on the 1900 census living with B. F. Todd. Anyone out there recognize this Fannie Clark? Sandy
Dick,
You know you don't have to be so rude about this. If it wasn't you then simply delete it no reason to send such a idiotic response back! I didn't realize I sent it to the list; I thought I sent it just to Joe.

Hi Patricia Max..
I do have an Almon Clark b. 29 Mar 1797, probably CT, who m. 8 Nov 1821,
Susan Clark, Probably New Haven Co., CT.
I don't have any more info on Almon or his children. Could this have been
a previous marriage? How firm is your 1802 birth date for Almon?
Parents of Susan were Andrew CLARK, b 12 Nov 1752, Milford, New Haven
Co., CT & Anna CLARK b. 1760, Probably CT. I have the siblings of Susan
as well as the ancestors of her parents..
Do you have the names, dates & places of the kids of Almon? Perhaps there
will be some clues since names tend to repeat in families..

Hello,
I just wanted to add to this conversation that one of my "brick walls"
continues to be .. James CLARKE, probably born in the 1790's,
but I have no idea where.
He could have been from a New England family, or he could have come to RI
around 1825 from places like VA or N.S. Or, of course, he could have come
here from Ireland or "Britiain." There are many possibilities.

Dear Bev,,
I didn't realize that my note had gone to a public website, else I wouldn't have been such an idiot. I was just laughing to myself that someone was looking for a royal connection in my line. I certainly hope I didn't offend anyone.
I really only just started researching my dad's line when he died a couple of months ago. The oldest relative I have is John Boyd Clark Sr.. He was my gggrandfather.
b. 1795 per 1860 census or b. 1791 per obituary in County Monaghan IRE.
Immigrated: 7/1823 in NY
Naturalization: Intention filed 8/11/1882
Completed 8/28/1829 in Borough Twnsh, ?
From 1824-1828 he was an innkeeper in Beaver PA.
d. 12/27/1883 in Beaver PA.
m. Mary Ann ? who was born at the same time, same county
b. 1795 County Monaghan, IRE
d. 12/5/1883 in Beaver PA.
They are both buried in a cemetery with some of their children in Beaver, PA
Children:
Robert b. 1821 M. 9/16/1850 Charlotte Teisinger
Mary Jane b. 1824 m. 10/5/1844 John O'Beny (O'Brian?)
Alexander b. 1825 or 26 m. 10/6/1855 Sophie Neuse in St. Louis MO (My ggrandfather)
Angeline b. 1828 m. Isaac Abraham Edger
Isabell b. 1830 m. Unknown Early
Caroline b. 1832 Robert E. Frye 1859
John Boyd Jr b. 2/12/1835 d. 5/4/1918 m. Lydia Rook, 1862
Thomas b. 1838 m. 2/15/1866 Rebecca Fisher
The only children I have are for Alexander and John.
There are no Samuel's in the bunch and people often use their family names. I have run into several Samuel's and my cousin thinks one may have been a brother to John.
I'll gather up the Samuels and see what you think.
Hope this was helpful.

I have a 4th cousin with whom I've been corresponding and she gave me this material. Because she still lives near Beaver Pa, she has access to a lot of things and has sent me copies. Her ggrandfather and my grandfather were half-brothers.
If you find out that we are related, I would be happy to share with you.

Hi Guys-
My name is Mike Pennington and I am trying to locate the source of some
jewelry that has been passed down from my ancestors. Family records
claim that they were once owned by Mary Queen of the Scotts. This may or
may not be true however experts have dated them to that time period. Yes
my name is Pennington, however all of my early immigrant ancestors were
Quakers, Puritans, Huguenots, and Seventh Day Baptists that came here in
the early 1600's- including the Penningtons. This jewelry definitely can
be traced from my Burdick line. I have copies of letters from the
mid-1800's from the Burdicks mentioning them and other pieces that we
can no longer locate. I am a SAR member through my Shriver linage. I am
willing to share genealogical data however most of my lines are well
researched and documented.
I am a direct descendent of Jeremiah Clarke and Frances Latham.
Jeremiah Clarke (1605)
Sarah Clarke (abt 1651) and Robert Thompson (abt 1650)
Mary Thompson (1709/10) and David Burdick (1709/10)
John Clarke Burdick (1747/48) and Amy Sisson (1745)
David Burdick (1773) and Sarah Wicks (1777)
Sarah Burdick (1824) and Randall James Kenyon (1828)
Helen Elizabeth Kenyon (1852) and William Augustus Yingling (1851)
Joshua Max Yingling (1880) and Delphia Irvin Lewis (1884)
Maxine Yingling (1913) and Ennis Russell Pennington (1906) my grandfather.
Here is my question-
There is a mention that Jeremiah Clarke had some Royal roots. How can I
find more information on this? Could there be some tie where these
jewelry items could have come from? I did find this source-
John Osbern Austin, THE GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF RHODE ISLAND;
Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1982; pp 44.
His royal line can be found in WEIS' "Ancestral Lines..."; 6thedition;
#41 of Line 11.
His line of descent from CHARLEMAGNE can be found in the CLARKEgenealogy.
Do any of you have any information to share that might help me?
Thank you so much-
Mike Pennington
