Hi all
I am new to the list and have a photo that belonged to my mum. It's a photo of a small boy - 2 yrs old. On the reverse of the phot says the words - Dennis Clarke 2 yrs (Oct 1946) Adelaide. Since my mum was from Melb it's a possibility he lived in Melb and was Could be he was on holiday in Adelaide when the photo was taken. Unfortunately I have no further information but would like to find a family to attach this photo to.
cheers Jen

Malachy Clarke was born before 1757 in Co. Galway, Ireland. He married
Bridget GAVIN about 1772. They had five children: John, Andrew, Bridget
Sabina, Jeremiah. All born in Ireland. Jeremiah died in Lebanan, KY.
John Clarke (son of Malachy & Bridget) married Mary MANION about 1821 in Co.
Galway, Ireland. They had nine children: Mary, Patrick, Bridget, Julia,
Sabina, Malachy, William, John & Catherine.
Patrick (son of John & Mary) married Catherine WADE. They were both born in
Co. Galway, Ireland but met and married in the USA. They married in
Wheeling, W VA. Both died in Muncie, Indiana. They had nine children:
Catherine Veronica 1870, Julia Marie 1871, John Hugh 1872, William Patrick
1874, Michael J. 1876, Thomas J. 1878, Cornelius Raymond 1880, Henry 1881,
and Luke 1887. It seems only William and Cornelius had children.
William Patrick Clarke - son of Patrick & Catherine - b. 1874 in W VA,
married Mary Bridget EMMRICK. Both died in Toldeo, Ohio. William (in
collaboration with John Hugh) published the History of the Clarke Family
about 1946.
Most of what I am sharing is from the book. I would love to be able to fill
in some blanks and update the tree. Sorry, but I don't see me publishing
books, LOL!
This is my direct line. I appear 3 generations further down. I will send
more descendant lines from Malachy in seperate posts.

Folks,
I'm back at the Thomas Clark and Stewart/d Clark issue in Pulaski County KY.
The 1850 census shows Thomas Clark age 65 b. KY w/ wife Juantia
(Juanita?--20 years younger) with Steward Clark age 37 b. KY w/wife Mary
living next door. It appears to me that Steward was the s/o of Thomas.
Working backward, the 1840 census shows two Thomas Clarks--Thomas Clark age
50-59 living next door to Steward Clark age 20-29; and Thomas Clark age
20-29 on the same page with Josiah Clark age 30-39 and also several
Stogsdill families. I have a marriage record for a Thomas Clark b. 1800 who
married Sally Stodgil 02 Oct 1816 in Wayne Co KY. This would appear to be
the 2nd Thomas Clark enumerated on the Pulaski Co 1840 census.
The 1830 census shows Thomas Clark age 40-49 on same page with Josiah Clark.
Thomas Clark has a male in household age 15-19 that could be Steward Clark.
The 1820 census shows Thomas Clark age 45+
The 1810 census records no Thomas Clark
By my calculations:
Thomas Clark 1850 census b. ca. 1785
Thomas Clark 1840 cenus b. 1781-1790
Thomas Clark 1830 census b. 1781-1790
Thomas Clark 1820 census b. bef. 1775
I believe all these Thomas Clarks are the same man, including the one whose
age is given as 45+. It also appears to me that he was the father of
Steward Clark b. 1813.
Question: Is this the Thomas Clark who some say is Thomas Steward/t Clark?
I note that the 1850 census states he was born in Kentucky, not Virginia,
which seems to me to place him squarely as a member of Thomas Clark SR's
family, likely a nephew of his son Stewart Clark b. 1778 NC d. aft. 1850
Madison Co AR.
The Thomas Clark b. 1811 married to Pernetta appears possibly to be a son of
Josiah Clark. The 1860 census states he was born in NC, however I note he
has a son Josiah and a daughter Catherine, which may hint at a connection
with Catherine Clark of Garrard County and thus Thomas Clark SR of Pulaski.
Thomas & Steward Clark (above) appear to be missing from the 1860 census.
What I'm seeing here conflicts with what I've been told about a later
Stewart Clark coming to Pulaski county. I need to see whatever other
documentation exists regarding Thomas Stewart and/or Stewart Clark.
I've been working on the theory that the Thomas Clark above was 1) the
father of Steward Clark b. 1811; 2) a grandson of Thomas Clark SR; and 3)
possibly the oldest son of my Samuel Clark. I think I've eliminated the
third hypothesis, as Samuel would only have been 10 years old when this
Thomas was born in 1785. As the oldest son, he is the only one who could
have fathered Thomas. This in turn would eliminate the possibility that
Thomas SR was the grandfather of this Thomas.
Thomas Clark was the recipient of a number of land grants on Buck Creek.

Land":
Gibson Clark married Mary Mason ,Sept 15, 1800; Edward Clark married
Charlotte Booth, Aug 15, 1801, from Pickering County records.
Now, from 1799 until 1802 the the present Claiborne and Jefferson
Counties were known as Pickering Co.
Land grants, marriage records, tax lists and the oldest land maps of
Claiborne Co. indicate that some of the people who owned land in the
District West of Pearl at an early date were: Edward, Gibson, John,
Thomas, Elijah, Elijah L., Lewis Clark (both Clark and Clarke used).
In 1816 when MS was still a territory there were about 295 families
living in Claiborne Co. Some Heads of Families were: Elijah L. Clark,
Thomas Clark, Gibson Clark, Jr., Elijah Clark, Lewis Clarke, J.G. Clarke,
Gibson Clarke.
In 1785 Georgia created Bowden Co., which included what is now Claiborne
Co., MS.
In 1802 Port Gibson was chosen as co. seat of Claiborne Co.

Hello Joy, and others: (Did you already receive this msg? It keeps coming up in my draft/outbox). Sorry if dupes.
Welcome. Sorry I do not have a Charlotte Clark , off hand, that I know of; however, I do have Clarks who were in Scotland, and Ontario, Canada before going to MA and RI area USA. I would be interested in knowing the names of Charlotte's spouse and children and their locations if known. My Great big brick wall is at my Great-grandfather's level: Alexander Clark, b:ca 1844 Scotland; emigrated at some time prior to 1871 to Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada. I have NO information on his Parents, ancestors, Siblings and very little on his descendants. Thus, I check out anyone who was in Ontario particularly...and their movements.
My Alexander CLARK, I assume, married Mary BOYD about 1871. No marriage record found. They had a daughter, Mary CLARK, b: 10 Oct 1872 in Grantham, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. (I believe the BOYDs...John BOYD & Mary GUTHRIE emigrated from Paisley, Renfrew, Scot between January 1868 and June 1870, (IAW the birth places of several children. ) Mary Boyd was the eldest of the children. Also, Mary Boyd b: 28 Oct 1850, Middle Paisley, Renfrew, Scot.and Alexander Clark, b:ca 1844, Scot, had a son, William Alexander CLARK, b: Feb 1877, in Merritton, Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada. NO Birth record . However, I have my Grandfather's Naturalization Papers which name his Parents as Alexander Clark and Mary Boyd.
Alexander Clark and Mary Boyd emigrated from Ontario, Canada , about 1879 and appear on the 1880 MASS Census in Attleborough, Bristol Co. MA. with 3 children in household. Mary, 7 yr; Wm,4 yr, (Grandfather) and one listed as Other...John CLARK,1 yr. born in Canada of Scots Parentage. (Still do not know who he is or how related.) (On my Grandfather's Naturalization Papers, it indicates that he emigrated from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada to NY via New York Central Railway on 1 April 1879. (Assume with his Parents and/or the Boyds. )
John BOYD & Mary GUTHRIE appeared on the 1880 RI Census, in Lincoln, Providence Co. RI with four children (Mary NOT one of them.) ( William, b:16 Aug 1853, Abbey, Paisley, Renfrew,Scot.; Archibald b:ca 22 Oct 1855Abbey, Paisley,Renfrew; John b:19 Apr 1860;Abbey (Paisley, Renfrew & Margaret Fairbairn BOYD., b: ca 1866.) 2 or 3 other children were previously deceased. ( including an Alexander ,(perhaps b: ca 28 July 1858 1 male Boyd (perhaps a first James, b:18 DEC 1862, Abbey Paisley, Renfrew; and a 2nd ? James Boyd. born last in Ontario, Canada and died.) Only further information...on Boyds...I have the death certificates of these three Boyd Brothers who are buried in the Mashausuck (sp?)Cemetery in Central Falls, RI. And, it was stated by someone else, that John Boyd, the Father is buried there also and that he died on 3 September 1899 in RI. Apparently some records at this Cemetery were burned in a fire of 1899!! So far, I have no information on the deaths or other!
locations of all the women in this family and nothing more on any other Clark children born in MA or RI. Other names mentioned in my search were two informants from the Boyd Boys Death Certificates: John ADAMS or rel; and Janet WILSON. I have more on my Grandfather's marriage and Son: my Dad etc in MA and CT.
Can you identify or connect with any of these names and provide me with the data on Charlotte Clark? Thank you in advance. Hope this helps all of us.

Recently saw some discussion of Lewis Clark here. I am looking for a connection to Lewis Clark who was living in Jackson Co, AL in 1840. He was on the rolls of Rev War Pensioners in 1840, stating his age as 77. That would make him born about 1763. Sorry for the vagueness, that is all I know.

I'm still looking for my Thomas Clark b. ca. 1755. Does anyone know how or
have the resources to obtain more information about the above referenced
Thomas Clark? Or, if you can lay claim to this particular Thomas Clark,
that would be helpful, too.
To date, there have been no DNA matches to my husband, who is descended from
Thomas Clark SR b. ca. 1755 who appears in Pulaski County, KY, between
1799-1810. He appears on the Lincoln County, KY tax lists for 1797-1798,
and on the Madison County KY tax lists 1794-1796. The the Madison County KY
tax lists are almost impossible to read prior to 1794, so he may actually be
there before that. His oldest son Samuel was born in Virginia in 1775; a
son Stewart was born in North Carolina in 1778.
There also appears to be a connection with John and Elinor Clark of Orange
County NC > Randolph Co NC > Madison Co KY. Elinor Clark, a daughter of
James and Elizabeth Clark of Orange Co NC, appears on the Pulaski Co KY tax
lists for 1805-1805. Since Thomas also came from Madison County, it is my
belief they were related. John & Elinor Clark sold property in Randolphy Co
NC in January 1786. They were in Madison County KY by 1787. John was dead
by 1797; Elinor was in the newly formed Garrard County in 1802. Except for
my Samuel Clark, the entire Clark clan had moved south into Tennessee by
1812. Thomas Clark JR, an ordained minister b. 1776-79, died in Dade Co GA
in 1848. Sons Stewart, William and James eventually died in Madison County,
AR.
As one more aside, son William was in Ripley, Bond County, IL in 1820.
Another family that settled near my Samuel Clark in Wayne Co KY was James
Clark b. bef. 1765. He married Leannah Ross in Lincoln Co KY in 1792.
After James' death in 1829, their children Robert, John and Nancy Clark
Harmon also migrated to Bond County IL. I have never been able to discover
the connection between James and Thomas Clark SR, but am persuaded that
there is one somewhere.

Dear Joe,
Good to hear from you again.

Yes, indeed. She is Rebecca BURNEY, daughter of Abigail LAND and William
BURNEY, born March 11, 1780 in New York and baptized at Trinity Church. Her
sponsors were her parents and Phoebe LAND, her grandmother.
> Have you been able to verify either name either through death or grave

In the book, "Loyalist Ancestors - Some families of the Hamilton Area" by
the Hamilton Branch United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada,
published 1980 by Pro Familia Genealogical Services, Toronto, Ont., I have
the following information on the children of Robert LAND (1736-1818) who in
Virginia 1756 married Phoebe SCOTT(1733-1836):
Abigail (1757-1826) marr. 1) William BIRNEY 2) Isaiah McCARTER

The marriage record is correct. They did not list anything other than the
names of the people who were married.
We can confirm that they were from Rhode Island based on a legal document
transferring power of attorney from Jabez, Agibail CLARK COREY, Gardiner,
Benjamin and Isaac to Elisha CLARK of HAMPSTEAD, NB so he could sell and
dispose of his father's property in Newport Landing, Nova Scotia.
> Do any of their kids records list their parents and where they were born
> and possibly the ages of the parents at the time of the kids births?
>
No birth or baptism records exist for this CLARK family, as they were
staunch Baptists who were objecting to the law that only Catholics and
Anglicans could perform religious ceremonies. They only married in the
Anglican Church for legal reasons.
Hence, no baptisms or burials for this line of CLARKs in NB. The family
buried their relatives in graves on the family farms and marked the spots
with wooden crosses which have long since disappeared.
> Let me know what you think..
So, these CLARKs were also LOYALISTS. The new data I uncovered this Fall
goes as follows:
Elisha CLARK (b. 1738 RI) marr. Desire GARDINER in RI April 10, 1763 (
NEHGS Vital Stats)
Their Children are:
Gardiner marr. Ruth SLOCUM dau. Ebenezer SLOCUM UE on Jan 20, 1789 in
Waterborough Parish, Queens Co, NB. ( records of Anglican Church Gagetown)
Gardiner and Ruth return to RI abt 1792 and appear on 1800 census for
Kingstown, RI. with three children.
Abigail marr. Gideon COREY UE poss. in NY before arriving in Canada. They
settled in Gagetown area and about 1795 moved to New Canaan where they
raised a large family. Abigail is purported to have more descendants as
ministers, doctors, lawyers and politicians than any other woman in NB.
Benjamin does not appear to have married. He is buried in Central Hampstead
cemetery ( I have photo of his grave) and is listed as a native of Rhode
Island. He was very active in the Baptist Church acting as scribe and later
as an elder.
Elisha marr. Catherine SlIPP UE daughter of Leonard SLIP. They remained in
Hampstead. He is listed int he Queens' Co. Museum in Gagetown as a Loyalist
and the copy of the will in his file states "Elisha CLARKE - U.E.,
Hampstead." When Elisha applied for a land grant in 1814, he stated that he
had a wife, several children and an aged mother living with him. When his
will was probated, there was no mention of his mother
Isaac never married but stayed in New Brunswick.
Jabez marr. Rebecca BURNEY UE (grandaughter of Robert LAND UE). Rebecca's
mother, Abigail LAND BIRNEY stayed in the Gagetown area for a while and
married Isaiah McCarter, a friend of her brother. By 1824 Jabez and Rebecca
have 11 children and move to Hamilton, Ontario.
So, from this info, all of my 3rd GGf's siblings who married chose the
children of UE or actual UE's, supporting my case that Jabez was also a
LOYALIST.
I have more inof on the land that Elisha, father of Jabez, was granted in
Nova Scotia in 1761, which proves that although he was granted land, he
never lived there until 1783. He must have returned to RI shortly
thereafter, as he died about 1784 and his will was probated in RI in 1785.
More on that later.
Good night for now,
Anne

Hello,
Does anyone have any information on virginia/kentucky Clarks that are
now in New Mexico? My grandfathers family is decended from John Clark
who came to Virginia on the Bon Aventure in 1635, and his family
eventually ended up in New Mexico a few generations back. I know I have
family still there, but as my grandfather is long deceased I can't get
any information on them.
BTW
I logged into my gmail account today and noticed I had 50 invites, if
any fellow Clark(e)'s want an invite let me know.

Hi Anne...
Have you discarded the idea that Rebecca LAND was the name of the wife of
Jabez CLARK(E) in favor of the name Rebecca BURNEY?
Have you been able to verify either name either through death or grave
records?
Could he have been married to both?
I have the birth date of Rebecca LAND as 1760 which would make her 9
years older that Jabez, which would be unusual. And the dates of the
birth of the children would probably not be hers..
The birth date of Rebecca BURNEY being Mar 9, 1781 would make her 12
years younger than Jabez since I have his birth date as 19 Mar 1769,
which would seem more possible.
I do have a marriage record of Church Records, St John Anglican Church of
Gagetown, Queens Co., NB, CAN, for 21 Jan 1800 for Rebecca BURNEY and a
Jabez CLARKE. Most likely the couple who had the listed children. I
don't know if that document listed the ages at their marriage but if it
did, then we could say for sure if he were the Rhode Island Jabez.
Do any of their kids records list their parents and where they were born
and possibly the ages of the parents at the time of the kids births?
Let me know what you think..
Joe

Hi fellow CLARK/CLARKE family researchers,
I am trying to find living descendants of Elisha CLARK born Apr. 9, 1802,
Hampstead, New Brunswick, Canada and died Nov. 29, 1867 in Kewanee,
Illinois. He was married on Jan 26, 1826 in Glanford, Ontario to Elizabeth
THOMAS who was born in Canada ( poss NB) on Nov 29, 1807 and died in
Kewanee, Ill. on Jan 3, 1860. Elisha and Elizabeth moved to Kewanee, Ill.
in 1855.
This Elisha CLARK is the eldest son of my 3rd great grandfather Jabez CLARK
(b. 1769 North Kingstown Rhode Island died 1845 Glanford, Ont) and Rebecca
BURNEY (b. Mar 9, 1781, New York, baptized Trinity Church NYC). A
descendant, Don L. CLARK and his wife Venice PETERSON wrote a detailed
family history, a copy of which was given to the Glanford Historical
Society. I would like to get in touch with Don and Venice or any of their
siblings to obtain more information on the family.
Elisha CLARK and Elizabeth THOMAS' children were all born in Glanford and
include:
Daniel b. 1826
Rebecca b. 1828
William b. 1828
John b. 1831
Edwin b. 18344
Nancy A. b. 1836
Walter b. 1838
Asa b. 1840
Rachael b. 1843
Mary b. 1846
Ezra B. b 1848
Emery b. 1850
One son, Ezra B. CLARK B. 1848, married Ella FERRIS in 1875. This family
then moved to Platte Co., Nebraska by 1880. They were in McCune Kansas by
1884 and later on moved to Carl Junction, Missouri and Mt. Ayre, Iowa. In
1902, they went back to Kansas by covered wagon and settled on a farm near
Erie. Their children were:
Ada b. 1877 d. 1881
Elmer G. b. 1879 Neb.
Fred L. b. 1884 Kansas
Maude R. b. 1887 Kansas
Clifford R. b. 1894 Iowa
Don L. CLARK is the son of Fred L. CLARK and his wife Elizabeth Mariah
PIATT. Don is the person I am seeking or any of his siblings who are Ava,
Katherine, Vera, Jack W., Nadine or Lyle.
If Don is no longer living, perhaps one of his children or nieces or nephews
could contact me.
Kindest regards,
Anne Clark-Stewart
