New to the Clarke list, am seeking info on Irving Richardson Clark of MA (1874 - 1953, Millis, formerly East Medway, MA) and wife Nellie Wamboldt of Nova Scotia. Especially interested in more on Nellie and George, who was adopted by Nellie and Irving, and took the name Clark.
Also, the Clark and Richardson families of that area seem to have intermarried on numerous occasions over the years. Rebecca Clark married John Richardson in 1679, which may have been the earliest the two families married in the States.
John and Rebecca are my 8th great grandparents.
Are there other descendants of these families on this list?

I am searching for Henry Clark, born after June 1814 in CT, I assumed this
information by looking at Texas censuses. I do not know what town or County he
was born in. I have been searching for several years and he is one of my "brick
walls".
I know you may not be able to look him up for me, but if you come across him
in your searches, please let me know.
Thank you,
Johnine

For those of you who may not be aware of it, there is a book HERO OF
HORNET'S NEST, A Biorgraphy of Elijah Clark, 1733 to 1799. by Louise Frederick
Hays, and printed in 1946.
It contains a picture of Elijah Clarke.
I am still looking for info on his son-in-law, Benajah Smith.

Sorry, folks. There is a total of 13 mismatches between Elijah's descendant
and Thomas Clark's descendants out of 37 markers tested. There is no
possibility of a connection within recorded history.
Fay Clark
A fellow Clark researcher just e-mailed me a portrait image of Elijah Clarke
of Georgia with the following caption:
"Among the few heroes of the Revolutionary War from Georgia, Elijah Clarke
(sometimes spelled Clark) was born in 1742, the son of John Clarke of Anson
County, North Carolina. He married Hannah Harrington around 1763. As an
impoverished, illiterate frontiersman, he appeared in the ceded lands, on
what was then the northwestern frontier of Georgia, in 1773."
The interesting thing about Elijah Clarke is that he has the same
distinctive chin that characterizes some of the males in our Clark
line--descendants of Thomas Clark of Pulaski Co KY b. 1755. Is any
descendant of Elijah Clarke participating in the Clark dna project?

As far as I have been able to determine the male lines in both
