There's a Sons of the American Revolution application available on
Ancestry.com which lists Hannah Norris as the wife of Thomas Clark b 1678
son of Richard Clarke b 1635-8. It doesn't give her dates but has them
getting married 1711. OTOH, I believe the reference it has for Thomas (and
other early generations) is the same book You mentioned earlier: The
Johnsons and their kin...

Ok, I'm in the right place. I've been working with a friend who is
descended from Ryderous Clark--we keep tripping over each other's lines.
What do you all know about Thomas Clark who married Hannah Norris? I
confess I'm a bit confused by the Richard Clark-Hannah Norris marriage. Was
there more than one Hannah Norris? I believe Thomas Clark was a sea
captain.

Fay,
We missed communicated. My DNA fell into the Rowan Group in the FTMDNA Clark Project. There is an actual group of about 7 or 8 of us who tied in the Rowan Group. Many are named after trees we are in a group named Rowan. I wondered where the name Rowan came from I might just have a better idea now.

Hi Dennis,
Were your Clarks in Rowan before or after Guilford & Randolph were
created? Samuel & his sons are the earliest Clark settlers in the part of
Rowan that eventually became Randolph Co (Deep River), and obviously we're
not a dna match or we would know it. Which group are you in? Mine is
Redwood.

Greetings,
It has been a while since I have been on this message board. My name is Dennis Clark and my 4th Great Grandfather was Elias Clark (1753-1845) and he shows up in Orange County, New York and New Jersey census' in his early days. Elias had four sons named Josiah (Elias Jr.?), James, Peter (b. 1791), and Samuel (b. 1785). Samuel was an Officer in the War of 1812. The 1850 Census show Peter and Samuel as being born in N.J. I am a descendant of Peter who migrated through New York, into Ohio, and finally into Ionia County, Michigan. I submitted a 67 Marker DNA Test to the FTDNA Marker Clark DNA Study. If I recall correctly my DNA tied to 2 or 3 Clark Clans/families in New Jersey. The last DNA match that I sent was to a Clark family that left New Jersey around 1809 and eventually settled in Georgia. My DNA fell into the Rowan Group in the study. www.htmlsd.com

Sure would love it if one or more of you who trace back to these NJ lines
would submit DNA for testing through the Clark(e) Surname Project at
FTDNA.com. We've been fighting a losing battle because of a book that was
published, oh, at least 50 years ago called, "Johnsons and Their Kin," in
which the author asserted that Samuel Clark of Deep River in Randolph Co NC
was a son of Thomas Clark and Hannah Norris of Burlington, Elizabeth, NJ.
As Samuel's marriage to Elizabeth Bennett in Elizabeth NJ occurred after
the birth of his older sons in York Co PA during the 1740's, we believe
this attribution to NJ Clarks to be incorrect or, at the very least,
unproven. DNA testing would go a long way toward laying this controversy
to rest. We already have a descendant of Samuel's in the Surname Project.
As the saying goes, the more the merrier. With multiple donors there is
the potential to unlock some of the secrets of who is related to whom and
how closely.

Darby Clark
Any descendants of Samuel Clark and Mary Darby are invited to attend a
Clark Family Reunion Starting at noon on Sunday Sept. 23, 2012, at the home

Samuel Clark married Mary Darby in NJ in 1791. They had at least 8
children. Mary's death date and location is not currently known, but their
last daughter was born in Sept 1805. Samuel was in Scioto County Ohio in
1806, serving as a witness on a deed. Samuel died in 1854 in Clinton
county, MO
Their son Cornelius Clark was born in 1793, probably in NJ. Cornelius
married Elizabeth Lambert about 1818 and they settled in Lawrence County,
OH,
first in Elizabeth Twp., and then in 1825 in Aid Twp. Samuel and Elizabeth
were the parents of 11, with Levi, the youngest son, being born in 1838.
Cornelius died in Aid Twp about 1860, while Elizabeth didn't die until
1879. Two or three of Levi's older brothers served in the Civil War, while
Levi stayed home to take care of his mother and unmarried sisters.
Levi Clark married Emily Jane Rose in 1862 in Lawrence county, OH. They
had 13 children. Several of the sons moved to the Circleville/Washington
Court House, OH area and there is a large group of cousins living in that
general are today.
The reunion has been mostly descendants of Levi and Jane, but we would
welcome any descendants of Samuel and Mary.
