Hi Mary,
I found your name as researching the CLARK family in Walton
County,Florida. My Grandmother was Margaret Lee CLARK. She was born Feb
14,1896 in DeFuniak Springs and she died Aug 5, 1963 in DeFuniak. Her father
was Matthew CLARK born about 1843 I belive in Dale County,Ala , although I do
not know for sure. What I do know is that he was raised by a man named Eli
WrRIGHT who also has ties to Dale County, Alalbama. Matthew had a half
brother, George STANLEY, who was also raised by Eli along with a James W.
SCONIERS. I am looking for info that may lead to the names of Matthew's birth
parents. I have been hitting brick walls at every turn. Matthew married my
Great Grandmother, Eliza NEEL but he was married before her to a woman named
Nancy. I have found her in the household with him through census records.
Matthew & Eliza had 6 children of their own: Margaret (Grandma), Dan CLARK,
Ida CLARK, Willie CLARK, Elizabeth (Lizzie) CLARK, & George CLARK. If any of
these people ring a bell with you I sure would appreciate it if you'd give me
a holler. Thanks! Sandra G Swope
