Hi Laraine,
I wonder if you had accumulated any more information during the intervening years since
this message. My gggggrandfather, Thomas Clark, married Nancy Fitzpatrick in 1788 in
Rowan Co., NC. They then lived in Kentucky for several years before moving with their 7
children, including 2 sons, James and Andrew, along with other family members to Morgan
Co., Indiana in the 1820's or earlier, and Thomas died there in 1833. We have been
told that Thomas's father was also named Andrew, although we have not been able to
confirm that. I certainly agree with your comment about the frequency of the Clark name
making research especially difficult, but the fact of your having the Thomas Andrew part
and our having those two names seems of possible significance. I thought there might be a
chance that there was a connection between your Clarks and ours, and wondered if your
might like to exchange information.
