At the risk of being reprimanded or ignored I am blundering ahead to post a query to the VA LIST. I invite others to join me. Most of this info below is from wills, marriage registers. Some from other researchers that has not been proved by me. If you use any of the following please do independent research to verify your data. 1. John Clark of "Clark's Mountain" m. Mary Towles c. 1765. He was the son of William Clark and Ann James. 2. John Clark had a brother REUBEN (1743-184) who m. Bathsheba Sampson and a nephew, REUBEN (1766-1820) who m. Martha E. Clark (cousin). He also had a son, REUBEN T. Clark. 3. John and Mary CLARK had 9 known children: William m. Lucretia Clark (cousin) Mary m. Thomas Wells Henry Towles m. Ann Gristy (sp?) and Eliz. Smith Jane m. Fleming Turner Sarah m. ____Beckman James m. Eliz Murphy John b. c. 1770 Abner Lucy Reuben T. Edmund 4. I am trying to prove that Reuben T., child of John and Mary, relocated to Frederick Co., VA where he married Susanna SUDDETH in 1795. 5. Also in Fred. Co. (per 1850 census) there was an Abner CLARK, age 77 (b. c. 1773) who had m. in 1805 Isabella Wear CLARK, age 70 and from marriage registers...John CLARK who m. in 1799, Ruth Booth and in 1796 there was another marriage of John CLARK to Sarah Jacobs. (Two different Johns??) 6. Co-incidence? Out of 5 unaccounted for children of John and Mary Clark, the same names of three sons show up across the mountain in Fred. Co. who are in the same age bracket…at least marrying-wise. Obviously I am desperate. Anyone familiar with the above who would help me out here? Mitzie Madaline H. Preston Madaline H. Preston
