There's a wonderful book about this whole family, From Sea to Shining Sea, by James Alexander Thom. It's historical fiction, but very heavy on the history.

Hi Wesley, Ann Rogers Clark is almost my great grandmother. I descend from Frances Eleanor, Ann’s youngest. It’s nice to meet more cousins!

According to my research and family documents, I am a direct descendant of Captain Johnathan Clark. I've lived most of my life not knowing the Clark family history. Now I am overjoyed with this new found knowledge. I will continue my research and hope to travel to these historic sites. I reside right now in southern Oklahoma.

Thank you so much. I plan to do some DNA testing as well. This is very exciting and surreal.

I am a descendant of John Clarke, Jr., born 27 Feb 1764 in Henrico Co., VA, died 25 Jan 1839 in Washington Co., KY. He fought in the Am. Revolution and is a proven Patriot with the Daughters of the American Revolution. I have a book excerpt that says he is the "son of Captain John Clark/Clarke of the Virginia line". I would love to know for sure if he is the son of John Clark described on this page. If anyone has solid evidence of this, please contact me at momcatx6@aol.com. Thank you!

Okay, I just looked at the birth date for Jonathan Clark and it's obvious he could not be the father of my John Clarke, Jr. How disappointing!

Hi Michelle. John Clark (1729-1799) did have a son named John Clark. Son John died in 1783 not long after he was released from a British prison ship. He’s not yet a proven DAR Patriot as he never married and had no children that I am aware of.

Johnathan Clark was my 5th great grandfather, making William Clark my 5th Great uncle. I discovered this several years ago as my great grandmother was Louisa Clark who is buried in the Colfax, Washington cemetery in 1940. I have a lot of information on my Clark lineage.

Afraid not. I'm pretty confident that General Clark never lived in NC.
