Emma,  I am also looking for a John Clark.  Not sure if we have communicated 
before but let me share a little to see if you, or anyone else, has a match. 
Our CLARK line was supposed to have been in VA and then moved into the 
"Carolinas" before settling in GA. Family tradition says they were herding 
cattle along the NC/SC line.  The first thing we know for sure is that they 
were in Burke Co. GA in abt. 1802.  John was born in 1768 and had probably 
been married before he married Emilia SIKES we think in Burke Co.  Their 
first child was a girl named Nancy born in 1803.  John had the following 
siblings -- Eli, Henry, Hester, and Mary.  We have heard there were more and 
the names James and Samuel have been mentioned.  One of the boys was supposed 
to have moved on into Mississippi.  One book says their parents were F. M. 
Clark and Elizabeth Monroe.  This has never been proved and I have not found 
a couple by these names that match.  The F.M. may stand fro Francis Marion or 
the F. may be for Flournoy.  Both of these names were used for children in 
the families.  John named his first son, by his marriage to Emelia, Calphrey. 
 John ended up in LAurens Co., GA and raised his children there.  We have the 
families of the siblings (except Mary) pretty well documented.  They all 
lived in South GA.  Let me know if I should send more details.  Sandy
