Emma,
You give me encouragement, too.  I, too, have a CLARK line.  My husband is a
Clark.  I have been looking only since 1988.   Maybe our Clarks are
connected.

The earliest I can find his Clark line is the 1870 census in Pickens Co. GA.
James Clark is listed as 62 b SC, Tasey (or Lasey??) 54 b SC, James P 18 b
SC Green 16 b GA, Lemuel 14 b GA.   James and family are listed next after
the father-in-law of George W. Clark.   I have not located James anywhere
else unless a James Clark on a CSA list in the book, "History of Pickens
County" is him.     In 1900, Tacey is listed as 84, widow, mother of George
W. Clark, in neighboring Bartow Co, GA.    George W was the father of Levi
Wilford, who was my husband's grandfather.

As you can tell from the census, based on the ages and birthplaces of the
children, James' family should have been in GA in 1860 and SC in 1850.

I sure would appreciated some help on these Clarks.
Thanks,
Melba in AL
