"I knew your father well. He was my own cousin and your mother
was related on my mother’s side. Your mother’s grandmother was my
mother’s aunt. Her name was Deboys. If you could see sister Lovina Cole at
Morganville, I think you could find out more than I could tell you about the
family there, as she is older and has always lived there. I will
give you the names of your grandfather’s brothers: Samuel, Alexander, Stewart,
James, William, John, Thomas, Benjamin. I think Uncle James, William and Stewart
moved to Arkansas in the early 30’s. I never knew anything of them since.
Uncle James had a William but I don't know whether he had a middle F. or not.
That is all the William I remember in the Uncle’s families. A son of Uncle
Samuel came through Lookout Valley on his way West in the 30’s and stopped at
our place, but I don’t remember what his given name was. I was just a boy and
did not think much of it. This man was married and had
a family. I was in Georgia last fall and ate dinner with your brother’s wife’s
sister, Mrs. Tittle. I knew John English Clark in my boyhood days well and had I
known that he had a son there I would have seen him. (This son, G.D. Clark, was
the Judge of the Supreme Court.) If you can tell me where and how you
learned of this William F. Clark, I might recall more of him. I was raised just
across the Caney Forks opposite where you now live, about a mile and a half
below the falls. When I was about 16 we moved to Georgia. Shortly after we moved
there, Uncle Sam’s son came through"---dated November 5, 1899.
(This letter was written by James Clark, son of Rev. Thomas Clark and Elizabeth
Clark. He moved to Marion Co., IA from Dade Co., GA about 1849 along with
siblings John Clark, Thomas Clark, & Agnes Clark Watkins,) * This note
