  • Notes 
    • Dear Friend,

      Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately my Clark's are not blood related to Ebenezer Ward or Margaret Clark. However, I do concur that Ebenezer and Margaret were the parents of Phoebe Clark Ward, who with her husband William Weeks had daughter Mary Jane Clark Weeks.

      My blood line is with Charles Newton Clark, husband of Mary Jane Clark Weeks. Charles Newton Clark was a 1st cousin 3 X removed to me. I have over the years looked for any other connective tissue with your Margaret Clark, but have found none. And now with DNA testing improving so radically we still have no match between these two Clark lines.

      The progenitor of my Clark line in America was James Clark, who sailed from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1638 on the Hector.

      Do you have another lady (a sister or cousin perhaps?) that you are doing genealogy with, because your line of questioning sounds very familiar to me.

      Sorry that I can't be of greater assistance to your quest.

      Until next time....

      Take Care,
      Richard Clark
      9th Great Grandson
      of James Clark
