  1. Hi Randy, thanks for your great blog, I'm a Clark cousin. Have researched the family in the past but have a reason to be back at it, and I didn't know about the NEHGR article, so your blog gave me a good piece of info. Great Blog, keep up the good work...San Diego, one of the earth's great places!
