Not sure where the spelling of Clarke (with an “e”) comes from. All of the biographical info and most other sources I’ve seen is without the “e”. I would recommend the document “JAMES CLARK of ORANGE and CULPEPER COUNTIES of Virginia and SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS” sourced in Ancestry as “James Clark, Mansfield, Christopher Clark and allied families”
I'm approving the merger of Clark-18540 and Clark-13360. I believe the birthdate of 1716 that I had is correct because of an International Marriage Record and a SAR application.
