JOHN Clark (c1705-c1768) most likely was born in either Surry or Nansemond Co., VA. His parents moved to NC when he was a teenager. After marriage, John lived for a short period in Edgecombe Co. but began acquiring land patents in Anson Co., NC beginning about 1746. He probably moved his family from Edgecombe Co. to property in Anson Co. along the Great Pee Dee River before 1750. In 1751, he and wife Mary moved west to the Broad River in what was then Anson Co. but would later become part of Cherokee and Union Cos., SC. In 1753 John and Mary again moved to a grant along the Pacolet River near where it joins the Broad River.
