Leonard Heather. I am the administrator for Shelt Tucker, who passed away some years ago. I did connect his account to yours so you could get any pertinent information for your search. He and you are pretty distantly related. I can offer some information for you. Shelt's great grandparents were: Willis Tucker, Flora Coleman, Elton Ward and Christine Clark. The chart would seem to indicate you may be from the line of one of their siblings. Willis' parents were John Samuel Tucker and Elizabeth Suggs. Flora Coleman's parents were Merrick Coleman and Nancy Donahoo (or Gertrude Watson). I do not have any further information for the ancestors of Elton Ward or Christine Clark. I hope this helps. Betsy

Thank you. It seems it may be from the Clark side. My great great grandmother was destimony Clark who married into the Carter family. I appreciate you telling me all this. Thank you my condolences for your lose.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am glad you have some point of reference on the Clark side. Do you know how Destimony Clark may have been related to Christine Clark? Betsy

I don't think I have encountered a Christine Clark in this family. Do you know in which family she would belong or any family connections?

Clark-78608 and Clark-45147 appear to represent the same person because: I would like to merge this information. I have more information for her son John Francis who was my great grandfather
