The Clarks - Elk Garden, Mineral County, WV

This has been an intersting week of searching through the Clark Family.

It did help me find a great aunt of Mae Florence Dawson Clark. I can trace all of her sons but none of her daughters as of yet. With the great help of two guys over on Find A Grave - the missing pieces are starting to fall into place. Only problem is, John transferred all (17) of the Clarks he found at R D Dean Memorial IOOF Cemetery in Elk Garden, Mineral County, WV and I have to sort through my Clarks and connect the remainder of the people.

But, now I have found Robert, Lettie, Minnie and Mae Dawson. This leaves me Charlotte - who first married Levi Moore, had two children - Wilbert and Delphia, then married Charles Griffith. And, I still need to find the parents - Abraham Dawson and Hannah Jane Helmick Dawson.

.....again, to be continued.
