Sir Michael Benjamin Clare
Re yesterdays message re Elizabeth Clare, Foleshill, Conventry, the children of John Clare and Sarah Moffat, Johns birth should have read 1752!!
I too am trying to solve mystery of Sir Michael Benjamin Clare's lineage. Our family understood that my Grandmother Elizabeth Clare was Sir MBC's grand-daughter, although this was obviously not the case going by the geneology we have uncovered.
Questions that puzzle me:
What happened to sons of John Clare and wife Elizabeth married 1720 Philadelphia?Sons John born 1727, Benjamin born 1732 and Henry born 1737.
When and where was Eliza, neice of Sir MBC and daughter of John Clare born and who did she marry?
Was Eliza an only child being named as the main beneficiary of Sir MBC's will?
There seem to be many branches of the Clare family.Which one is connected to Sir MBC is a mystery.Does anyone have information on when and where Sir Michael Benjamin Clare was born and any other siblings apart from his brother John, father of Eliza (Elizabeth?).
What was the connection between the Clares of Philadelphia and the Clares of the UK.
So many questions unanswered, any help would be appreciated.
