Clark family in VA and Pocahontas
I am trying to complete or firm up a family line going back to Pocahontas and it runs through the Clark family. Unfortunately, though I know the connection is there, there is a "soft area due to conflicting information that I keep running into. It is part of the Clark generations where the "fuzziness" lies.
Here is the line as I currently have it:
"Rebecca" Matoaka Pocahontas Powhattan (1595-1617)married Col. John Rolfe (1585-1622). Their son Capt. Thomas Rolfe (1615-1675) married Jane Poythress (est 1615-1711). Their daughter Jane Rolfe (1650-1676) married (2nd) Robert Bolling. Their son Maj. John Bolling (1676-1759) married Mary Kennon (abt 1676-1727). Their daughter Penelope Bolling married Christopher Clark (1698-1709). Their son John Clark (1725-1801) married Ruth Baxter (1733-1809). Their son John Clark (1753-1837) married Relief Barnum (1753-1830). Their son Barnum Clark (1774-1838) married Lucy Whipple (1777-1854). Their son Aaron Barnum Clark (1799-1854) married Mary Ann Randolph (1802-1878). Their daughter Lydia Alice Barnum Clark (b. 1884) married Martin Ira Whitman ((1843-1913). their daughter Katherine Agnes Whitman (1875-1956) married Lucius Cary Slayton (1872-1941). Their son Eric Randolph Slayton (1901-1983) married Minnie Bell Brockett (1901-1990). Their daughter Margaret Brockett Slayton, my mother, married Robert Ingersoll Fleming, my father.
This seems very neat and streight forward, but, there have been some contradictions at the generations of Penelope Bolling and the first John Bolling, her son.
I am sure of the line going back from current generations to John Clark who married Relief Barnum.
Likewise, the line from Pocahontas forward to John Bolling and Mary Kennon is sure. It is the exact Clark hook up that I know is there, but that I need confirmation or correction on. Anyone that has good evidence to support or correct the line as I have stated it, please chime in.
Thank you very much, Mike Fleming.
