I can't unravel your puzzle, but two of names from the notes touch on names that I've found reference to in researching my Clarks. 1. Ruffin--Nimrod Stradley sold land in 1785 and Eth. Ruffin purchased it[This Indenture made the 28th day of July in the year of our Lord One
Thousand seven Hundred and eighty One, Between Nimrod Stradley, of the Edgcombe, in the State of No. Carolina of the One part and Etheldred Ruffin of the County of Dobbs----] . Nimrod's dau Charlotte married a Clark. One of the Clarks on your list made a purchase from John Bunn's estate in 1783; Nimrod married John Bunn's widow. Nimrod Stradley, his dau Charlotte Stradley married Joshua Clark in Ga. Did the Clarks and Stradleys move to Ga. together? Lots of times that would happen.
Do you have a Joshua Clark that is missing? Mine married in Tattnall County Ga in 1805 and died in Montgomery County Ga abt 1815.I have no idea of his dob or if the 1805 marriage was his first marriage.
