I have only recently started to search my Amelia connections but I have a great-great-great grandfather, John W. Clarke who lived in Amelia (around the Jetersville Township)(sorry have no birth or death dates yet).He married Sarah Elizabeth Holt on Feb. 18, 1851 in Amelia.I have only started to trace my history on this side of the family so I haven't gotten very far on the Clark(e) side.I do know that the final "e" was not always used.John died after 1866 but before the 1870 census as Sarah is listed as a widow. She died the following year in 1871 of consumption. There were 6 children: Emmet (b. @1852), James (b. @1857),Mary (b. @1859), Susan Jane (b. August 27, 1860; d. September 10, 1929),Sarah (b. @1863)and, Willeame (b. @1866) or Wilamina.Do you think there is a relationship?
