Margaret, Thanks for the info. I'd never heard the part about Henry's father being William or mother being Hannah Clark.I was checking on Hannah Clark and found that there are over a thousand in Ancestry.com index. I had also seen at one point that James' wife was Hannah Giles or something like that.I'd wondered if she was a widow or something, but never have seen the reference again.
I was also researching a General Elijah Clark whose wife's name was Hannah and he apparently commanded a group of Maryland soldiers during the Revolutionary War.He was however from Georgia and from what I find there is no mention of a daughter Hannah.Just seemed a possibility since my ancestor's name was Elijah.
In another line family researchers had indicated my ancestor was Sarah Stewart, but after researching I found out she was Sarah Reynolds and I believe it was her mother who was Sarah Stewart.So there are times when family histories are confused for one reason or another.
Again Thanks for the detail.Karen
