Thanks for your message. I'm still pretty stumped on my Clarks. I just know for sure positive about Sarah Jane Clark who married Samuel Sumner, both born in NC. I don't know their NC county/counties, unfortunately. They lived in KY in the 1820 census but not quite sure of the county - I think it's Floyd Co., KY, but others in the family think Knox Co., KY. Not certain of the Irish connection, but it could be Northern Ireland.
