Welcome to the new, expanded version of
"Connections," home for the growing group of CLARK / MOORMAN and allied
lines researchers. Using only primary and "good" secondary sources, our
group attempts to correct what needs correcting and confirm what can be
confirmed as we move beyond the many times published family tradition.
Although some are still tracing their lines toward Tidewater Virginia,
others have moved on to Barbados, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Each
researcher eventually connects to one of four individuals who lived in
St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia late 1600s and early
1700s: Christopher CLARK (1681-1754) and his wife Penelope JOHNSON
(1684-after 1741); Charles MOORMAN (1683-1756) and his wife Elizabeth
REYNOLDS (1686-1765).
We are very exciited about our DNA research projects for JOHNSON and CLARK lines. Click on the links (at left) to sites maintained by Harold Johnson and Lea Dowd for the latest results. Analytical reports remain the backbone of this page. Be aware
of dates reports were written; theories change with new data and
later reports often reflect this. The only things we
request of members are: (1) be willing to consider other
possibilities than the published tradition; (2) use primary and "good"
secondary sources; and (3) always cite those sources. These
reports are freely shared with the genealogical community; however the
individual authors, contributors and I reserve copyright privileges
lest
anyone attempt to publish the reports, in whole or in part, for profit
or any other purpose. Thanks to the generous allocation of web space offered to Rootsweb Sponsors, I can now expand into other states with additional surnames (see below). With very few exceptions, all surnames below trace back to colonial Virginia, but not necessarily to the Clark/Moorman lines. In my attempt to keep Clark/Moorman research separate from other material, any colonial Virginia records that relate only to the additional names appear below. KENTUCKY AND MISSOURI CONNECTIONS, shown below, has a
different focus. SOUTHERN CONNECTIONS, also shown below, is similar. CEMETERIES, as the name implies, contains tombstone pictures
from various family cemeteries in several states--many shared by other
researchers. However, some tombstone pictures may also be found in the
family photos section. Linda Sparks Starr [Author of: W. R. Rankin: Manassas
to Appomattox, based on
the "probable" Civil War experiences of a SC soldier who served first
in
Hampton's Legion and then in Company L of the Palmetto Sharpshooters.
It includes excerpts from his never before published diary and
two lists he compiled of Company L, Palmetto Sharpshooters during and
after the war. Softbound, 110 pages, $20 ppd.] KENTUCKY AND MISSOURI CONNECTIONSThis section differs in several ways from its parent. Beside the obvious period and state changes, some of the lines presented are not related to the colonial VA CLARKS / MOORMANs until marriages in this century in other states. Having said that, I will add that all the lines rooted in Breckinridge County are extended and/or allied in some way with the VA CLARKs and MOORMANs. These reports are less polished than those found in Colonial VA Connections; these were written for my own use, and sometimes are little more than a collection of notes from various sources. Views change with time and additional information. Although I've tried to edit out the non-relevant and especially erroneous portions, please remember most of these were written seven to twelve years ago.SOUTHERN CONNECTIONSThis includes families who lived in Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Texas. However, most, though not all, are traced back to colonial Virgiinia. Those researching Georgia families in early Wilkes, and counties near Fayette, Henry and Spalding are well advised to go to the Inman, GA Church web page (see link at left) where they will find several ariticles on families living in these areas. Starr and allied line researchers should check Mary Kozy's web site for Henry Starr researchers (see link at left). [Note: Some of these pages are under construction.]
