Need proof Lewis Morgan CLARK

Ebenezer United Methodist
Church
Does the above Church have any cemetery records other than the grave markers?
One grave marker states, Eliza M. W. CLARK

this Elizabeth be the second wife of Samuel CLARK?

8 Oct 1857 to Lewis HAYES
in Randolph Co., NC.
One son James Wesley HAYES
, b. 1854.
Was
not this the daughter of Joseph and Rachel (ALLRED) ALLRED
of the
Mt. Pleasant Creek area in Randolph Co., NC?
There is an earlier article in the Journal about the mother of this Anna
and her potential relationship to her husband called “No Leaf Unturned.”
You’ll find it in Vol. XXVI, No. 3 (Fall 2002).
At that time, we thought that James could not be her son because she was
married to Lewis HAYES after he was born. Or
perhaps he was her son, but adopted by HAYES.
