[or-roots] Suzanne's original question

[Ronda Howard]

Hi Nancy and everyone,
I sent Suzanne three family trees from Ancestry off list.  I found several Thomas Benton Clarks (see list below), but no one with the right wife had any ancestors of Thomas.

Does anyone have thoughts on Suzanne's original question, or how to find the why's of our ancestors?

I have more detailed information, but am looking for Thomas Benton Clark
ancestors or some indication why he was the only one of his family to move
to Oregon.

        Hi Suzanne,
        You mentioned you are looking for your Thomas Benton Clark's Ancestors?
        I found this at ancestry.com his Father was: 

        Father:
        Ephraim M. Clark, 
        Born: Feb. 8 1822.    Lexington, Layfayette,  MO. 
        Died: Aug. 13, 1914  Orrick, Ray, MO.

        Mother:
        Juliette Julia Harris
        Born: 1834
        Died: 1920 

        There is more information there with names & dates if are interested & don't have yet?

        I am new to this list and would appreciate any help I can get.
        I am working on the following:
        Thomas Benton Clark m. Matilda Forrest in Dayton, Yamhill, Oregon 1876 or
        1878.
        Their son Riley Lester Clark m. Stella Irene Sims in Portland, Multnomah,
        Oregon March 19, 1916.
        Riley and Stella were my maternal grandparents.

        I have more detailed information, but am looking for Thomas Benton Clark
        ancestors or some indication why he was the only one of his family to move
        to Oregon.

        Thanks
        Suzanne
