<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you Marilyn in Bellingham, WA. I
certainly had CLARKs & MICHAELs in Linn Co. OR who m. into other Families,
but I do not recognize the Marks, Clarks, you mention from MO unless some of
mine migrated to MO that I don;t know of.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I'd be interested in knowing where in OR 1853, etc. (or in Lynn Co.)
they settled as that might help.</DIV>
<DIV>'Tis interesting that Clarks m. Clarks early on. I know that there is
a Joseph Clark Line that intermarried. I've heard that 5 diff. Clark Lines
intermarried with my/our Clark Lines. Perhaps this is why I get a bit
Whacky at times!</DIV>
<DIV>I have Tuttles, Lathrop/Lothrop/Lothropps galore/ Gibsons/ all from the
1630s America; Atkinsons, Damon, Scott,</DIV>
<DIV>Swift, and many many others. I know the LEAST about my SCOTT clan
which was my Mother's ancestors.</DIV>
<DIV>My wife has CARMAN ancestry Eng>MA in 1631 who settled in New Amsterdam
or NY area, and were </DIV>
<DIV>Founders of Hempstead, Long Island, NY after trading with Indians for
Land. That Carman Genealogy is a fabulous Line and is easily accessed by
entering John Carman or John Carman Genealogy in a browser which will take you
to a vast </DIV>
<DIV>amount of Carman Genealogy, and Allied Families with whom they associated
and intermarried with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm putting all this on here from my Noggin (head)
in case there are Others out there who might be inquisitive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best regards,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Carroll</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.S. I am partial to the name Marilyn, as I had a
very dear girl friend when we were both age 11 & 12 -she'd moved from
Bellingham to Snohomish -lived here only 2 yrs - but she moved to Bellingham
again with her Family.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Both of us became teachers, and both of us keep in contact despite about 70
yrs. What a great Family that was!</DIV>

<DIV>I have a Clark connection in early Oregon. Elizabeth Marks, b. 1842
in Missouri, the sister of my G-grandfather James P. Marks, married William S.
Clark Jan. 10, 1861 in Linn County, OR. William S. Clark was born about
1838 in Missouri.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Marks family arrived in Oregon in 1853.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any connection to the Clarks being discussed lately?</DIV>
