GENEALOGY
My Uncle Bryan Clark said, "The Clarks are like a
bottle of ants, when you take the lid off, they spread out all over the place". Looking from here into the past, the roots of this Clark family in Michigan,
journeyed from
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina,
Ireland, Wales, Germany and possibly Scotland. Some given names were, Grover Cleveland
(Cleve)
Clark, and Stella Mae Butler, Beriah M. Clark and Benetta Roberts,
Charles W. Clark and Narcissa Obedience Butler, John K. Clark and Lucy G.
Williams, Simeon Roberts and Adeline Brinkley, William G. Butler and
Sarah J. Woodard, Phillip Washington Butler and Elvira Ellen Brendel born in
Southeast Missouri and were my Mother's parents. We are now located in Michigan, Texas, Colorado and
Arizona. My sister, Ethel, lives here in Michigan. My brother, Gene, and his
family live in Indiana. My sister, Virginia, lives in Tennessee, and my
brother, Howard's, family lives in Florida. Howard died October 14, 1991 in
Orlando, Florida. Lord, help each one of us as individuals and as a
family, and help us to treasure the days of our journey through this life.
