Hi,

I don't have an exact year of birth for Joseph Clarke but I do have him born
prior to 1732 as he was listed as one of the NOK of his uncle, Joseph Walker
in 1752.

11/10/1752: Admin. accts. of Joseph Walker, SMC. NOK: Joseph Clarke and
Clement Stratford, Exec: Wife, Monica.

I don't really have a good feel for the year of birth for Joseph Clarke, son
of Matthew Clarke and Lydia Hazel. The records don't given us any
indication of the ages of their children--whether they were adults or under
age in 1783.

8/18/1783: Admin. accts. of Matthew Clarke by Lydia Clarke, Admx. Widow,
1/3. Children, equally: Ann, Robert, John, Elijah, Zachariah, Matthew,
Joseph, Lydia, and Mary. (Balances and Distributions, Chr. of SM, Spring
1993).

I have that Mary Thompson, daughter of Thomas Thompson and Mary Cole married
Joshua Clarke. She may have been married first to a Bowles and was
therefore a widow when she married Joshua Clarke. Joshua Clarke married
Mary Bowles St. Francis Xavier RCC on September 16, 1772.

Jerry, I have no record of a Joseph Clarke dying in 1798 with or without a
wife named Mary. Was this in KY?
