My grandfather's name is John S. Clark. He lived in New York state. He was married to Ella Bryant and they had one daughter, Bessie Enola. Trying to find his ancestry. Thanks.

John S. Clark: when was he born and where in NY state ? Bessie Enola Clark when was she born ? Ella Bryant do you know her dob and was she from NY state ?

Bessie Enola Clark was born around 1886 in Connecticut. I have no idea when John was born and I believe he came from Middleton NY or something like that. Ella was probably born around 1860 to 1865 in CT also.

Thanks

noggin - Thank you for this information. My great grandmother, Ella A Bryant Clark died at the age of 42 or so, as did my grandmother, Bessie Enola Clark Cote. John S. Clark is my great grandfather. Just noticed that I wrote 'grandfather'. I looked at some of the info I have and the town in Middleboro NY? He seems to vanish at some point. Family story is that Ella and John divorced, but I notice she is listed as a widow in the census.

Again, thank you
Mary Ellen
