1. | Bolling CLARK was born on 15 Feb 1721/22 in Hanover County, Virginia (son of Christopher CLARK and Penelope JOHNSON); died between 1744 and 1813 in North Carolina. Notes: Married Winifred Buford. |
2. | Christopher CLARK was born in 1681 in New Kent County, Virginia (son of Micajah CLARK and Sallie Ann MOORMAN); died on 28 May 1754 in Louisa County, Virginia. Other Events:
Notes: Captain Clark was a Quaker from England whose family came to Virginia via the Barbados. He purchased or patented 30,000 acres of Crown Lands in Hanover, Albermarle, and Louisa Counties, Virginia. He and the Anthony family were neighbors as far back as 1704. A number of noted men came from this Clark family, among them Governor James Clark of Kentucky, General John B. Clark, his son, both also Congressmen from Missouri. Captain Clark was a lawyer and partner with Nicholas Meriwether. He was also Captain of Hanover County militia in 1727, High Sheriff in 1731, Justice of Louisa County in 1742, Overseer of Friends Meeting House (Quaker) near Sugarloaf Mountains in 1749. Christopher married Penelope JOHNSON in 1709 in New Kent County, Virginia. Penelope (daughter of Edward JOHNSON and Elizabeth WALKER) was born on 14 Aug 1684 in New Kent County, Virginia; was christened on 17 Aug 1684 in St Peters Parish, New Kent County, Virginia; died on 14 Aug 1760 in New Kent County, Virginia.

3. | Penelope JOHNSON was born on 14 Aug 1684 in New Kent County, Virginia; was christened on 17 Aug 1684 in St Peters Parish, New Kent County, Virginia (daughter of Edward JOHNSON and Elizabeth WALKER); died on 14 Aug 1760 in New Kent County, Virginia. Notes: There is some debate as to whether Penelope was a Johnson/Johnston or a Bolling. There is evidence for both arguments, as there are many males in the Christopher Clark/Penelope Johnson lineage with the first name Bolling; however, that may also be a name inherited from another female in the family. There were Johnsons in the Cedar Creek Meeting, and as notes for Christopher Clark mentioned, some members of the Cedar Creek Meeting were ousted for marrying outside the meeting, which shifts the evidence in favor of Penelope being a Johnson.

4. | Micajah CLARK was born about 1650 in England (son of Michael CLARKE and Margaret YARRETT); died between 1704 and 1706 in Nansemond County, Virginia. Other Events:
Notes: Micajah Clark followed the example of his father and used family names for his sons. Edward was named for his grandfather, the ancient planter, and his uncle; Francis for his uncle and great-uncle; Christopher for his uncle and great-uncle. Micajah married Sallie Ann MOORMAN in 1668. Sallie (daughter of Zachariah MOORMAN and Mary Ann CANDLER) was born before 1653 in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, England; died on 5 Jan 1709/10 in Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
5. | Sallie Ann MOORMAN was born before 1653 in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, England (daughter of Zachariah MOORMAN and Mary Ann CANDLER); died on 5 Jan 1709/10 in Virginia.

6. | Edward JOHNSON was born in 1638 in Aberdeen, Scotland; died in 1704 in New Kent County, Virginia. Other Events:
Notes: An alternate date of birth of April 21, 1649 is often given for Edward Johnson; however, if this date is accurate, then he cannot be the son of Arthur Johnston, who died in 1641. Dr. Lorand Johnson, the source for much of the Johnson/Johnston information, states that Edward is indeed Arthur Johnston's son. However, some of his research has been found to be erroneous, calling all of it into question. While there is some circumstantial evidence pointing to Arthut Johnston as Edward Johnson's father, it is not conclusive, and DNA evidence would seem to refute the strongest piece of circumstantial evidence: a letter written by Ann Keith referring to her "cousin" Edward Johnston (the Keith family were related to the Johnstons of Caskieben). Therefore, Arthur Johnston has not been named as his parent. It is possible that some researchers are eager to link Edward Johnson to Arthur Johnston because that would entail royal lineage through Arthur Johnston's mother Christian Forbes. I would like to claim lineage from this fine, interesting family, but I'm just not convinced there is a valid connection except in the minds and wishful thinking of a few over-zealous descendants of Penelope Johnson Clark. Edward married Elizabeth WALKER in 1677 in Blissland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Alexander WALKER) was born on 13 Jan 1657/58 in Old Machar, Aberdeen, Scotland; died in 1725 in New Kent County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
7. | Elizabeth WALKER was born on 13 Jan 1657/58 in Old Machar, Aberdeen, Scotland (daughter of Alexander WALKER); died in 1725 in New Kent County, Virginia. Notes: It is not conclusively proven that Elizabeth was the former Elizabeth Walker.

8. | Michael CLARKE was born in 1624 in England (son of Edward CLARKE and Dianna HAYWARD); died on 3 Aug 1678 in Christ Church, Barbados, West Indies; was buried on 5 Aug 1678 in Christ Church, Barbados, West Indies. Notes: In "Anthony Roots and Branches," it is noted that Michael and Margaret Clarke and all their children except Micajah remained in Barbados. Michael married Margaret YARRETT about 1645. Margaret (daughter of William YARRETT) was born about 1626; died in 1681. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |

10. | Zachariah MOORMAN was born in 1619 in Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England (son of Thomas MOORMAN and Ida BRADING); died after 1670 in Nansemond County, Virginia. Other Events:
Notes: Zachariah Moorman was born on the Isle of Wight in 1619. At 19 years of age (1639), he joined the British Army and became a captain under Cromwell in the invasion of Ireland. After the subjugation on Ireland, he lived there for a few years, probably in the Belfast area. He married Mary Candler, daughter of William Candler, a native of Northhampton County, England and a colonel in Cromwell's army. He was awarded landed estate in Ireland and settled there. Zachariah married Mary Ann CANDLER in 1656 in Callan Castle, Kilkenny, Ireland.
