From VA ARGUS, Friday July 29, 1808, published at Richmond by Samuel Pleasants.
DEPARTED this life on the 21st inst at his residence in the county of Albemarle MICAJAH CLARK, sen. aged 91 years, after a lingering ilness of 7 (? could be 2) months which he endured to the last, with unceasing patience, and a christian ?Ukefore_ories, altho he was from the commencement of this illness, confidently impressed with the belief he should never recover. This venerable man, hath had the happiness of enjoying a long and well spent life, in good health, almost uninterrupted, never having experienced more than one attack previous to the one which carried him off. He was, in every respect, perfectly uniform and temperate; his benign and humane contenance, plainly indicated the purity and benevolence of his heart, and opened an avenue to ?its/his innermost recesses by which any one might enter. How melancholy are the ?sensations we feel, when meditating on the loss of this, our friend, and the friend of mankind -- Philanthropy, humanity, morality and benevolence will severely deplore his loss, and shed a tear in remembrance of his departed shade. It's needless to recount the many amiable qualities which were united in this man; they are well known to all who knew him; but to those who knew him not, suffice it to say, he was a kind and benevolent neighbor, a humane and tender master, and that the poor never passed unheeded by him. The writer of these lines, hath from his infancy, known this man, whose loss we deplore, and in making the foregoing communication he has done it conscientiously.
July 26, 1808. A FRIEND.

• Occupation: Tobacco planter, Merchant, Lawyer
• Immigration: 1699, Barbados, South Carolina, Virginia

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.
In the Vestry meeting, December 18, 1697, St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, orders were given to clear roads. Families of Christopher and his brother, Edward, are listed. The work "families" is presumed to refer to slaves or people being settled on their land grants. (Eng. Duplicate of Lost Virginia Records) lists Christ'o Clark on Rent Rolls, 1704. In Hanover County, 1726, listed among other Justices of Peace were Nich'o Meriwether and Chr. Clark. His residence was at Green Springs, now in Louisa County, Virginia, on the waters of Camp Creek and South Anna River, on a part of rich land supposed to have been a former lake bed. The location is some 10 miles south of Gordonville and 6 miles from the line between Louisa and Albemarle Counties. Christopher cut a road from Green Springs to his lands in Albermarle County, near Charlotteville, which was called "Clark's Trace" or "Clark's Track." The family of General George Rogers Clark lived on this road about 15 miles from Green Springs. The relationship of General Clark to Christopher has been recognized by many. His parents were John Clark (born October, 1724, King and Queen County) and Ann Rogers (born October 20, 1734, King and Queen County). It is proven that they settled near the present site of Charlotteville, where George Rogers was born. They later moved to Caroline County where Governor (of Missouri) William Clark was born. Other brothers were Jonathan, John, Richard and Edmond, and he had four sisters.
Louisa County was created in 1742 from Hanover County which was created in 1720-21 from New Kent. Christopher was one of the Justices of the first Louisa Court that set up the county government. This meeting took place in the home of Matthew Jouett (also connected to this family) on Beaver Creek, December 12, 1742. Among those present were Robert Lewis, Richard Johnson, Christopher Clark, Thomas Meriwether (REF: History of Louisa County, by Harris).
In 1727 Christopher Clark is said to have been a captain in the Virginia Militia. In the will of Nicholas Meriwether, his law partner, dated 1743, Christopher was referred to as "Captain."
Christopher Clark and Nicholas Meriwether received thousands of acres of land grants. They probably passed much of these to other settlers. Christopher patented 4,000 to 5,000 acres in Hanover County in 1722 to 1739. In 1749, Christopher was appointed an "overseer" of the Quaker Meeting House near Sugar Loaf Mountain. He was not an original Quaker but joined the Society between 1743 and 1749. This meeting house near Sugar Loaf Mountain was situated on land Christopher had entered near Sugar Loaf Peak of West Mountain. (REF: Cabell's and Their Kin by Alexander Brown).
Will of Christopher Clark
In the Name of God, Amen. I CHRISTOPHER CLARK being in sound mind and memory thanks be to Almighty God for it, but calling to mind the uncertainty of life, make this my last will and testament as followeth:

And then if any left, to be equally divided among my said children, but not to be appraised in witness to the above premises.
I have sett my Hand and fixed my seal this fourteenth day of August, 1741.
CHRISTOPHER CLARK
In a Court held of Louisa County the 28th Day of May 1754, this will was proved this day in open court by Oath of Thomas Martain and affirmation of Ann Martain and admitted to record and is Recorded.
Tester, James Littlepage, Clerk
(Will Book I, 1745-1761, Louisa County, Virginia)
The Quakers were the earliest Dissenters to come to Louisa [County]. They established meetings at several points, and from the records of the meeting at Cedar Creek in Hanover, they were closely allied. The Cedar Creek Meeting contains records of the meetings on both Camp Creek and on Fork Creek as early as 1746. In 1758, the following are recorded as being part of the Camp Creek Meeting: Charles Moorman and family, Sarah Ballard, Charles Clark and family, John Moorman and family, Samuel Bunch and family, James Johnson and family, William Ballard and family, William Haley and family, Francis Clark and family, Francis Clark, Jr., and family, Charles Clarke, Jr., and family, George Taylor, and James Tate and family. Both of these Meetings had Meetings Houses. There was another Meeting under the mountains at which Christopher Clark was overseer. In lower Louisa, the following families were affiliated with the Cedar Creek Meeting: Micajah Clarke and wife Judith, Bolling and Winifred Clark, George and Cicely Bell, Richard and Elizabeth Bloxom, and Benjamin and Agnes Johnson. James Crew (who married Judith Harris) was also a member of this Meeting; however, he was put out of the Meeting because he owned slaves. His daughter Judith was also turned out for marrying outside of the Meeting (her husband was Halcolm Hart, a Presbyterian).
from History of Louisa County, Virginia, by Malcolm H. Harris, MD, p. 214

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. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.
Even though the Stevens-Davis Book (page 196) states that Christopher Clark (son of Micajah Clark and Sallie Ann Moorman) married circa 1709, Penelope Massie or Bolling, (died post 1754), the daughter of William Bolling and a grandaughter of Anthony Ashley-Cooper (121-83), First Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord High Commander of England, and the father of Habeas Corpus, "Anthony Roots and Branches," (page 181) states that the wife of Christopher Clark is believed to have been Penelope Johnson, b. Aug 4, 1684, dau. of Edward Johnson and Elizabeth Walker, St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA. Randolph A. Malone, in his book, "Josiah Carter," page 243, refers to Capt. Christopher Clark and Penelope (Johnson) Clark. "Anthony Roots and Branches," (page 198) also states that Penelope Johnson was the right age, and in the right place to have been the wife of Christopher Clark, and that Christopher Clark named four of his children for names in the Edward Johnson family, including Penelope. It is also stated on the same page (198) that the Genealogical Society of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter day Saints has accepted Johnson as the last name of Penelope, wife of Christopher Clark. Also stated on the same page (198) is the following:
(1) "Descendants of William and John Johnson" by Dr. Lorand V. Johnson says in comments in the back of the book re: Chart 1: "Agnes Clark was the daughter of Christopher and Penelope Clark. Penelope Johnson was the daughter of Edward Johnson of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co."
(2)Publications disagree about the names of the parents of Christopher Clark's wife but there is a recurring statement that she was a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the First Earl of Shaftesbury [which adds to the confusion].
Dr. Lorand Johnson attempted to show that the First Earl of Shaftesbury was a likely father of Sarah and Lucretia Massie, who married William and John Johnston of New Kent County, Virginia in the late 1600s. Lord Ashley had three marriages, but none of his wives are named. Lord Ashley was made one of the proprietors of Carolina in the spring of 1655; he persuaded Quakers to go to Carolina in the early 1670s. About this time, he became the Earl of Shaftesbury. He became involved in a plot agains the king in 1679, and escaped to the Netherlands under the name Johnson.
Anthony-Ashey Cooper, First Earl of Shaftesbury, secured passage of the Habeas Corpus Act in 1679. He became prominent under Cromwell, then helped plan the restoration of the monarchy. King Charles II made him Baron Ashley, Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Chancellor.
If it is proven that Penelope was a Bolling, she would be a descendant of Pocahontas. However, as such respected sources as have been listed here have accepted Penelope as a Johnson/Johnston, the Johnson/Johnston lineage is the one given in this family file.

Other Events:

• Immigration: Between 1669 and 1670, Barbados, South Carolina, Virginia

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, his wife, and her family joined a group and sailed in 1669 from England, with a stopover in Barbados, for America.
Michael, his wife, and their son Christopher remained in Barbados.
Captain Zachariah Moorman, Micajah's father-in-law, his wife, and Micajah and Sallie Ann continued the voyage, arriving at Somerton, Nansemond County, Virginia in 1670.
Upon immigration, Micajah Clark dropped the "e" from his last name, Clarke.

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]

Other Events:

• Immigration: Between 1676 and 1677, New Kent County, Virginia

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 was in Blissland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, by 1677. He signed his name to a list of grievances presented to the King's Commissioners who had come to investigate the causes of the Bacon's Rebellion of that year. The date of his arrival in Virginia is uncertain; however, births of four children are recorded in the new parish of St. Peter's, New Kent County, in the 1680s: Thomas, Elizabeth, Penelope, and Rachel. The mother of these children is named only as Elizabeth, but there is some evidence that she was Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Alexander Walker of Aberdeen, Scotland, who is known to have come to New Kent County. Two other children are listed in the St. Peter's Parish book -- Rebecka, born 1698, and Benjamin, born 1701. It is not clear whether these children belong to Edward and Elizabeth, Edward and a second wife, or another Edward Johnson, perhaps an older son. Blissland Parish records before 1680 have been lost. Dr. Lorand Johnson adds to this list Anthony, born 1678, Arthur, Michael, and William, born 1703. The argument has also been made that Anthony and Arthur are, in fact, the same person -- really Arthur, since one name comes from a birth record and the other from a marriage record.
Arthur Johnson, son of Edward Johnson and Elizabeth Walker, was born about 1690 and died January 1759 in Augusta County, Virginia. He married Margaret Phares, daughter of John Phares. They had several children, including Margaret Johnson, who was born seven months after her father's death. Margaret (1759- 1808) married Andrew Skidmore and settled in Randolph County, Virginia (now part of West Virginia). Arthur's proven presence in the family is additional circumstantial evidence that Edward was the son of Dr. Arthur Johnston.
Edward accompanied Anne Keith, his cousin's daughter, to Virginia in order that she might marry George Walker. He married George's younger sister, Elizabeth. At issue is whether someone who attended the June 1676 Quaker Meeting in London would have been able to sail to Virginia, meet and marry Elizabeth Walker, sign the Bacon's Rebellion grievance document of April 2, 1677 in New Kent County, acquire property and have a son, Anthony, who was reportedly born in New Kent County in 1678. No one knows for certain who the Edward Johnston who signed the Bacon's Rebellion grievance was, but the notion that a grievance signer would have to have been a landowner does not hold up to scrutiny. Quaker Thomas Moorman, who also signed the grievance, was only 19 in 1677 and would not have been a landowner. Furthermore, there is considerable doubt as to whether Anthony was the son of Edward and Elizabeth Johnson. One hypothesis is that he was the son of Thomas Johnson (who lived at Chericoke on Pamunkey Neck) and the grandson of Richard Johnson. Anthony Johnson's first child Thomas was born in December 1694, which makes it unlikely that Anthony could have been the product of a 1677 marriage.
Edward Johnston settled on Powhite Swamp shortly after 1686.

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]

Notes:

It is not conclusively proven that Elizabeth was the former Elizabeth Walker.

William married Elizabeth WOODSON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
