Joseph CLARK & Mary Ann GOLDEN

Diana, Goddess of the Hunt — for Ancestors!

Joseph "Jo" CLARK
Mary Ann GOLDEN

Husband: Joseph "Jo" CLARK
Birth: 1770, Bedford Co., VA
Death; 1841, Christian Co., KY
Will proved: 8 Mar 1842
Father said to be: Bolen CLARK
Mother said to be: Winifred BUFORD

I have some concern that these are not the correct parents for Joseph because Winifred would have been 46 years old when he was born. Had Bolen remarried a second, younger wife? Or is Joseph not Bolen's son, at all?

Marriage: 1790, Pendleton Co., SC
Transhumance said to be: 1803, to Christian Co., KY (same year as alleged brother Jonathan)

Wife: Mary Ann GOLDEN
Birth: 1776, Powhatan Co., VA
Death: bef. 1838, Christian Co., KY
