Alexander married Anne Denton but from info available the marriage took place in 1822. Clark, Jerrimiah, John born prior to that date?This could have been a second marriage for him. Other children listed are Abraham and Oziah. Clark, who was my GGfather, married Sally Price, but I can't find her parents.They lived around Sparta, Tennessee and in Jackson County, just North of there. My mother told me that her father's father, Clark and several of his brothers fought in the Civil war, some on each side.There are lots of links to Anne Denton, daughter of Jerrimiah, "Litle Jerry" Denton and Ann Hogg.Look on Roorsweb.comI don't have a clue as to who was Alexander's father but if naming conventions were followed, probable Clark or John. Good luck.I came back to read, make corrections and add info.
