CLARKE FAMILY PAGE

CLARKE FAMILY HISTORY

My name is James A. Clarke. I am a fourth generation Clarke born in this country. It all started with my Great Great Grandfather James Moore Clarke(1852) who emigrated here from England, he was a carpenter. He married Louisa Miller(Oct,1861). Louisa was born here and they were married here. They had a son named John (Dec,1879)& lived on Harrison Street in Brooklyn. They then had four more children. Their names are as follows: My Great Grandfather Frank Clarke(Aug,1888), Eva Clarke(Nov,1883), Annie Clarke(May,1885) & Lucy Clarke(Birthdate not known). It was always said that my Great Great Grandafther was never very happy over here & when he went back to England for a visit he "disappeared". Then my Great Great Grandmother Louisa Miller Clarke got married again to a widower named Nicholas Ammann Jr(Sep,1849), who had four children from his first marriage. They were William(Jan,1874), Frank(Sep,1877), Andrew(Oct,1882) & Katherine(May,1884).
At this point John was no longer living at home & Lucy Clarke was married & became Lucy Clarke Moore. The only record that we have is that she had four children:Arthur, Joseph, Charles & Louise. No further information about her desendents is available.
So Nicholas Ammann Jr had four children, Louisa Miller Clarke Ammann had three chilren still living with her & when the two were married they had three more children together:
Elizabeth(Jun,1891), Charles(May,1894) & Lauretta(Jul,1898). Records show that Nicholas & Louisa Ammann and their ten children all lived at 73 Bartlett Street in Brooklyn,New York.
