Request any information or advice regarding the death or burial of Jemima CLARK, nee SCUTT. She and her husband Lt. Thomas CLARK lived in that part of Montgomery Co., which later became Giles Co. They lived on Stoney Creek, near Pearisburg. They were married on 10 October 1787 in Westmoreland Co., Va. (he was stationed in Pennsylvania at the time). She had her last child, Isaac CLARK 10 April 1806.
Family records do not record her removing to Gallia Co., Ohio in 1808 with her husband and family. She is not listed as being buried in the family plot on the farm of her husband.
