My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Week in Review - the Clacks and Bollings and Beavers

These were early colonists in Virginia, and Tennessee; we started with Richard Kennon Jr. (1690-1736) and his motherElizabeth Anne Worsham Kennon (1656-1743).

The Brick House built by Richard Kennon Jr's father.


At about the same time Mary Sterling married James Clack...Here, in Gloucester County VA, though she was raised in Maryland, so I looked into the history of that colony also.


Capt. John Rolfe was the subject HERE, with 3 wives (in succession) Sarah Hacker Rolfe (1590-1610), Pocahontas Rebecca Rolfe (1595-1617), and Jane Pierce Rolfe (1595-1635). Their birthdate are approximate.

Ancestry often gives a ship photo to designate that he was an immigrant to America

Col. Robert Bolling (1646-1709) was our subject here.



We visited the life of Col John Clack (1721-1784)  HERE. (He had fought in the French and Indian war before the American Revolution.



And we ended with some glimpses of Lt. Spencer Clack (Here.)

And a look was given to Mary Beavers Clack, wife of Lt. Spencer Clack, and their children. HERE
