James Clack Jr. (1698-1757) born in Ware, Gloucester, Virginia. His father (Rev. James Clack 1657-1723) was the minister of Ware Episcopal (Anglican) Church in Gloucester County, VA until his death.
James Clack Jr probably moved to Brunswick County, in southern Virginia, between 1730-31, since he had one child born in 1730 in Gloucester county, and one born in 1731 in Brunswick County. He was a Captain and mariner.
He was grandfather of Lt. Spencer Clack of Sevierville TN who fought in the Revolutionary War.
He died 29 JUN 1757 • St Andrews Parish, Brunswick, Virginia.
He's my 8th great Grandfather. His wife was Mary Sterling Clack. They had 12 children.
His son John
"John was a surveyor, a warden of St. Andrews Parish, and a sheriff. He is said to have become a lieutenant in 1748 and to have been a soldier in the French and Indian War from 1755-1763. He was in the House of Burgesses 1761-65, and was a member of the Brunswick County Court 1765. During the period 1782-1784 he was a Brunswick County taxpayer, with one poll tax payer and 16 slaves."
