I am in search of information on the family of William David Clark and Sabina Smith of Bastard,Leeds Co.Canada. They lived in Bastard for many years and then moved to West Point, Stephenson Co., Illinois in the 1850s. This is all that I can find for them. I know William David Clark's lineage back to the 1600s.

Sorry, I have no info on Sabina's parents. There are 5 Smith households on 1851 Bastard Twp census. If you would like the info on those let me know and I'll forward the list by e mail.

I have names and dates for Sabrina's parents and siblings. Also spouses and children of some of her siblings. This info was gathered as her niece married a Bellamy,my maiden.
I would be willing to share this with you.

Searching for Bellamy's, info I have are as follows-
Charlotte Bellamy buried Jackson, MI
Elizabeth Bellamy buried Jackson, MI
Lilly Sheely/Seely-Bellamy-LaFever buried Jackson, MI
2 of her children when she was a Bellamy were:
Katie Bellamy
Frank Bellamy
Any connections?

If the Sabrina Smith Clarke you are talking about was the daughter of Timothy Smith and Mercy Lindsay Chamberlin, please contact me. I am descended from Timothy's sister Elizabeth Smith Judd and would love to correspond with descendants of this family. I have no information about his descendants other than a stepson. I also have met and correspond with a descendant of Timothy's other sister Electa Smith Abernethy

Hello Shannon

Hi Travis - I know we talked once before. I have succeeded in getting more hard info and I do now positively know that Sabina was the daughter of Timothy and not one of his brothers. E-mail me at home and we can catch up.

Was Sabina Smith b. 22 Sep 1821 in Leeds Co. Ont. married 2 Sep 1839 to William David Clark b. 29 Mar 1818 and did she die in Lena, Stephenson Co. IL? If so, who were David's parents?

I am from the Smith side. I don't know anything about the Clarks. I am researching collateral lines in the hopes I can find an descendant who knows more about the Smiths. I have a lot on my own branch, but not much on the rest of the family.

Hello

David and Sabina are both buried in Lena, yes. The parents of William David Clark are Harding Clark and Olive Tucker. Are you a descendant?
