I'm seeking any additional information on Everett Dewayne Clark. I think he might have been my grand father. My mother was adopted. My mother's birth mother's name was Anna Thorn. My mother was born in 1941. Anna lived of Stultz Rd. near Huntington, Indiana at that time. Anna was the daughter of Charles Thorn and Fredricka (Szelis) Thorn. Anna was 22 days from her 23rd birthday when my mother was born. She was born in Huntington. Anna had another child named Robert Mitchell Jr. Anna was not married when she became pregnant with Robert Mitchell Jr. Anna's father forced the baby boy's father to married her. They never lived as husband and wife. Anna remained at her parents house. Anna became pregnant again around Dec. of 1940. She listed Everett Clark as the father of the baby. The baby (my mother) was put up for adoption. She was adopted by William Eldon Redding and Halcyon (Pitzer) Redding.
Anna told my mother that Everett Clark went by the nickname of Pard.
Thank you
