Sherry, Hope you & yours had a good Christmas & new year.
I noticed in your Roark pages you have the same mistake that the LDS church seems to pass along to everyone.
William Roark & Sarah Dorris Roark had a son named John Roark but he did not marry my 3greatgrandmother Elizabeth Linville. He married a neighbor girl from the Puncheon Creek area, Nancy Driver, & they went to Muhlenburg Ky. They had 3 girls so that line of Roarks stopped there. There is another William Roark in Mulenburg Ky at the same time & he also had a son John. but again -no known connection to any Roarks in the area of Macon Co. Tn.
The John that married Elizabeth Linville & was my 3greatgrandfather came from Surry/ Stokes N.C. & was the son of Elijah & Judith Roark. John & Elizabeth came to Smith/Macon co. Tn. in 1808. They settled on Dry Fork of Goose Creek.
Hope this helps.
Love the way you have your genealogy sheets arranged.
