James Martin Clark 1841-1904 was son of Abraham Clark and Mary Ann Edgmon.
Mary Ann aka Sabra Ann by many researchers, was daughter of Samuel Deatherage Edgmon and Sarah Percy.
Martha Jane Lee 1848-1896 was daughter of Edward I. Lee and Sabrey Ann Rankin.
During the Civil War, James Clark met Martha Lee while he was a patient in a military hospital in
Ft. Smith, Arkansas. They were married there, September 24, 1865. The above picture was taken that day.
I would like to make a comment here, about the name of the mother of James Clark. In my opinion, she was
named Mary Ann Edgmon and was known during her lifetime as Mary Ann Edgmon. Appears so in all census records
and available documents. I feel that through time, perhaps a mention of Grandma Sabra Ann was made...but feel
that reference was to the maternal Grandmother, Sabrey Rankin Lee. Because of this, perhaps when descendants
thought of 'Grandma's name', Sabra Ann came to mind...hence the referral to Mary Ann as Sabra Ann. Any thoughts
or discussion on this?
