Mary Clack, i noticed in your notes that two women named mary, this is correct Mary Clack who married the attorney John Lightfoot and was the attorney for John Clack he was married to young Mary's mother and her name was Mary also I think her madien name was Sterling....so yes two married but not sisters, but one was her mother and young Mary and John Lightfoot married look at the book called calling all lightfoots it gives a history of the family of Lightfoots from England to their landing in VA about the 1600...this John Lightfoot and Mary Clack had no children, many say she was american Indian and isn't true her father and mother were English and John wasn't Indian either his father was an earliy settler in Va from England.
