Biography
Jeff was born to Charles Edward Clark and Wilda Louise Guillow about 9 months after the blizzard of '62. Coincidentally, around 1973 there were three Jeff's with birthdays Sep. 5, 6, and 7 running the streets of New Capehart in Bangor!
For reasons that will remain his own, Charles left around then and Wilda worked nights. Jeff was known to half wake her, say he was going to ... fishing, and leave with her not remembering. "..." was usually ten miles out of town by bike with a couple other 12 year olds. Even six years earlier he instigated a couple neighbors to hop on their bikes at 5pm and go five miles to the airport to watch planes land, returning to panicked households after 9pm.
It was a different world in the 60's and 70's.
Again, coincidentally, at one of his fishing holes he was probably trespassing on land once owned by his great, (great, great...) grandfathers, great uncles, etc. - the Clarks, Lancasters, and Bubiers of Kenduskeag Plantation and the Ohio Settlement - over 200 years ago.
Jeff fell in with a bad crowd - engineers and science types, every one of them - and was gainfully employed in engineering as a junior in high school. Take no pity on him though, for he also ran a still in Mr. Johnson's chem lab at Bangor High and white lightning may have left the premises - and come back on dance night.
His mother remarried and the stepfather's insanity was soon proven by his desire to adopt Jeff and four younger siblings - each more of a handful than those before them!
Ancestry / Ethnicity (if there is such a thing)
From Y line to mt line: Swiss-German (Sutter), German (Ruthardt), English/Irish (Clark), Irish/English (Fahey), Bretagne (Guillou), English/French (Elliot), English/Dutch (Foster), French/Quebecois (Charette).
The Swiss came to America from Basel in 1830's during the civil war in Switzerland. The Ruthardts came from Baden Wurtemburg in 1849. The Clark ancestry is speculative before 1777, when Ichabod was born in Maugerville, Nova Scotia (now New Brunswick) to rebels originally from the New England colonies. Common statements tie them to the Joseph Clark of Medfield, Mass. The Fahys are Irish by way of Charlotte, New Brunswick, coming on famine ship, 'the Sea' in 1847. The first known Guillou in my tree appears to come from Bretagne in 1775 and joined the rebellion the next year. He claimed to be Italian to avoid hatred at the close of the French and Indian war and later generations claim he came with LaFayette and stayed - neither true. The Elliots came into New England from Canada in the late 1800's. The Fosters were Tories that left America in 1783 and settled the lands on the St John river, near those vacated by the rebellious Clarks. They came back to Maine in 1903.
Ichabod Clark made it to what is now Bangor, Maine and married well to the daughter of Elihu Lancaster who allegedly had Plantagenets in his tree.
The Charettes, Miville dite Deschesnes, Ouellets, Bouchards, Blanchettes, Pelletiers, St. Pierre dit Desaints, Parents, Mivilles, Thibaults, Corbins, Dionnes, Cloutiers, Sauciers, Mignier dite Lagases, Levesques, Morneaus, Grondins, Marquis, Carons, Talons, Soucy dite Lavignes, Sauvognes, Fouquereaus, Grossons, Michels, Lefebvres, Langlois, Mignot, Choinard, Valin, Jean, Favreau, Gillette, de Baiillon, etc. include 13 filles du rois. One of these is Lady Marie Catherine de Baillon.

Many thanks,

I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have yet to hear back from you. I hope you are well.
If I dont hear from you in the next week or so Ill assume you no longer wish to be in the project and go ahead and remove you. You would, of course, be most welcome to rejoin at any time via the G2G sign-up post.
Best wishes,
Kylie :-)
The Germany/German Roots Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? We have many new teams so have a look on the Germany project page for the list of them. Is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!
We use Google groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their follwed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (GERMANY) so you don't miss any disucssions in G2G.
We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all the work you have been doing. We look forward to hearing back from you and that you will decide to be part of the project as we move forward with the new teams for the project.
Please respond by email. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Kylie ~ Germany Project Leader
You will want to switch your "french_roots" followed tag to "france". Please check this out: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/846021/french-roots-becomes-the-france-project
Isabelle
Thank you so much for responding to our check-in. We are delighted that you wish to continue contributing to the Military and War Project. Below is a quick checklist for active members. The project leaders would like you to make sure you have done the following:
1) Checked the Project Page for ways to contribute.
2) Added MILITARY_AND_WAR to the tags you follow.
3) PMed the Project Coordinator with your email address to be added to the Google Group.
4) Bookmarked the Activity Feed to monitor the project watchlist.

On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.
First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the Military and War Project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.
Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in which ways you have contributed to the main project or a sub-project within the last two months.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks for taking the pre-1700 quiz and congratulations on earning the badge! I see you are already a member of a project, so you'll definitely have a need for it.
Natalie ~ pre-1700 Greeter
And I do want to comment on something I noticed in your profiles. You're in the habit of using two-letter postal abbreviations for the states and for Canada. Please don't. Please spell out the names. Not everyone in the world will know what abbreviations like ME and NH mean (not even all Americans!), and abbreviations like CA can be ambiguous (Canada or California?). So it's best to use the full names. Thanks!
This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?
Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.
I'm here to help with issues and questions about how WikiTree works. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send a private message.
Debi ~ WikiGreeter
PS If you get a "Page Not Found" error when clicking WikiTree email links, you can often find a working version in the public comments on your profile.
PPS Did you discover that the tags on your profile are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag? You can add more, up to 20 total.
I have also awarded you the Military and War project badge as it is the umbrella project for all the wars.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the projects and the guidelines we have in place.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
