Notes

(Research):1800 NC Census
A Benjamin CLARK, Sr, and Alexander CLARK appear in the Burke county, NC, census. Possibly them? They do not appear in Wake county, NC.
--------
James Robertson, the "father of Tenessee" was from Wake Co NC. Could he have been the father of Elizabeth Robertson? "Of such adeventurous spirit was James Robertson, a Virginian born of Ulster Scot parentage, and a resident of (the present) Wake County, North Carolina, since his boyhood."
