The Clarinda line was lost for awhile (they knew where they were but we didn't know where they were) but contact has been made with the Internet.
Hi,
Yes, there are a whole parcel of us descended from Clarinda Black and WK Leonard. I think the most of us are in Colorado. I'm in Idaho. I would love to learn all I can about the Black family. I don't know anymore than that I am descended from Clarinda and who her parents were. Do you have more information that would help my search? It would be greatly appreciated.
Your long lost cousin,
Treshia
