Notes for Abraham CLARK

I am working this family backwards from Monroe County, Illinois. A very early record 1811 in the Hammes Collection reveals that Abraham and wife Susannah gives all their land and cattle to Jacob and Edward Clark for care as long as they live. Abraham
was in the War of 1812 in Illinois and referenced as a Captain. I am trying to determine their children's name because I believe my Isaac Clark married in 1812 in Illinois is one of their sons. There is a reference to a Lord Fairfax lease that was
recorded around 1791 for W.V. Northern Neck lands that showed the grandchildren of Abraham at that time as John, Edward, and Jacob. I have not been able to obtain that lease yet but the reference appears to give us a glimpse of the family members at
that moment in time. They moved from Hardy County, WV to Illinois around 1797 with the Badgley Settlement. I think Abraham III moved to Hardy around 1779.
That is what little I can figure out at this time but would like to determine Susannah's maiden name which may be of help when reviewing this associated family.
***
Perhaps died in Illinois. Had sons Jacob and Felix.
