We are a small organization and not equipped to undertake research outside of our own archives. Winchester, Virginia, in neighboring Frederick County, has an historical society and an extensive repository of local history material in the archives of the Handley Regional Library. Prior to 1836, Clarke County was a part of Frederick County, so the answer to many of your questions may be found there. A list of fee-based researchers is available from the Handley Library Archives.
