It is the family iof General Jonathan Clark, elder brother of the Conquerer of the Northwest, which is here set forth.1 None of. the previously published accounts of this branch has covered the descendants thoroughly or in sufficient detail. While no genealogical record can be complete in all its parts, it is hoped that this article will bring forth from interested persons additions,and corrections which will be included in the later installments or will be filed in the archives of The Filson Club. In The Filson Club History Quarterly of January, 1935 (Volume 9, No. 1, pages 1-34), Mr. R. C.

    William Croghan, Sr

    WILLIAM CROGHAN, SR. [1752-1822]: A PIONEER KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN BY SAMUEL W. THOMAS, PH.D. Louisville, Kentucky By 1790, William Croghan was prepared to build his country seat. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, an accomplished surveyor, a rising entrepreneur, and within the year would become a father. The home he constructed a few miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky, now on Blankenbaker Lane, withstood the test of time and in 1961 was purchased by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the County of Jefferson. It has been restored by Jefferson County and Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. of Louisville to preserve and demonstrate a way of life led by a prominent pioneer Kentucky family and to serve as a fitting memorial to the home's most illustrious occupant, George Rogers Clark [1752-1818].1 William Croghan married General Clark's sister, Lucy Clark [1765-1838] in 1789 and the retired western military leader came to live permanently at the Croghan home, Locust Grove, in 1809. This paper is the result of the research program undertaken for the restoration of Locust Grove. The author wishes to thank Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. for its most generous support of the project. The land for Major Croghan's country seat was purchased on April 10, 1790, from a fellow surveyor, Hancock Lee [ca. 1736-1820]. The 387-acre tract near the fails of the Ohio River had been part of Colonel William Peachy's [1729-1802] 1,000-acre military land grant and its purchase cost 341 pounds.2 While the Georgian brick house was under construction, the family maintained a log cabin.

Editor's Introduction: To The Reader Of This Work: It is usually difficult for me to find fitting words whenever I try to write comments on works that I read. This work, however, showed me so much that I am faced with the difficulty of not being too lengthy in my introduction. As you read this work, consider what the prevalent societal attitudes were of the majority of people and the Government of the Colony of Massachusetts. I wasn’t necessarily surprised at their attitudes, but rather at the power they used and the lengths to which they went to proliferate them. In stark contrast, consider the attitudes of John Clarke and Obediah Holmes. Under such conditions as these, these men never demonstrate a spiteful or angry spirit, but rather denounce those who do.

THE FEMALE BRANCHES ONE GENERATION AFTER THE CLARK NAME IS LOST IN MARRIAGE. By JULIUS GAY, HARTFORD, CONN.: PRESS jOF the case, LOCKWOOD & BRAINARD COMPANY. ^\3-' 1883. ^A^Vo PREFACE. This genealogy of the descendants of John Clark of Farm- ington has been compiled at the request of Dennis Woodruff Clark, Esq., of Portland, Maine, a descendant of the sixth generation. I have aimed to copy all dates from contempo- rary records, but whenever I have been obliged to rely on more recent testimony, or when authorities differ, I have given my authority. In collecting the very few scattered records of the early members of the family from old bibles and wills, and moss-covered gravestones, I have been con- stantly reminded of that valley of dry bones in Holy Writ " in which the prophet was asked Can these dry bones live ?" Doubtless the reader will find the fragments dry enough and lifeless enough, but if he finds little but a carefully joined " skeleton, it shall not be built up of unrelated parts," such as critics claim to find in some now famous statues. Here, at the outset, we meet the great difficulty of the work. The family of Clark, or Clerk as the name was often spelled, was a numerous one, as are most of those named from occupations, such as Smith, Cook, Miller, Porter, and numerous others.

To the soldiers of the Army of the Cumberland, and to their friends at home, the author presents this volume of portraits, sketches, and incidents,— a work undertaken at the solicitation of many friends, with the view of affording pleasure to our soldiers and imparting information to the people, and, if it may be, to secure a fund for the erection of a monument to overlook the battle-field of Stone River, Tennessee, where rest, "unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown," hundreds of American citizens. This work is not intended as a history of the Rebellion, in a general sense, nor even as a detailed account of events occurring' in the history of the Army of the Cumberland. It is simply a collection of sketches and portraits of many of its representative men, and a narration of many interesting events which have transpired within its lines.

It is not too late. Scores of people have supported, encouraged, and inspired me during my journey from a depressed and hopeless, aging couch potato to a determined and eager go-getter who for the first time in a long time is genuinely excited about the future. Hats off to the entire pole vault community, an incredible group of folks from all around the world who have touched my life in so many ways, and are too numerous to mention individually. Having said that, I have to single out my fellow Houston native, Scarborough High School graduate, dear friend and brother, Bubba Sparks, who for some reason decided to take me under his inspirational wing, so to speak, and help me transform myself and rejuvenate my life. I’m forever grateful. And my loving wife, Katie, whose undying support through all my ups and downs over the past 20+ years makes everything possible.
